    Bowe's going down and out in 8 rounds or less.

    Yes I understand that. You brought the Cooper fights up and compared their styles. Not to mention that Foreman fought a Cracked out version of Bert Cooper.

    I'd be rooting for Bowe all the way here.

    But he's getting stopped.

    Too easy to hit, and George has too much firepower.

    :lol::lol::lol: No.

    NOBODY'S defense was worse than Bowe's! Well, unless you're talking about someone like Arreola, Tua, Peter, Maskeav, ect.....

    Riddick never met a punch he could avoid. He had a solid chin, and excellent recovery powers to go along with one of the biggest hearts in history. But make no mistake, his defense was horrible.

    It's the reason why he wouldn't beat someone as devestating as a Foreman, Tyson, or Lewis.

    @StevieG..Exactly..And it would only take one shot from Big Goerge and that would be it.

    Neither had great defence imo . Bowe was always hittable and ,if that is you ,and you are facing Mr Foreman it is usually bye byes for you at some stage of the evening.

    If/When Bowe is able to hurt Foreman and back him up George would be in trouble. Foreman with no plan B and no reverse gear. Bowe could box him much easier. Once he gets that respect.

    Ive read alot about Foreman`s power but Big George never had a 240lbs monster like Riddick Bowe dropping bombs on him.

    Not to mention Bowe had the stamina to make it to the 10th, 11th, or 12 round...If he could get Foreman to 4 rounds...Bowe detroys him..

    Only if he tries to trade with him early cause theres no way Bowe would survive goin blow for blow with Big George. But im afraid he would so theres a good chance Foreman gets him outa there quick.
