    He knocks out Wlad brutally. I'm not sure about Vit, Vit's punch variety is lacking, but hey, straight punches are always good if you can land them consistently. I don't know, tough fight.

    Come on. Riddick Bowe is my favorite fighter of all time but you and I both know the Klitschkos are in the gym every ****ing day. Riddick Bowe couldn't close the refrigerator door long enough to knock them out. That's not mention that Riddick was "in his prime" for ONE FIGHT.

    Most poignant comment on the entire thread, maybe. And I give it the standard forum +1.

    Bowe beats both, Wlad by ko, Vitali by tko on cuts. Bowe had a great jab
    And was faster than both therby winning most exchanges. Bowe
    had a solid chin and the punch repertoire and fluidity to outclass
    Wladimir. Against Vitali probably turns into a great slugfest with
    Bowe getting the better of the exchanges and stopping Vitali on cuts

    I believe he would have KO Wlad and had a drag out war with Vitali which I would go 50/50.

    Will do. :lol:

    That worked out very well for Camacho against Chavez, Charles VS Marciano, Pacquiao VS Marquez, Khan VS Peterson and Hasegawa VS Gonzalez. The math can't be f*cked with on predictability.

    Wow, someone said Bowe was slow in his prime. He was actually fast, but of course Holyfield was faster. He threw many combinations and was a great finisher. I feel strongly he would be too much for Wlad even with Steward in his corner.

    Question.
    So if Bowe was being beaten or at the very least being given a war by Golota does that mean that Golota beats both bro's as easy?
    Proving his glass brain doesn't shatter of course.

    You should know better than ask a question on a Klitschko thread! This is the place were people actually think 6'0" 178lb Bob Foster of the 70's would annihilate Wladimir...:patsch
    BTW, both Wladimir and Vitali could clean out the 90's HW division in about week...:good

    That would have been a great fight to watch, with both of them landing some real tasty power shots.

    Quite quick with his hands at least, not with his feet (or footwork).

    Surprised with the poll results, a prime Bowe beats both brothers based on his far superior inside game, his size and strength would bully the **** out of Wlad to a stoppage. Vitali would be a closer and great fight though
