Riddick destroys him. Beats him unmercifully. Riddick was too fast and mobile and was just as big as George. Riddick had a one night prime, but I would pick him over any heavyweight had he fought them that night. Sucks Riddick was so lazy, the guy had everything necessary (except work ethic!) to be the greatest ever.
I'll be in the minority here but I'll say Big George. Riddick was a bit of a pussy in my eyes, hence why he avoided so many top Heavyweights in his era.

Bowe could be rocked but few could follow up, Coetzer managed it, this was Bowes window if he ever had one and I think he chews George up fighting behind fast jab.
Riddick would have beat his ass. Too good on the outside, too good on the inside.
Yea Bowe easily on his best night, which is what you have to assume you are talking with fights that didn't actually happen, imo.
A pussy? So you're saying you didn't watch him, got it. Dude was lazy as they come, and dumb. But he damn sure wasn't a pussy.Quote:

He looked great in that first Evander fight but after that I think he was matched carefully and manufactured.Quote:

Foreman, just because Bowe never fought anyone with that kind of power.
Yeah but does one move define a career? In that case Roberto Duran a cowardly quitting pussy for bitching out vs Leonard.Quote:

Whop whop whop, a couple of poorly-landed, glancing shots to the ribs or collarbone or breastbone, a telephone pole jab or 2 or 3 to the bridge of the nose......
Bitches start looking for the exit by round 3.
George foreman would blow away riddick bowe in 5 rounds. And thats 42 years old
if we wanna talk about 1973 george foreman,,,,,, hahahahhaaaaa riddick bowe would wake up in a coma and come out of a coma into a deep sleep, round 2.
Manny fought everyone you'd want him to. Bowe didn't. For me, his record is littered with gaps he should have filled. You could say it was his management, but he picked his team. His legacy can't be approved over what he might have done. Maybe pussy is too strong a word because he gave his all in fights, but I think he wimped out of the big fights and I question the reason for that.Quote:

The best Bowe beats the best Foreman but overall, Foreman of the 70s beats Bowe more times than not.
Bowe if he trained right, but Foreman's long arms and power would always have him in the fight and give him a chance, Bowe literally would have to be in the shape that he was in for the first Holyfield fight and not look like a Buster Douglas clone
