Riddick Bowe v Larry Holmes

What a tremendous match up. One of the best ever at heavyweight.

That is all.

 

I think Bowe would give him a hell of a fight. I think it would be a war. I'd have to favor the experience and toughness of Holmes.

 

100% with you on this assessment. Bowe would be getting busted up by Larry's piston-like jab all night. Holmes has better speed, defense, and ring mechanics. It would be a UD by a fairly wide margin for Holmes--possibly a late stoppage.

 

Bowe would get lit up like a Christmas tree by a superb technician like Holmes.

Bowe couldn't handle a good jab he said himself he couldn't do anything about Golota's jab.

Holmes would befuddle and outbox Bowe at range and win a comprehensive decision in the region of 8-4 or 10-5 if its 15 rounds.

 

Holmes by UD for sure.

Way more consistent, way more intelligent and a considerably better fighter in almost every aspect.
