15/175, who wins, the Frazier of FOTC vs the Bowe of Holyfield l?

Riddick Bowe would win most of the time. Too big and strong. But, Joe Frazier will give him a fight that he would never forget.

Two inside fighters with great output and engines. Frazier wouldn't be frustrated by Bowe's size advantage. It may seem, that Bowe had a better chin, but if Holyfield and Golota could drop him, than the superior puncher Frazier could hurt Bowe even more. It's not easy to predict, but I see Frazier winning close in a good battle.

Bowe could most certainly hurt and drop Frazier as well. Both at their best I think Bowe would win the fight most of the time. He had a terrific uppercut, and we all saw what a number Foreman did on Frazier with his uppercut.

Now Bowe doesn't quite pack the power of a George Foreman, but I would imagine it's not too terribly far off.

If Bowe turns up in shape and ready to fight, I think he could get Frazier out of there late.

I know he was excellent on the inside, but I don't think Bowe has the lateral movement to stay away from Joe's bombs. Joe might go down, but he'd put Bowe into his shell with bombs to head and body. Frazier for me.

Similar to Bowe-Cooper but would probably last a couple rds more.

Id rank holyfield better than frazier in the world of hypotheticals and bowe beat him

Have to think bowe gets it done against frazier
