Foreman-Bowe

Who would have won between prime George Foreman & prime Riddick Bowe?
How about older 90's Foreman vs Bowe?
This would be a battle of two beasts. Both solid mean dudes, who could really pack a punch.
I would pick Riddick Bowe to beat both versions of Foreman, KOing the younger Foreman & grinding out a clear UD against the older version too.

Prime Foreman would make it a fight, Bowe will except the fight and win it. Bowe was faster, bigger, better inside and could take punch. With all possible intensity of this matchup I don't see it going to the final bell. Bowe by the stoppage around the 8th.
The old and more reserved version of Foreman could indeed hear the final bell with a bigger probability. Bowe would outbox the old man comfortably.

Prime Bowe could be caught. So for that reason, I am saying prime George in 5 rounds by knockout.

Bowe had good power. Foreman had freakish power. Both could be hit. I'd go with prime Foreman, by mid round stoppage. 90's Foreman wins a decision. (Again, because of his freakish power, he hurts Bowe often enough to get the nod, in my opiniion.)

In Bowe's Prime he beats any version of George.....
But this is not the story here.
Bowes Prime was 45 minutes long. So if the fight happens then...he wins.
Foreman was good for decades......so whether it's the early version or the seasoned version....Georges chances are very very good. The clock was not kind to Bowe......and more than likely George Cleans that clock for him. Oh....and Bowe's ability to speak clearly will be an even greater issue in the wake of such a confrontation.
