Can you imagine what Riddick Bowe would do to Joe Louis?

Anybody who really believes Joe Louis would make it out of a round with Riddick Bowe need to be submitted for drug testing.

"Text book technique" haha give me a break, old Freddie Roach must struggle hard to keep a straight face with that one!!

Even the fattest, laziest version of Riddick Bowe could have finished Louis early rounds.

Maybe I need drug testing then.
But that is just my opinion.
I would certainly like to see if I am wrong.

I'm a big fan/believer in prime, MOTIVATED Riddick Bowe. I think he would smash a lot of past and present greats.

Me too. Just not sure if Louis was one of them.

Oh jeez I'd have to go with Bowe.

Joe wasn't a great "boxer" (in the slickster sense), he was a great boxer/puncher. I just don't think Joe would have had the ability to keep Bowe at bay. He'd be going up against a guy with a longer reach, 30-40 functional pounds on him, superior fire power and a superior chin.

I just can't see Louis winning that fight. Different times, different weight catagories.

If it was just some palooka with 30lbs on him, sure. But Bowe was world class.

A few members of my family saw Louis. After talking to them think Louis would get the W. and if I get drug tested, I will fail.

Bowe isnt some wounded war veteran or part time bootlegger that Louis is used to fighting on a monthly basis.

Louis is seriously undersized, slow, has a lack of head movement, no mobility ,and he would be a sitting duck for Big daddy.

Bowe would abuse him plain and simple..

Its not the 30s no more.

Bowe would kill him with the jab, and I don't think Louis had the power to get Bowe out of there, or the chin to withstand Bowe's onslaught.
