Riddick Bowe vs Comeback Foreman

Bowe wins by UD in convincing fashion but foreman lands some killer punches and hurts Bowe which would probably make those HBO cheerleaders scream

Also, on the inside bowe would have a huge advantage. Foreman typically covered up in the inside with his cross arms. Bowe's combos-paticuarly the uppercut would get through the guard and bust foreman up.

I'd say bowe takes it on youth and speed.. Young foreman rips bowe a new one though. positive of that.

 

I think it would be quite a boring fight. Its totaly do-able for bowe to do it on points but riddick would have to work quite hard and concentrate to stay on the outside because old george would clump him if they ever exchanged up close. Bowe was brave but his beard and concentration was never that good. If foremans face swelled up like it did against alex stewart bowe would be far too tempted to play into foremans game.

What made holyfeild v bowe1 so exciting was riddicks lapses in concentration that alowed evander to get back into the fight. Bowes willingness to exchange inside with a much smaller guy made it closer than it could have been. I dont think for all his talent I ever saw bowe fight a smart fight. could bowe fight a smart fight?

.

 

I rate Bowe highly H2H but i am not sure this is so clear cut. Foremans jab would give Bowe some trouble , when Holyfield was using his jab Bowe looked some what uncomfortable. As much as Foremans cross guard would prove weak against Bowes combinations Bowes head movement would not be too great for avoiding Foremans uppercuts , especially if he moves into one which over 12 rounds could happen.

Bowe takes a UD because he will be much more active but Foreman will land some big shots and score with the jab.

 

Tough fight but I give Bowe the nod, I think George makes it the distance but Bowe has the points..

He lands more punches and busts George up but Foreman comes forward all night and has his moments but Bowe wins..

 

hahaha it is really comic. NOT EVEN IN DREAMS BOWE MIGHT STOP OLD FOREMAN WHO FACED HOLYFIELD. FOREMAN WAS STRONGER, HARDER PUNCHER AND HE HAD BETTER CHIN, AND MORE HEART,SIMPLE. IF BOWE FIGHT SMART , HE WOULD OUTBOX OLD FOREMAN AND HE WOULD WIN BY UD,IF HE EXCHANGE BLOWS WITH FOREMAN BOWE GETS KO, SIMPLE. I PICK PRIME BOWE BY UD AGAINST OLD FOREMAN, BUT IF SOME FIGHTER WOULD BE STOPPED THIS MAN WOULD BE BOWE. PRIME VS PRIME, FOREMAN BY KO IN 5.

 

What are you smoking......

He could not stop C level Stewart/ Saverese/Schultz or Tommy the Duke of Glass but he is going to stop Bowe , a guy who was never stopped even when he was washed up and has one razor close decision loss on his record........

Foreman would get battered from pillar to post and btw Stewart and Saverese DID SLUG IT OUT WITH HIM and your daddy got a gift in one and went life and death in the other.

But this is all academic, George would never ever take that fight, does not fit into his smoke and mirror behaviour during his comeback and if he would have a belt and Bowe would be his mandatory he would rather relinquesh the belt instead of fighting........but but but..........good ol' comeback Mr Con himself actually was stripped because he did not want to fight anybody legit......you are going to scream but Bowe ducked Lemmie but that was stupid Boxing politics not selective matchmaking with some help in form of fixing by that POS Arum.

 

It does amaze me that so many people pick old Foreman to beat Tyson at any time and Bowe, even after he got his ass kicked by everyone from Apollo Creed to Evander Holyfield. Dont get it.

 

what a bunch of nonsense, stewart and morrison ran during all the fight, stewart was down twice and obviously he lost the fight, morrison fought smart , he did outbox foreman and he won ,like a chicken but he won(chicken because he was a puncher not a stylist). but he ran like a scared *****. it is about styles, like i said, if bowe fight with brain, he would run and he would win by decision, if he exchanges blows with old foreman 91 he get tko or ko. anyway the version of george who fought cooney and evander was much better than the george who faced morrison. prime vs prime, foreman kills bowe, simple.
(and this glass chin morrison knocked bowe out in a sparring session). we are talking about the best old foreman 90.91, post 93 he was very fat,very old .

 

Old Foreman's life or death slugfest with Alex Stewart leads me to believe Tyson & Bowe would beat him up in brutal fashion.
