    Louis wide decision or the referee stops it at around round 8 when Bowe is taking to much punishment.

    Bowe lack of defense inability to handle any jab and penchant for brawling make this a nightmare fight for him.

    Bowe takes too many shots, and Joe Louis was masterful at placing his punches. Hard and accurate combos win it for the Brown Bomber.
    Louis is the easy pick here.

    Tough one to call. Leaning toward Louis slightly.

    Riddick Bowe is a lot bigger than Joe Louis.

    if we're talking about the very best Bowe, which was the first fight against Evander. then he wins by KO.

    Bowe fights outside and in. is far too big. and hits too hard for someone who definitely had a shaky chin.

    Louis will come off second best every time in a physical fight. which Bowe would make it in to.

    This may be the first poll in the tournament where the bigger, more "modern" heavyweight isn't handily winning.
