    Bowe liked fighting the smaller guys but Louis is probably the wrong "smaller guy" to pick on. If louis can hurt Bowe - and I think he can - then he probably whallops him. If Bowe's chin somehow holds up then it's not going to be too much fun for Louis either and I foresee a slugfest that Bowe has a decent chance of winning. I'd say 75-25 to Louis.

    It might be a mistake on my part, but what fights did Joe fight mostly, or at least a significant part of on the inside? in the vein of Gene Fullmer, Bert Cooper, Joe Frazier, etc.? If you had a few in mind I would be glad to watch/ rewatch them and reconsider.

    Bowe wins one SD and knocks down Louis, gets beat and knocked down to lose a UD in the second fight, gets knocked down all around and stopped in 4 in the 3rd fight.

    3rd one seems a bit improbable Rules :)

    Louis did beat Buddy Baer so he could beat prime Riddick Bowe TBH.
