    I'll try and find out. I do remember Ipitan was trained by Ken Norton who defo had some serious connections in the boxing game - hence he sparred a lot with Bowe and Lennox.

    Foreman looked pretty good vs a prime Briggs. I had him winning 9-3 lol.

    If you upload em to Google Drive, you can link em with the media function and have em show up. Gotta make sure that you manage access on the link before sending it, though, you gotta make it to where everyone can see it with the link.

    In 1997 Definitely George by decision. Probably manages to drop Bowe once or twice with a couple of sneaky uppercuts tries to fight inside.

    Foreman was well diminshed from his showing against Holyfield in '91. Bowe was toast by '97.. dead man walking. Foreman seemed more mentally there by '97.

    I voted for Foreman. But anything could happen between those two in their shape then. Might even be entertaining in a morbid, curious kind of way.
