Yeah but I think the thread title was "prime Bowe vs Prime Foreman".
I mean if you want to play that game, Foreman got completely clowned by "ATG" Jimmy Young.
Other than Ali, George never fought anyone with the style or as good as Bowe was.
Ken Norton wasnt as good as Bowe? Bowe had 3 good fights (all with the smaller Holyfield).
Norton had a stellar career comapred to that.
Foreman blew away Norton and ATG Frazier. Jimmy Young fight was already when Foreman was mentally finished and he thought he was jesus and retired for 10 years.
Re: Prime Bowe VS Prime Foreman who wins and how?
Since when is it inadmissible to bring up performances against other fighters?
Bowe got not one, but two cracks at Golota. And failed miserably in each one.
It can be argued that Foreman would've made some adjustments a second time around against Young.
Bowe gets no sympathy from me.
He has a lot of fans in the forum, but funny how his name never comes up when discussing the top 10-15 all time heavyweights.
Re: Prime Bowe VS Prime Foreman who wins and how?
I think Foreman gets him out. Bowe wasn't hard to hit, and obviously his mind wandered. If your being buzzed by Hide and a dazed Holyfield, it may not be pretty but Foreman gets you stoned.

When you're talking prime vs prime, it's generally inadmissible to bring up non-prime fights.
That's what's up.
Riddick has the IQ of greek yogurt, but even he knows that's what's up.

Ken Norton had a great jab and could always do well vs slicksters but he couldn't handle power punchers. Bowe handled every style they threw in front of him.
It can be argued that Bowe never fought a good centipede style, but you can only fight what's in your division so we can't hold that against Bowe.

It's is especially admissible to bring up other fights when talking prime vs. prime.
The fact that Bowe showed the IQ of greek yogurt in and out of the ring is a totally relevant fact when discussing his possibilities against all time heavyweight greats...... a group completely exclusive of one Riddick Lamont Bowe.
BTW.... I just had to post that picture again.

Bowe ducking Lewis and throwing his belt in the trash was the most cowardly act I can remember.

Yeah but Lewis did the same thing twice when they tried to make him Chris Byrd and then John Ruiz.
At least Bowe ducked Lewis... Lewis ducked Ruiz hahaha
Bo(we) knows that, why don't you??

Re: Prime Bowe VS Prime Foreman who wins and how?
Comparing Bo Jackson, one of the greatest athletes in the history of American sports, to Riddick "Greek Yogurt" Bowe, one of the biggest underachievers in the history of American heavyweight boxing, is an insult to the great Bo Jackson.
..... and Bo knows that.
Re: Prime Bowe VS Prime Foreman who wins and how?
On a side note, Bowe was in fact smarter than Greek yogurt. He avoided Lewis ;D

In the ring, Bowe was a rocket scientist. The part of his brain that told him when to throw a jab or smash someone in the mouth with an uppercut was firing on all cylinders. It was the rest of his brain - the parts that advise against kidnapping children - those where the missing pieces of the puzzle.

"Rocket scientist", is it?
I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that were a rocket scientist to experience an explosion upon the launch of a particular rocket..... he'd go back to the lab and figure out what went wrong, so he could avoid a 2nd catastrophe.
Greek Yogurt got strafed by Golota in their first fight..... so naturally he went out for their 2nd fight with exactly the same plan. Forgive me, but I fail to see the resemblance.
Bowe fans are a nostalgic bunch. The "what coulda beens" must be endless.
Too bad the lazy underachiever never reached the heights dreamed by his fans.
He was ranked 21st all time a few years ago, and the list didn't even include Wlad at the time.
If I was in the 22-25 bunch, I'd be pissed.
