    Damn would that be a fight. I think that Schmeling has a chance, but he definitely will have to overcome a knockdown or two, no matter what happens. Max could try to entice Bowe into trading, or brawling, and try to catch him there, but there's a big size differential here- And I'm not sure Schmeling can beat such a skilled big man like the Big Daddy.

    Sadly Max is too small, maybe he can land a few counters early and make it a fight but I don't see him getting past the middle rounds. Bowe's too big, explosive and powerful

    Much as I like max, he's getting hurt here imo.
    It's possible he wins a few early rounds but Bowe in top form would eventually batter his way through max guard.
    Riddick between 6to 8 rounds.

    Riddick would destroy him as much or worse than Max (Baer).

    I’ve got Bowe in six myself. I do not see it being uncompetitive however. Rather, Bowe comes on hard & ends it suddenly.

    Bowe is simply too big and powerful--that combination would eventually wear down Schmeling. KO or stoppage in roughly 6-7 rounds.
