What if instead of Tyson fighting Ruddock, it had been Bowe instead? One of the great fights of the 90s or not all we'd hope for?
Bowe. tko6 in an entertaining bout. tough bout and Bowe gets badly hurt, but I sure do not like Ruddock's defense against guy's his size. Don't like his defense much against shorter opponents either. but he is right there for Bowe's offense. And Riddick throws 3x the volume Razor bothers to throw.
Interesting. I think Bowe was that bigger size to land and stop Ruddock in about 7 or 8 rounds. He didn't have the right Lennox had to land which was easier to land early. He would have had to set up the left hook and put his punches together, and deal with a little bit of nervous times, but he would stop stopped Ruddock.
At this point Bowe wasn't looping his right as much, which made it a thunderous terror of a shot. He also had a much better jab than Mike, and could have bullied Ruddock into any punching range he preferred. Ruddock would rock him with a left, but Bowe would probably just have gotten pissed off and stopped him in 3.
He was, but at the time he had a much better jab and infighting skill than Lewis. And a significantly better left hook.
Bowe by KO early. Had better offensive arsenal. Early on Bowe had that straight right that was as good as any in the history of the division. His jab and left hook was great as well.
