Riddick Bowe vs these power-punchers

Dempsey Dempsey's handspeed and head movement give him problems early. If he can fight the perfect fight using lateral movement and getting in and out, he might beta Bowe. Its also possible Bowe bullies him by smothering, leaning, and trading up close to maul him into a stoppage. Very chaotic matchup.

Baer Bowe stops him very late in a grueling ugly war. Both men would have completely shut eyes, busted lips, etc. Potentially career ending.

Louis I'm afraid that Bowe would be too much of a wide open target for the sizzling combinations of Louis. Louis stops Bowe late but probably has to get off the floor to do it.

Marciano Bowe by KO in 5.

Liston 50/50 fight

Frazier Bowe by decision.

Foreman Bowe barely loses to the 70's version, wins a decision over the 90's version.

Lyle Bowe by KO within 6-8. A sensational war at ring center.

Shavers Bowe by KO within 5 but is badly hurt and/or dropped.

Cooney Bowe splatters Cooney within 3.

Tyson 80's Tyson probably beats him in a very intense phone booth brawl that might go the distance. Bowe KOs the 90's version.

Bruno Believe it or not, Bruno could take this. He was more disciplined than Bowe, slightly better fundamentals, was more cautious, and hit just as hard if not harder. If it's a boxing match, I expect Bruno to win or even stop Bowe late.

Smith Bowe take a decision in a sloppy brawl that resembles two uncoordinated bears slamming into each other.

Ruddock this one's tricky because Bowe might be open for the smash the way he stood, but if he can weather the storm he wins.

Lewis haven't decided on how this one goes. Very hard to predict and needs it's own thread.

Mercer I would actually say Mercer if both are at their best.

Morrison Bowe KO within 5 but not before being heavily damaged and/or dropped.

McCall Bowe UD.

Tua Bowe split decision, very rough fight.

Rahman Bowe by KO within 8.

Ike 50/50 fight

Briggs Bowe stops a completely gassed Briggs late

Wlad I think Wlad could stop Bowe late with a lenient ref. If Bowe can't outjab Wlad, he's going to be in serious trouble.

Vitali could go either way.

Sanders Bowe by KO within 4.

Brewster Bowe UD

Peter Bowe UD

Povetkin Bowe KO within 9, competitive fight

AJ I would say AJ takes the decision. It's a close matchup, but AJ has more tools, jabs more, and his uppercut would give Bowe nightmares.

Wilder Very, very dangerous fight for Bowe. If he survives the early onslaught, I'd say Bowe by KO within 7.

 

Loses to Foreman, Frazier, Liston, Louis and Tyson. I'd favor him over everyone else. Wilder would be interesting.

 

I think he can beat at least half to two thirds of those guys while taking large number of the remainder the distance. Bowe’s prime was short but meaningful

 

A great fight indeed but painful for Bowe.

 

Is that the result of 6400 posts ? Yeah.....

Louis never met a fighter like Bowe..........and Bowe was never stopped by a old washed up Cruiser.

Mercer never won a meaningful fight in his life besides Tommy Chin, fact, every real step up he lost or lost to cannon fodder.

WK was walked down by palookas Purrity and Brewster......blitzed by a flash in the pan golfer.....Bowe would take the fight to him and it would be over quick.

VK stepped up twice and lost twice................insert Bowe instead of VK vs old Lewis and Lemmie is getting starched

Fatman Peter aint seeing the distance.

Neither does the Russian Hype job Povetkin.

Open as a barn door telegraph artist Baer would get a worse beating that Louis gave him.

But the cake is the Bodybuilder who spit his mouth piece out and quit against a morbid obese Taco stand owner who is not even a big puncher..............and got clowned by a featherfisted cruiser................AJ would crumble like a house of cards with the first meaningful punch Bowe would land.

Old Foreman would never get near prime Bowe because he knew he would take a monster shell lacking.

Bruno ? LOL, he aint got a prayer.........Bowe is levels above Excuse21 Witherspoon or Bonehugger..........oh wait , Bruno lost against those two ABC one or two hit wonders...

