    Come one come all. Send in your smaller man to beat prime Bowe.

    While I think he would lose, I think Jersey Joe Walcott would befuddle Bowe until Bowe stopped him late.

    But could Holyfield have pulled it off weighing 190 pounds?

    I don't see it. Qawi would be right in Bowe's killing field.

    Probably not given he went from 205 to 217 between his loss and win. Bowe added 11 pounds but where as Holyfield's were handy Bowe's were quite the opposite as he looked sluggish in the middle rounds.

    Joe Louis weighed a smidge under 200 during his incredible demolition of Max Schmeling so he'd be among the best choices. One also wonders how Usyk might go same day weigh in as he often ended up 206 so even same day he re-hydrate a bit. Of course he's hardly overly proven just yet but he'd be interesting.

    No man under 200 lbs beat a prime, properly prepared Bowe.
