    I heard some Vitali fans bash Riddick and call him overrated. They than went on to say Vitali is an ATG.

    I'm down with that. But if Vitali is an ATG HW, Bowe must also be an ATG Heavyweight because Bowe's resume,h2h abilities,and overall boxing skills is >than Vitaly's.


    Don't come into this thread with your butt hurt vaginas weeping about how Vitali is greater because he's not.

    There's only 3 options.
    1-BOTH ARE ATG HW'S
    2-NEITHER
    3- Only Bowe.


    I don't want any butt hurt butt boys in this thread, so if you are one. get out. Before I throw you out.

    Someone tell me what's worst.

    Prime Bowe utterly terrified of a Young Lewis, to the point where he threw the belts into a garbage can.


    Or


    Prime Vitali getting beaten up from Rounds 3-6 by a old fat aging retiring Lewis.


    What's worst?

    That's not how life works moron.

    Riddick's resume prior to Golota is still >then Vitali's. I do agree PRime Golota is a h2h monster and whoever manage to KO a Prime Golota deserves amazing credit.

    Vitali has better defensive skills than Bowe and knows how to use his range better, also Vitali is more reliable than Bowe, he always brings his A-game.
    I chose both as ATG since i consider Klitschko to be an ATG.

    Resumes make ATG'S. 'A-GAME and 'range finding jabs' make fore interesting troll gifs , but it don't make ATGS.

    Vitali has been a champion longer and probably would never drop his belt in the garbage to avoid somebody

    Bowe was very good for a short period of time Vitali has had a long career with plenty of his success well past his prime

    I don't see Vitali as an ATG because he has a weak resume. You can't be an ATG without beating one single future HOFer. His best win is against a south African Golfer.

    Bowe isn't an ATG either in my opinion. He beat a prime Holyfield but that's pretty much it.

    Riddick's prime was too short to be called an ATG in my opinion. At his peak though, he was very, very good and could do it all (well, except defend too well, I guess).

    I'd have no hesitation in saying he's up there H2H at his best with his combination of inside fighting skills, great jab and good power. He also had a great fighting heart.

    Neither top 15, both top 20 probably, 25 w/o a fraction of doubt. I don't think there have been over 15 HW's worthy of being called ATG's, so I'd say no to Vitali, Wladimir, Bowe, and Holyfield.

    Neither, Bowe ran from competition that eliminates him, Vitali has had weak competition. Vitali refuses to fight his best competition his brother, neither made the most of their careers.

    Prime Bowe was very strong, one of the strongest ever.
    But he was a coward, and lazy, and ran from Lennox Lewis like a *****.
