Riddick Bowe vs. Corrie Sanders

An almost sure win for Bowe with a remote "puncher's chance" for Sanders.

 

Riddick Bowe beats Sanders. I'm not even so sure if I'd give Corrie a punchers chance. He simply did not have the stamina needed to go rounds against Riddick, and the likelyhood of him getting Bowe out of there within the opening minutes is remote to none. Corrie had a lot of handspeed, good power and a southpaw style, which would have been enough against a lot of good heavyweights, but he'd need a bit more to beat Big Daddy.

 

I think a prime Bowe has a chance to beat anyone. (I'm not saying that he difently would) I think Sanders caught Wald on the right nite.
Bowe would win this match up.

 

Bowe TKO 6

 

Fun fight!

I think Bowe walks through tremendous punishment in the early rounds, and perhaps even gets dropped once or twice. Sanders is a capable finisher but Bowe is a tough guy to take out early. I have little doubt that Big Daddy weathers the storm, comes on strong, and finds a gassed Sanders in the mid rounds with his big right to force the stoppage. Probably like Rahman/Sanders or Bowe/Golota minus the ball busting.

Bowe In peak form Sanders has absolutely zero chance

 

I like Sanders but hes been overrated a little, a natural fighter but his fundamentals weren't that great, Bowe by stoppage but Id love it if Sanders smashed him and Id give him a fair punchers chance

 

Sanders has a puncher's chance. That's it. Bowe is superior. Now, the best version of Sanders against say the Bowe of Golota II...might be interesting. I'm not putting Sanders down. If he had been intensely serious about boxing all his life, he may have had a very different career because he had good tools to work with. But he's got one win over a great heavyweight fighter with a vulnerable chin and it wasn't a decision win either.

 

That sounds about right that if Bowe got dropped or punished a bit, he'd still hang tough. Like Bowe or not I've seen this dude fight on rubbery legs for several rounds while still dishing out educated shots.

 

Even though I would probably go with Riddick, both Chris Pontius and Fist of Fury have some valid points... Sanders was not always the unmotivated, deconditioned man in his late 30's that we saw against Vitali Klitschko, and Bowe rarely if ever, faced a large south paw with fast hands and above average power.. Had he tried to over power Sanders at close range with a bit too much haste, he might have been met with a nasty surprise.... On the other hand, he did have a solid chin along with good power and size himself... He also had a well developed infighting game, and had gone the 12 round distance on a few occasions......

I make no convictions on this, but I would probably have to favor Bowe by a mid to late round stoppage... However, I wouldn't be surprised to see Riddick staggering around the ring at some point, and should he take Sanders too lightly, might end up with the only KO loss of his career....

 

Herbie Hide nailed Bowe and shook him up, and Sanders is bigger than Hide and probably a little more powerful and just as fast. It would be a tricky fight for the first few rounds. Bowe was obviously the more talented and accomplished fighter, but as the poster above stated, I'd make Sanders a very live underdog. If the fight went past the middle rounds, I think Bowe steamrolls him...But you never know.

 

This is how I see it. If Bowe is in shape and focused, I'll go with him.

 

It would b a tuff fight if Sanders is in shape. He's a lot more mobile then Bowe not 2 mention faster. But if an out of shape Sanders doesn't get him out of there early bowe 4 sure. The reason Sanders didn't always go the distance cause he usually ended his fights early.

 

Bowe would win this one, he could fight harder longer then Sanders.. Sanders is very dangerous as he is a big puncher, but Sanders would not be able to handle the pace of the fight, even if he hurt Bowe early I see Riddick surviving it and taking Corrie out in around the 7th or 8th round..

 

Agreed, I find the very premise that Sanders could win is ludicrous.

Bowe TKO5.
