Prime George Foreman vs Prime Riddick Bowe

cause the dumb myth goes shorter always loses cause of joe even though all short boxers dont fight the same

 

This is probably a Foreman win by 8th round knockout. Bowe was not in my mind a great fighter. Foreman was, although Foreman had no other gear, but that gear he had like I said earlier was a great gear.

 

It was similar to the Carter Apartments of New Jack City fame. Eddie Futch visited Bowe there and he could see Bowe didn't do drugs or have any involved with selling. That is one of the reasons Futch agreed to work with Bowe.

 

....
What the hell is dishonest about Bowe beeing more technically sound than 70s Foreman, who compensated all of this with brute force, agression and power ?

 

Bowe by TKO or UD.

 

It's about the poster, not the post itself.

 

His nut punch resistance, sure..

 

Holyfield missing durability?

 

Foreman by stoppage around the 8th or 9th in a big fun slugfest.

 

yea bowe is way more skilled then George

 

Bowe is durable enough to take Georg's best, come back and take him out late.

Bowe tko's him in the 10th

 

After reading more on this thread I still question whether Bowe could keep it together mentally and emotionally. It's amazing his team got him as far as they did.
Not questioning his talent but between the ears. Sometimes those issues come out in different ways. Letting go of his discipline, dirty fighting, bizzare behavior, it was there all along.
Having a monster like Foreman in your face would unravel Riddick.

 

I’d like to think foreman could win and he might. But Bowe would be a very tough and resilient opponent.

 

In fairness to Bowe he never quit nor was ever stopped even when while taking a beating. Therefore I don’t think his mental fortitude or resolve should be questioned.

 

1972 Foreman beats ANY version of Bowe.

If Bowe shows up at all, he loses this fight during the staredown.
