    Bowe was an unbelievably skilled SHW, but way to hittable. I also dont think he could weather Max's overhand right.

    Yea that's a good way to start a thread, matching bowe with baer and saying that bowe is easy to hit, when in reality baer was as crude and wild as they come, like a caveman.
    Baer is probably the guy with worst defense of all hw champs with foreman being second.

    Anyway, bowe would easily and early destroy baer.
    A much better boxer with greater natural gifts like size, speed, strength, reflexes, coordination etc..

    Bowe would still buckle like a belt if Baer connected

    If it wasn't in the b.ollocks, he'd get straight back up. Bowe is much bigger and much better in every department..Baer gets destroyed

    Baer would take a career beating , it would make the Louis loss like a walk in the park.

    But what big punchers did Bowe ever face?

    Baer was easy to hit too when in slugging mode. I see Baer knocking out Bowe. Nobody who has his hands full fighting toe to toe with Holyfield is going to knockout Baer in a slugfest which is what it would be.

    Holyfield wrecks Baer in a slugfest, Bowe abuses him beyond belief. Baer just wasn't very good when comparing him against greats

    Baer is underrated, but Bowe was right on the cusp of being great. Bowe wins within 8.

    Baer is the type of opponent that Bowe and his team avoided his whole career.
