If the rumors about Cooper being doped up on drugs and having spent the night before the Foreman fight with prostitutes, then that would explain...
Established his name by knocking over tomato cans and no-hopers and then losing lopsidedly to Evander Holyfield.
The motivated, fit Mercer would be a stern test for Bowe; the lazy, fat, unmotivated Mercer would be a cakewalk. Mercer impressed me with how...
Well, Bowe beat other decent fighters, including Larry Donald, Jorge Gonzales, Buster Mathis Jr., and Herbie Hide -- not exactly a murderer's row...
Larry didn't really fight, though. He was in defensive mode for the first three rounds or so and didn't really open up until the 4th -- and that...

Foreman carefully handpicked his opponents during his comeback for a reason: he was far, far from being unbeatable. And a guy like Douglas would...
Well, Douglas had all the tools that Riddick Bowe did, and Bowe trounced Holyfield in fight number one. I actually think Douglas moved better and...
No way 1990 Foreman beats 'Tokyo' Douglas. That version of Douglas had everything with which to trouble Foreman: great movement, hard, snappy left...
Foreman also said Gerry Cooney and Cleveland Williams were extremely hard punchers. Foreman usually says Cooney or Lyle were the hardest punchers...
I cited just one example; there are many others. And I don't disagree that greater size and weight often do correlate with an increase in punching...
