how would foreman have faired, bowe was good and strong on the inside, didnt have an amazing chin even though he never got knocked out as a pro and ate some huge shots in his career, would he be all wrong for foreman? im not so sure, im a HUGE bowe fan, but he wouldnt be able to ko george i dont think anyway, and he tired badly, then again this could be an alex stewart all over again but worse for foreman might he have been stoped if he swelled up like that against world champ bowe?
Bowe was a legitimate heavyweight with a lot of talent. No way in heck Foreman would have fought him. You don't go life and death with Alex Stewart, get outboxed by Tommy Morrison, and get treated like a heavy bag on the end of a 12-round workout by Holyfield and expect to compete with, much less beat, Riddick Bowe! Even the so-called out of shape Bowe, the one who weighed 247 in the Holyfield match or the one who weighed 250+ for Golota I, would have been way too talented and good for George Foreman. Foreman would lose badly, either by lopsided (and painful) decision or by way of TKO.
yeah but, george wanted the tittle back and it was mission incomplete at that time, also morrison ran from an oldd foreman and he was on steroids so is that really even legitimate? foreman beat imo shannon briggs in 1997 who was pritty big roughly the same size as bowe, maybe faster worse to equal chin, and alot less power,
honestly, Foreman fought Holyfield and Morrison and Moorer for titles, only beating Moorer, who had a weak chin and was not a great champion at all. Bowe was better than Evander h2h as a heavyweight champion, yet Evander was a better champ overall in history, and Bowe was much better than Morrrison. I think Bowe outclassed Foreman and stops him in mid rounds.
IF ALEX STEWART REALLY BUSTED FOREMAN UP/ then riddick bowe would do it even worst....riddick bowe stops foreamn on tko in 8 rds....but foreman doesnt go down...bowe was bigger than stewart and had a way better jab.....at 43 george was just to slow for a bigman like riddick bowe:smoke
The superb Bowe who defeated Holyfield looked like he would reign for a LONG period of time. Great size, chin, strength, punching power, toughness, he had everything. However, laziness and sloth are powerful deterrents to lasting greatness. But the Bowe of 1992-93' was still formidable and Foreman will feel the sting. This is not a half-dead, alcoholic like Cooney or the dope fiend Bert Cooper here. Bowe turns Foreman's face into ground beef and the fight is halted between the 7th and 8th rounds. Bowe by TKO
