Riddick Bowe says Walcott would be a difficult opponent to beat

Bowe says he believes that he'd stop Walcott late because of his superior size and power, but that it would be a come from behind win like what was the case in Joe Louis vs Jersey Joe.

Bowe also praises Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles and Rocky Marciano.

What do the denizens of boxingforum24 think of this? Remember that Walcott was 6' 196 pounds, not much smaller than the 6'2 205 pounds that Holyfield was in his 1992 fight vs Bowe.

 

I know reznick hasn't hopped on the size bandwagon!!!

 

Question is how long could Walcott go without Bowe landing cleanly?

And how much harder than Holyfield did Walcott hit? Though personally, I think a 1993 Holyfield that was bigger possessed slightly more punching power than his 1992 and prior self.

Walcott may have been more along the lines of a 93-99 Holyfield in terms of punching power.

 

Its feasible that Walcotts movement and sharp counters give Bowe problems. I doubt Walcott would fight Bowe head up like Holyfield did
