prime foreman vs prime bowe

Foreman by knockout,... but it'd get nasty as hell first.

 

Bowe could have inflicted a fair amount of damage on George, but his lack of defense and tendency to absorb too much punishment would be his ultimate undoing. Against a young Foreman of the 70's, I'd predict a Foreman win via KO. Against a comeback Foreman, I'd go with Bowe by decision.

 

Bowe might have decked Big George along the way, but it would have resulted in a war with Bowe taking the count as did Ron Lyle.

 

Whose defense was worse Foremans or Bowes?

 

Foreman had a far superior defence because he actually attempted to block and parry shots. Bowe relied on his chin which worked for him against the opposition he faced (apart from golota obviously).

Foreman sparks bowe, a man with such weak defence cannot fight george and come out on top.

 

Bowe starts out trying to box but soon gets drawn into a slugfest. The fans get a real special treat for the next few rounds as the big men pound away at each other, but eventually Foreman comes out on top.

 

Agreed, but it would be carnage while it lasted.

 

Given Bowe's own power and range, I think he has the tools to bust Foreman up pretty good. He just may be able to pull out the monumental upset KO if he can use his assets to full capability.
Otherwise, my pick is Foreman by late stoppage.

 

I think Foreman by a mid round stoppage. A great war.

 

I think bowe with any big guy would be a great war because for some reason he was an infighter and with his size it leads to great fights.

 

Bowe does better than the extremely overrated Ron Lyle, then KO's a tired Foreman in round 6.

 

Bowe would do a better job than Smoke.

Bowe has the arsenal and the size to do it.
But Foreman was a ****ing monster.

Bowe would need to be patiently aggresive, not get mixed up into a brawl and box smartly.

Im not going to pick anyone

 

Voted Foreman but I do like Bowe's chances. Bowe of Holyfield I could outbox Foreman I think especially over the distance as George fades while he maintains his stamina.
