    What makes you say that? Bowe never utilized his height and always was drawn into wars. Holyfield was half the puncher that Dempsey was and look how much success he had. Dempsey was faster and would have had an easier time getting on the inside imo. Dempsey's body punches were brutal and much worse than anything Bowe has taken in his entire career.

    Dempsey KO 4

    Bowe would do an Herbie Hide job on Dempsey, or even worse. Bowe KO 4-5. Please put that Cruiser in the ring with other Cruisers or Amateur Giants instead of littering the Classics.

    The evidence says that you must go with Bowe here. He beat fighters who were far closer in mold and talent of Dempsey than vice versa. It really isn't a question in regards to this fact.

    First of all it is highly debatable. And even if it was foreman had by far the better chin so it was not a problem for him. A young foreman rapes bowe like a tall prostitue against the ropes.if holyfield could drope bowe wait for the result when george puts a glove on him.
    By the way foreman has nothing to do with this thread.get a job

    Foreman got dropped by one of the most feather fisted heavyweight contenders - Jimmy Young.
    What a chin huh?

    Foreman was only 217 lbs when he won the title, Bowe was 235 lbs... bigger with better stamina.
    Way better technique.
    Bowe knocks him the F out
