    Picking Bowe to be successful, at world level, over a number of years, is always going to be a leap of faith!

    The best version of Bowe beats them all with Tunney the only one being competitive at all.

    Of course. Bowe would most likely beat him, but Firpo was extremely durable and was a hard puncher. If Eddie Gonzalez and a fat Tony Tubbs can go the distance with Bowe Firpo certainly could. Bowe even in his prime had a bad habit of taking rounds off, which ended up making his fights harder than they should’ve been.

    Tunney might pull off a split decision and firpo has a punches chance. Neither should be favored if its prime bowe tho. Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure he sweeps the rest.

    With what assets would Firpo bother Bowe?

    That would be an epic mismatch.
