    Bowe says Walcott would be a tough fight and that Walcott may be ahead on the cards but he stops Walcott late. I can actually see that scenario. Remember, Walcott wasn't much smaller than 1992 Holyfield.

    I could see Bowe under-performing with an opponent like this. Walcott would be worth a bet at good enough odds, but Bowe should get it done. He’s got the power, & his inside game is going to be a problem all fight long.

    Still, he could be out-thought. Walcott a live dog.

    Agree. Can also see Bowe be wobbled with sneaky counter rights. But ultimately, if Bowe is on point, I see him stopping Walcott.

    So @Seamus you can add another one to the “journeyman’s” list of admirers… Bowe, McGirt, Briggs, Toney, Bill Miller, M Tyson and Ali… who were the writers again?

    Jersey Joe could make quite a few struggle.
    He was the master of old school HOW DID HE DO THAT???

    In a best of 7 series, this could go 4-3, or even 3-3-1. I slightly favor Riddick Bowe, but I am not at all positive. (If they actually fought, and Walcott won, I would deny, on some sort of technical gibberish, that I ever picked Bowe. I would give voice to a word-salad denial that would even impress you-know-who!)

    There was a character called Ferbus on Masked Rider. I think of that character everytime I see your name
