Riddick Bowe by ten round stoppage. George Foreman would be tired, very tired by then.

Foreman pushes him back and hurts Bowe to the body before stopping Bowe in the mid-rounds.

Are we talking about Bowe vs Foreman of 1973?

In that case I'd favor Foreman by late TKO in a slugfest.

Bowe was faster and more sound technically. He could outbrawl Foreman and stop him.

The 70s version of George Foreman used to gas out by the 7th round. He had big stamina problems in a fast paced bout.

That version of Riddick Bowe, especially the one that took magnificently the heavyweight crown from the great Evander Holyfield kills Foreman.

After losing to Holyfield in the rematch, Bowe doesn't beat nobody as good or great. Nobody. .