Riddick had a very short prime but when on he fought three minutes a round, iron chin, probably the best Big infighter ever, could fight at range , could mix it up and the only man who beat Evander Holyfield like a red headed Step child including one face down and out..........something Lewis could not do in 24.

Another gem............stops gate keeper Briggs late...........Briggs will be lucky to see the 4th...

 

When did Bowe ever show he was less then durable? That cruiser I forget the name of could crack hellishly from all accounts, Tubbs wasn’t a big one but he could swat, Evander had enough pop to stun a lot of big guys and he landed a fair few big ones that Riddick shook off.

Let’s not forget Golota was a massive, strong guy and a fair puncher whom was wailing on a completely finished and obese Riddick. I honestly think Andy lost morale when he saw Bowe wasn’t going anywhere.

Bowe never showed he was less then sturdy, hearty and eager. We never even saw the limit of his chin but he did get stunned and hurt a bit.

I couldn’t tell you how it’d go properly. but let’s say his whiskers held up. I think he’d beat up on the guys like Foreman, Mercer and Lyle. I reckon Riddick is pretty much better in every aspect from a technical stand point, well in a way that matters in this undeniably close quarters scenario.

 

Not to be a *******, but some of those are cartoonishly bad predications on his part.

 

You've been here longer than me and none of your posts are remotely interesting or insightful. You've been schooled multiple times and then you disappear, then come back for more. Is it masochism combined with a complete lack of self awareness? Just seeking attention? All of the above? Either way you are not even worth responding to.

 

Not as cartoonishly bad as derailing a thread like a chick and then running when called out. Are you bipolar? One minute you want to squash the beef and act like we're cool, the next minute you're talking trash again. You're the fakest poster on this entire site.

 

I just don't agree with you about a lot in boxing, I'm not pretending with anything there isn't a "Beef" can that even exist on a forum? lol. If so it's probably mentally harmful for you to think that, no offence it's silly. Glass you don't seem like a dislikeable person but I don't care for your boxing insights, I've made that very clear and vice versa and it really doesn't matter. What bothers me is "Like a chick" what are trying to say about women?

About "calling me out" if you're referring to the Smith thread, I honestly shouldn't have said anything that's why I made a thread for people to read, I just spin my wheels on the whole Foreman stuff. it was just a face palm moment. You do need to chill though.

Pre 1994, Bowe beats Lewis
After 1994, Bowe loses to Lewis.

 

How could Frazier ever beat Bowe, when Bowe is one of the best inside fighters and that would negate Frazier's strength ?!?
It's like fighting fire with fire, but the thing is Frazier is the little fire, while Bowe is the huge fire.

 

Nah I think you need to chill this has nothing to do with you having a disagreement with me in boxing. Plenty of people have disagreed with me and it didn't blow up into anything.

I'm referring to your 2 faced behavior, I thought I made that very clear. Nobody has time for people trying to act cool with someone and then either openly talking trash or sneak dissing. Then you "apologize" for acting like an ass and then go right back to the same behavior. Grow up or I'll just save us both the trouble and block you. And yes, you do act like a chick sometimes. Contrary to popular belief, many of them do have behaviors and mannerisms they have in common just like men have things in common. If that's offensive then you probably need to actually interact with people more and stop buying into media narratives.

 

Apart from Holyfield we have no other big names (we don’t have ATG names) as a parameter to check the actual quality of Bowe.

On the other hand we have the fights of Bowe vs Golota, which Bowe lost by points, but won both times by disqualification.

So I don’t think Bowe would be overly superior in the fights with the boxers on this list, but I think he would win more than 50% of all those fights.

 

Bowe was wide open for Frazier's body assault, and Frazier was quick enough to duck under Bowes punches and fire right back. Unless Bowe manages to stop Frazier by the 6th, he's going to be in for a very rough night. Challenging Frazier to an inside fight wouldn't be the best strategy, Bowe should use his jab and uppercuts but that wouldn't be easy to do because Frazier could slip past the jabs of boxers much faster than Bowe.
