    I've always found this one intriguing.


    The quick and dirty answer is: Foreman Early - Bowe Late.

    Bowe has the size and style (and power) to give Foreman pure hell, but Foreman has the raw power to hurt and finish Bowe.

    My only question iis: Can Bowe survive the first 5 rounds? If he does...he stops Foreman no question.

    I'll meet you in the middle.... Foreman, mid rounds. Bowe was too tough to get stopped as quickly as Norton, yet too hittable to last late.

    Foreman TKO 7

    Bowe has a helluva chin but you cannot just take that many clean bombs from Foreman and last 15 rounds. It's competitive, though.

    Everyone always says that Bowe had a solid chin. I don't get it. When did he prove this?

    Ummm...throughout his entire career.

    You do know there's an difference between a solid chin and excellent chin, right? Bowe did have a SOLID chin.

    But do I think it was good enough to stand-up to the firepower of Foreman, Tyson, and Lewis? No.
