I know Bowe's infighting ability is overrated but damn, a Duran comparison??? Scary Duran by a mile from what I've gleaned with my eyes
Clearly Duran. Not many compare. Bowe got tagged way too much to even make this comparison. Even when he won.
Duran on the inside was great. Great instincts when in range. He even got some punches in on Hearns. He was smart and knew how to land. Ray found the blueprint.
Not to be a smart ### but is this a question you really need an answer to let alon ask? Just obvious IMO
If this was a post on who was the greatest infighter, Duran, Dempsey, even Denny Moyer,,,,,but Bowe? Really?
Bowe was more "inside slugger" than "inside fighter". He basically knew how to trade, rough you up, and land body shots and uppercuts in close range. Duran had a very methodical, strategic approach. Chaos vs controlled chaos.
In the post ,using his height and reach I'd say Bowe who was also a better rebounder. Uh, you were talking about basketball right?
I remember hanging out with both of them on a rainy day.... The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house All that cold, cold, wet day. I sat there with Riddick, We sat there, we two. And I said, “How I wish We had something to do. Too wet to go out And too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all. So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! And we did not like it. Not one little bit. And then Something went BUMP! How that bump made us jump! We looked! Then we saw him step in Through the door. Then Roberto punched Riddick who fell to the floor. And he said to me, “Why do you sit there like that?” “I know it is wet And the sun is not sunny. But we can have Lots of good fun that is funny!” Good times indeed, but Roberto clearly had the best of it inside that day!
Duran is in perfect range for those killer nut shots. It would be like the Golota fight only 10x worse as Duran had impeccable timing and better leverage with his short arms.
