    The guy that beat Evander in their first fight was a complete fighter. That Bowe just seems to have too many options for George. To explain my way of thinking:
    1. Frazier: ATG who George destroyed, but a short, squat guy who bobbed and weaved forward and relied on his left. George was MUCH larger and able to manhandle him and push him back where he needed.
    2. Norton: Good fighter who was pretty big, but seemed to freeze in fights vs guys with big punches (Foreman, Cooney).
    3: Ali/Jimmy Young: Ali was past his best but both were good boxers with sharp jabs who were able to frustrate George and tire him out for the win. That George wanted to walk guys down while winging HUGE shots that exhausted him.

    Now, prime Bowe had a good chin, great jab and was a very good boxer. He could be lured into slugging at times, but George was such a beast that Bowe would have remained wary all night and stuck to the plan. Not because Bowe was disciplined, but because Foreman was so menacing. Much like the Young fight, I see Bowe using lateral movement and his jab to frustrate George. Bowe gets rocked a couple of times and survives some shaky moments early. Once Foreman tires I see Bowe stepping it up and putting the right hand in regularly. Bowe takes over late for the win in a good fight.

    George fights walking ahead in a straight line he pushes his classic way to get space

    He pivots his opponents for space

    He throws wide uppercuts and hooks he repeats the same push patterns and pivots this is his style as I'm watching
    It's very basic really basic this is his style he is very slow on top of being sloppy and easy to read

    George's relentless pressure is what allowed him to land shots but those wide shots had to be repeated cause he was so easy to read and slow

    It's very easy to see these guys would be destroyed in the 90s

    To say George wins is odd he never even fought guys as advanced as guys bowe fought

    Now that is something we can agree on Joe Smith. Good to know you have read the threads and got a informed opinion.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Nothing I said is an opinion so why did you say that?, he fought like that in matches, I don't need you or anybody else to agree with anything I say i can see advances between era's, I said this before and showed this with liston/louis they look horrible and the people they fought my videos show that
