    Bowe looked to be in pretty good shape, and George probably weighed 255 or so.

    Dang! Another 90 s potential match up that would have been great.

    Do you think Bowe would have knocked Foreman out?

    I think Foreman didn't want to hurt Bowe, because deep down Bowe was just an insecure little kid, and Big George doesn't hurt kids. :)

    Big George comes off well here, he knows he don't want nothing to do with R. Bowe. George Foreman seems so different as a young man compared to 90s George, like completely different people. Bowe is my personal favourite heavyweight of all time though* and after seeing a picture of Lennox Lewis earlier in another thread and now seeing Bowe looking in great shape here it's a real shame we never got that fight no matter the real reasons.

    Bowe still had a pulse in '94 when George scored the miracle ko of Moorer. No way he'd have given Bowe a shot. If he had, Bowe would have beat the crap out of old George. Bowe by mid rounds mercy stoppage.

    Foreman experienced struggles at that point.a big long range and pretty competant defender on the inside would defeat Foreman soundly.....


    i did win some $$ on foreman k.o win on Moorer BTW...
