    Du you understand the reasons to why both Wlad and Lewis found more success with Steward as a trainer?

    Yep. He has better jab, footwork, taller, have a little speed advantage(not that big though). But lacks uppercut. Did I miss anything?

    Wlad has no inside game, none. He also has a very limited mid-range game, and is completely unwilling to exchange due to a lack of a chin. This is why he stands no chance against Lewis or Bowe. He doesn't have a better jab either. Klitschko fanboys are the worst.

    Bowe is most overrated boxer on ESB , if Golota could beat him twice so can Wlad.

    Golota tapped that ass. Twice. Are you guys serious?

    Bowe has almost no chance vs. one of the most fluid and polished HW's to lace them up.

    Bowe easily. I don't think Wlad could hurt him whereas it's a certainly Bowe could hurt Wlad. As soon as Bowe turns it into a fight, Wlad gets knocked out.

    Wlad has lost to three opponents who walked through his shots. Bowe would do the same, but more physically.

    I'm really not interested in whether or not Bowe could beat Wlad. But if you can't see a difference in the Bowe that fought Holyfield and the Bowe that fought Golota, you need to shoot your optometrist

    Wlad has the better jab imo, more consistent & effective though Bowe had a good jab himself. Bowe was always less effective against opponents who fought off the back foot, I cant imagine Wlad fighting any other way.

    :blood Golata didnt beat him once & Bowe was past his best

    Bowe was a solid HW. If Sanders could make trouble, you can bet Bowe would as well. Even though Bowe got his ass beat by Golota he was still throwing big punches and taking big punches. I'm not convinced Wlad could take those bombs.
