    I think Bowe on a wide points win maybe even dropping Trevor along the way. Do you agree?

    Bowe to busy for Trev, can see him banging out a point win.

    I think I might favour Bowe in this. He's more proven at a higher level.

    Bowe by Decision or stoppage in the later rounds.

    Bowe stoppage. A mismatch.

    Berbick will be walking and wading in. The way he always does & right there to be hit. And Trevor is no hitter but he will trade punches. I also think the way Berbick predictably comes inside without jabbing or anything is wide open for uppercuts. Not a good punch to walk into and I think Bowe would be throwing a million against this guy.

    Don't see Trevor winning maybe 1 round before he gets stopped.

    I wouldn’t rule Berbick out entirely.

    He beat Page, Thomas, Tate, Mitch Green, Muhammad Ali and David Bey in fights he was not supposed to win.

    How many fights did Bowe win that he was not supposed to win?

    If Bowe was ever going to flunk a fight, Berbick was certainly the man to make him flunk it.

    Page, Thomas and Tate were regarded very highly at that time.

    Weren’t they fighters that at points in their careers, Holmes was supposed to have wanted to avoid fighting?
