He had a great chin, but Foreman's was better.
Bowe would have beat the ass of young Foreman and old Foreman.
That's what's up.
Bowe was getting beaten from pillar to post by "ATG" Andrew Golota, until Golota stupidly got himself DQ'ed in both fights. By all rights he should have two more losses on his record. I've never been a Big Daddy fan, and I think with the talent he had, he was a huge underachiever... probably due to his extreme laziness.
Prime Foreman lays him out flat in less than 6 rounds.
(And I'm there enjoying every round).
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.
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.

Foreman owns bowe
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.
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.
