    Ellis' movement would cause Bowe problems for a little while,as with Herbie Hide. Riddick's larger size would eventually tell though. If Jimmy had been a bigger heavyweight,I'd make him favourite.

    Fair analysis.

    Jimmy was as good of a boxer as anyone, but just didn't have the physical tools to dominate big men who could punch. I'd give Ellis the first 3 rounds on the cards, before Bowe starts getting to the inside and inflicting damage, resulting in a stoppage somewhere between rounds 5-7
     
  4. Bowe wud eat Ellis's shots ,
    mabye clown a little ,
    and then knock hm out in the "mid rounds " .
    Bowe, just another caliber of fighter ,
    and in the long run , just too good of a fighter ,
    it wud be 1 mismatch .
