    Bowes biggest fight involved him doing bad Ali impressions sitting on the stool between rounds.

    He knew who dad was . Really Ali would leave him in lurches and avoid the inside uppercuts from hell. I don't see Bowes jab as huge factor as 67' Ali simply would not be there. Sure sure, he'd be outsized and Bowe would look to bulldoze but that benefits Ali all the more. Bowes lumbering feet of 93' would betray him. Bowe didn't face much hand speed over all. Holyfield, Tubbs (didn't win that either) and Hide aside, Ali was on another planet.

    Bowe did have that jab, he also had the height and weight with a remarkable chin. Ali would have to work out how to beat those qualities.

    Bowe took many heavy skull shots and wasn't ever KOed. Ali would NOT ko Bowe. You're right about his chin. Nor did he cut. Ali's toughest night 'twould be

    Bowe for all his toughness has suffered the same fate as Ali had his brain scrambled by taking to many
    head punches, Ali on points 15 rounds.

    Ali would go the same way Herbie Hide did.

    Passing this along from @Bill Paxtom

    July 9, 1970 ~arena somewhere near Cleveland, Ohio;

    Riddick Bowe: "In Round 3, Ali hit me with a straight right hand that 'pissed' me ~off~…… I decided Bid Daddy had to start throwing some Bensonhurst Brooklyn Bombs."

    Muhammad Ali: "Bowe is an ugly Seagull. The only way I lose to an ugly Seagull is if the Seagull comes in prepared and ready, and I don't really train good."

    Bowe: "Well this Seagull is ready to ~tan~ your 'hide'".

    Do we forget how easily Bowe was there to be hit Sure outside of Hide, Holyfield, Martin, Coetzer, Golota or a Lane he was rarely shook and/or rocked but ffs...Bowe often worked for a guy to fall into his wheel house. He wasn't beyond becoming flustered, out jabbed and out quicked.

    Hide hurt Bowe so Ali could too.

    Hide had pop but prior to even Bentt he was beating up a who's who of retread journeymen and off longest time out of the ring going into Bowe. Oh and..he was Hide not Ali

    You don't hammer a nail with one blow, and just reoccurs to me how Bowe was hit clean by some much lesser opposition.

    Ali and Hide power are not even close to the same Ali was wear you done out box you type of guy. Also he had a lot of stoppages on cuts which Bowe did not really get cut that often in his career. I think it be a close fight Bowe was something not seen in 60's he was giant with a lot of skill and motor.

    Riddick Bowe as I mentioned in another thread loses his concentration during matches He has speed but sacrifices it by being too close to his opponents whereas Ali slides out and back to ring center where he was superior. The one thing that bothered me about Bowe was that he lapses into a lazy phase during a fight and actually stays there for a while to catch a breather. Ali was razor sharp puncher in his youth and his eyes like those of Ray Leonard were wide open. Both men were alert but Bowe wa a part time worker in that department. No less than a UD for Ali.

    Ali V Bowe 1967 pretty much goes the same way as he handled the bigger Ernie Terrell! Ali by easy UD decision.
