    A washed up Thomas took everything Bowe had to offer. How much trouble would Thomas at his best be for Riddick Bowe?

    People forget that Pinklon was actually a darn good boxer in his pomp. I think he could take it on points.

    Prime Pinklon had a hammer Jab it was like a strait right!! He beat a excellent version of Witherspoon and iced Mike Weaver with one right hand. His Peak years were short because he had serious drug addiction issues.

    He was in already in decline when he lost to Berbick, he was actually already sliding vs Weaver.

    Bowe vs Thomas

    Thomas had a great chin and great jab but wasn’t a big puncher really. Thomas would win some rounds by keeping Bowe away and honest with that hard jab, but as the fight wears on and I’ll assume Bowe will have worked the body enough and wore Pink down enough that the fight will be being fought on the inside. Bowe was great on the inside and he will take over late and either win a competitive decision or possibly stop Thomas. But if it’s not peak Bowe Thomas could get the decision

    I like Bowe but Thomas was tough and had a brief but nice run .. I 'm not sure when he went back on drugs since his big story at the time of his rise was that he quit drugs and what an achievement it was , ect .. maybe Klompton(2) will tell us .. ;)
