George Foreman vs. Riddick Bowe... who would've won?

[tysonesque]

I think Foreman is highly rated by people on here because he is a genuine legendary figure in the sport. His comeback to win the title actually ranks right up there with anything Muhammad Ali achieved.

It is very true to say that Old George was very cumbersome and lumbered around the ring. He cleverly tended to stick with smaller opponents he could bully and whondidntbhave the speed or skills to pop around him and win wide decisions (even that renowned technician and slickster Tommy Morrison managed this).

What he NEVER lost was his underrated ring intelligence, great great chin and crushing clubbing Kayo power..

Young George was a bona fide monster. Much more of a scary proposition than anyone really remembers.

It might be my rose tinted specs, but I think that Young George obliterates Riddick Bowe.

Riddick was never the sharpest tool in the box, and while I think he SHOULD widely outbox and punish Old George, I suspect he might be drawn into a war and Foreman would have made him quit or look for a way out by DQ

Sure, he was good in his day, but he was nothing special when he came back in the 90s, and would have been battered if he'd fought anyone nearly as good and big as Bowe. The person who started this thread asked about a fight between the two in the 90s and no way is Foreman winning that. First we get a thread about him fighting Tyson in the 90s and now this one. Tyson and Bowe would have taken him apart in the 90s.

Even young Foreman was put on his arse by a lesser fighter than Bowe and Tyson.
