1993 Bowe vs 1967 Ali

[Primo Carnera]

I'm sorry I don't understand the meaning of that response

The meaning is that IMHO and I'm sure you disagree, Ali/Clay whatever would totally outclass Bowe. Yes , there is always a size difference comparing between the ages, but that aside, Bowe, decent fighter as he was, wasn't in the same league.😄

No in fact I don't disagree. I think Allie would have had an easier time with bowe than he did with George Foreman

I was thinking the same. Like I said before, the only differential that has an impact between eras is his size.
Funnily enough its why I think it would be easier than Foreman. Bowe was quicker than Foreman and would go chasing Ali down. This means Ali wouldn't have to wait for him to tire and Bowe would be easy to find.

You mean boweh would not Chase ali down right? Because Foreman was the one chasing ali the down. Bowe didn't really chase people he sort of plodded about I think he would try to land that huge overhand right but alie did not get hit with many rights. The left hook was the tough one and I don't remember boee having a really long left hookt I do remember he have some nice short left hooks inside though

No what I meant was I believe Bowe had a bit more movement and was a tad quicker than Foreman, who although he went after Ali , he kind of plodded towards him, he didn't/couldn't really chase Ali down.

Yeah I agree that Riddick Bowe was deceptively quick. He would not be able to use his very successful inside game on Muhammad because Allie would not lay on his chest like Holyfield did. But would have to fight from the outside and I don't know anybody who can beat Alie from the outside in 1967

Bowe would give Ali nightmares in the ring his reach and size not mention how fast he was for his size nothing like that in the 1967. Ali would a have the same problems with Lewis but even worse Norton all over again pretty much. Ali in most of his fights was the taller man with longer reach take that away he still has speed on his side but it will make him look a lot more human. I not going to say who wins but it be ugly fight and would not be very exciting i feel the style clash makes it unwatchable.
