    Better? Bowe.
    Harder? Klitschko.

    Bowe all around has a larger variety of punches, even though Wlad has a better jab, straight right, and left hook.

    Wlad rarely goes to the body and Wlad throwing uppercuts is rare.

    Bowe worked his uppercuts well and he could go to the body. It is very rare to see a fight where Bowe only throws two or three types of punches, he would general find a spot to throw all types of punches in a fight.

    Purrity is another, Wlad fights to his strengths now which is what you should do. Bowe couldn't put away Golota look what Lewis did I think Wlad would do the same.

    Punch for punch it's Wlad, harder and better single punches. Bowe is only a better combination puncher. Much better. Breaking down what single punches, I like Power's answer for that.

    Lewis rushed in and attacked Golota from the start - Wlad never fights like that.

    I posted in the poll without reading the thread(still havent) but can only assume its been hijaked by Klitschko nutthuggers.
    Big Daddy had every shot in the book, great jab, huge right hands and left hooks, and was the best big infighting heavweight of my lifetime. His uppercuts and body shots were beautiful.

    Wladimir Klitschko has a very good jab, strong right hand, and used to have a good left hook. He seldom throws either the right hand or the hook now.

    Bowe was better at everything than Wladmir.

    Wlad would knock out Golota like all his recent fights no way he lasts a full twelve.

    Golota before Lewis fight was a good fighter - I'm not sure it can happen so easy.

    I think Wlad takes the edge as the bigger puncher. His power is tier 1.

    As for better overall puncher?
    Well Bowe has a more varied attack and is far more fluid in his combinations; to that extent you I give Bowe the edge.

    I agreed that Bowe has a better repertoire, and has won against better
    competition. Yes Wlad has developed into a great fighter. Wlad has a great
    jab, right hand, and left hook. But who has Wlad finished that proves his power?
    )ike I said in the other post I take Manny Stewards word for it when he says
    Wlad is one of the hardest punchers ever. Single shot power extremely slight
    edge toWlad. Repertoire, fluidity, combos, in fighting advantage to Bowe.
    prime for prime Bowe KO 6

    My thoughts exactly. I think Wlad is more efficient at scoring stoppages, even if he's much less aggressive. With the exception of Sanders, everyone who ever got in the ring with Wlad got hurt, stunned, dropped or stopped.

    :oops: Missed that fight. I'm used to the straight right he throws almost exclusively. Haven't seen him throwing that hook since some of his early fights.
