    Weaver Bowe would go 4 right away and get the TKO. Cleve I can't say. Nobody presses the Big Cat from the opening bell. Williams stays outside, jabs, and lands some good combos on occasion, and even stuns Bowe once or twice. Bowe uses the clinches as an opportunity to take control of the fight and turn it into an inside fight. He wears Williams down. Bowe TKO 3 or 5

    Bowe was a big puncher

    If Williams was more durable, I would see him being a threat for Bowe. He's not though, so Riddick would beat both in exciting brawls.

    I can see Bowe beating both but at the same time maybe getting tagged and rocked first. One thing about Riddick is, he liked a tear up.
    If either man had made Bowe blink then it would turn in to a mini war.

    So you're saying Bowe by KO?

    Beats both, but his non-existent defense means he's going to be in for a tough time.

    I am, I'll say both fights over by the sixth round to. Very exciting while they last to!

    Bowe had the defense of a Pernell Whitaker.

    Bowe beats both, although he will have a harder time with Williams

    Jack Sharkey would be a better match for Bowe. He was a very slick boxer and could hit hard enough to drop big men.

    With Weaver it all depends on how badly he hurts Weaver. He might hurt Weaver just badly enough that Weaver wakes up and turns on the action, in which case this a barnburner. Weaver just needed a good scare b4 giving a good fight. If Bowe catches him with one of his best and most powerful shots, Weaver wouldn't come back. I think the latter is more likely given Bowe's killer instinct.

    I think he convincingly beats both of those men.

    I agree. Both Weaver and Williams were great finishers.
