    :patsch Do you even know who Bowe's trainer was?

    Bowe liked a tear-up & fighting off the front foot.

    If Golota battered him around, I think both Klit Bro's would have thier way against Bowe, too.

    :bbb

    Bowe was good, but not great. I'd pick both Klits over Bowe. He had a great chin so it possible he could last a UD with both, but probably be a TKO lose to either...

    It'd be a massacre with Bowe on the receiving end of a beatdown.

    Bowe had natural skills, a lot of them as a matter of fact. Vitali would not only beat him, but completely ****ing destroy him. Wladimir would likely beat him up en route to a late TKO or a decision.

    Yes Bowe liked a tear-up. A tall, big guy going into a toe-to-toe tear up with a shorter fighter means Bowe was smart? Or does that indicate he was a freaking idiot?

    A tall boxer always fights tall. He uses his advantages and takes away any chance for the smaller man to capitalize on his own.

    Bowe never understood this.

    All the Arguments against the Klitschkos vs past champions and contenders are based on their worst fight vs the past fighter's best fight. It's always "the Wladimir that fought Sanders vs the Bowe that beat Holyfield." What about "the Bowe that fought Golota vs the Wladimir that fought McCline??" Next time.:hey

    Looks like all three get criminally underrated by those with an agenda

    Wlad - right now.

    Vitali - he was in the best shape in over a decade in his last fight, so really hard to say.

    Bowe clearly beats both because he is Black and may have played some football and basketball.

    I do not see how anyone could come to any other logical conclusion.

    In his absolute prime he beats them both.

    Wlad doesn't have the Chin and Vitali lacks the skills, heart and skin.
