Joe Frazier vs Riddick Bowe

I went with Bowe by decision. Frazier was the better fighter but i think Bowes physical advantages would prevail here.

 

FOTC Frazier Vs. Bowe (Holyfield 1) The fight would end with Bowe winning on points and Frazier looking the same as Holyfield after the fight. That's how I see it; no one would be knocked out. FOTC Frazier, Bowe (Holyfield 1), as well as Holyfield (Bowe 1), are the peak of these boxers, while Ali who lost FOTC is not Ali's peak.

 

I think Bowe is a bit overrated but as they say a good man will always beat a good little man, and I believe Frazier will come off 2nd best exchanging punches on inside against the bigger man. Bowe also has a better uppercut than Ali and better inside fighting skills to beat Frazier.

The only plus is that I think Frazier hits harder than Holyfield, and his punches might have more of an effect on Bowe. Funnily enough Frazier would probably be the hardest puncher Bowe has ever fought.

 

bowe threw nice uppercuts. i think that would be a big weapon here.

 

I’m going to go against the grain here and pick Frazier. Bowe’s defense was absolutely horrendous and he tended to loop the right hand, both of which leave Bowe a sitting target for Frazier’s left hook.

 

Bowe liked beating up the little guys

 

Even harder than Herbie Hide?

 

Yes because Frazier hits harder much more consistently than Hide does.

Hide looked like he was having a panic attack vs Bowe after few rounds, and was falling on the canvas on his accord in every round.

Hides so called power at Heavyweight is vs a totally shot Tony Tucker who had lost 3 out of his last 5 fights, and vs a fringe contender Bentt who lucked out vs Morrison.

 

Frazier would be a sitting duck for Bowe's uppercuts.

 

A chinny Left hooker who got nailed by every punch in the book as evidenced by his Moon Crater face after his signature fights vs a 6'5 235 pound skilled big guy who was probably the best Superheavy infighter to date with a murderous uppercut .......you do the math.......down goes Frazier.

Who are those Einsteins voted Frazier by KO, Frazier is 1-4 in his claim to fame fights, he did not stop anybody on that run vs Bowe next to Marciano are the ONLY Heavyweight Champs in the History of the sport who were never stopped.

 

Buster Mathis was huge and Joe Frazier beat him down.

 

Mathis is not equivalent to prime Bowe

 

Ironic you're criticizing someone who "got nailed by every punch in the book" in a BOWE thread. Dude had the absolute worst defense of any modern heavyweight champion. He couldn't even use head movement to shake his head, which he'd need to do, looking back at his underwhelming career.

Funny you call Frazier chinny, when Bowe notoriously wanted no part of punchers and would've faired exactly the same against Foreman.

As for him not being stopped, name some notable punchers he faced. He wanted zero part of Ruddock, Tyson, etc and we know what happened when ordered to fight Lewis by the WBC.

Golota also came very close to stopping him twice and would've done so had he not been disqualified.

"Who are those Einsteins voted Frazier by KO" Funny you're criticizing the intelligence of those who voted for Frazier when you can't form a sentence correctly and too stupid to see the results of a PUBLIC poll. You're the worst long-term poster here, you have zero right to criticize anyone.

 

Frazier wears him out like a cheap suit.
