Witherspoon matches Bowe in the pocket with his head movement, eventually detonates that overhand right through Bowes poor defence and floors Riddick before taking over the fight as Bowe tries to pull it back. Witherspoon SD.
Possibly yes Bowe had issues vs fighters with good jabs and Witherspoon has a better defence than Bowe on the inside with his cross arm defence. Witherspoon is a bit bigger than Holyfield and I don't think Bowe would be able to bully Witherspoon on the inside. I think quite alot of the 80s Heavyweights at their peak could give Bowe problems.
At his very best maybe. But Bowe had a great chin. I'd actually say he'd have a better chance against Lewis.
If we were to take the Bowe of the first Holyfield fight in 1992 vs Witherspoon who gave Holmes fits in 1983 it would be a very close and competitive match. I’m inclined to favoring Riddick Bowe but it would be close
Absolutely. The cause and effect though would be huge..........Bowe was worn out early. Real early. Another toe to toe battle see's him washed up like 2 years earlier. He'd be in Leon Spinks category as far as deterioration is concerned.
