Wladimir Klitschko vs Riddick Bowe

biased? actually it was the pure truth

 

Go watch first holyfield fight and watch how bowe sets other punches and combos with his jab...
Even george foreman said "that left jab has been the most devastating thing in his life" . I think he said that in the famous round 10, go watch it, even better watch the whole fight and then come back here.
Also bowe has a big advantage in stamina, went 12 hard rounds with holyfield, wlad is known for gassing out, and he always looks so tired in the late rounds even when he dictates the pace of the fight

Also watch how bowe outjabbed and destroyed jorge gonzales, a big and mobile boxer with quality amateur background, and tell me than that wlad would outjab bowe. Wlad never dominated taller fighter with his jab the way bowe did against gonzales.
Seriously you guys are delusional if you think wlad has any chance, he looked bad against an old, slow thompson, he has no chance against bowe.
Even if he somehow catches bowe he won't finish him cause he's a poor finisher and would **** his pants at bowe still coming to him

 

taller and stronger? bowe is 6'5 and wladimir is not even fully 6'6... they are pretty even in height, and the strength i doubt it, bowe handled holyfield easily physically and evander was a very very strong man, klitschko is big and ripped but a pretty body does not make you stronger. i think that wladimir hits harder but i am not sure who is stronger

 

Wow so you expect wlad, not a great finisher, to stop bowe who had never been stopped, has a good chin and helluva heart?
Wlad was scared shitless to engage with haye, and he's gonna control the fight vs bowe and tie him up inside? Good luck with that against a fearless 6'5 big guy with great inside skills, and a warrior mentality.

Brewster stopped the prime version, and he's nowhere near bowe. Bowe obliterated gonzales and outjabbed him easily. See the difference?
He looked like **** against thompson, couldn't outjab him, and out of desperation started some infighting against him... Imagine that against bowe


Bowe is one inch shorter and has the same reach, no size difference here. He also has every punch in the book and can put his punches together, skills wlad has noone of it.
Bowe hasn't fought from outside? Tell me why did foreman praise his jab? How the hell did he bust gonzales from outside, look how he shoots double jab and knocks gonazles back?
As i said, wlad's jab isn't as effective against tall opponents, and bowe would obviously trouble him with the jab and bust his face with it cause wlad cuts easily. Don't know why you think wlad would win the battle of jabs, it's not like he beat some elite jabbers so it's a given.

How the hell is wlad gonna tie bowe inside, who is big and strong like him and has skills actually on the inside? You think bowe is some blown up crusier like haye so wlad can easily clinch him?
He couldn't control fury inside let alone bowe

 

Evidently you were so busy tripping over your arguments that you missed this:

I forgive you.

 

WRONG.

He outjabbed Bowe and landed some big shots from the outside. After Bowe was on ***** street, Golota destroyed him on the ropes. Did you even watch the fights?

Wlad >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Golota

 

I have to agree with this post all the way.

He's a horribly boring fighter if he gets to execute his gameplan, because he takes zero chances. From his perspective, why should he? His gameplan is arguably the most effective one in boxing history, and as long as they let him get away with his Dr Octopus tactics why should he change it?

This same basic battleplan is one that Bowe would have no answer for.

Frankly I much preferred Young Wlad who absolutely tried to blast the opposition out of there. He's still there, under the layers of jab n' hold, but it takes a guy to severely pressure him (like Pulev) to bring that Wlad out.

The refs should just do their job.

 

I guess that's debatable. I put forward the argument that Wlad at 240/245lb of ripped muscle, vs Bowe at around the same weight but visibly flabby, Wlad will be stronger. Bowe looked better at 230, but then he's giving up quite a bit of weight. Klitschko handled guys Bowe's size before without too many problems.

 

He didn't use fleet of foot movement against Pulev. After he momentarily did the huckle buck off a power less Pulev jab he panicked and wrapped onto Pulev and didn't let go until he foud the knock out blow.
He couldn't box a lick against Pulev. He relied on his power to bomb Pulev out after the breaks.
How is it possible you know so little about this sport?

 

So what if wlad is ripped, this isn't bodybuilding, and the fact that he has weak stamina and bowe an excellent one, shows that bowe actually has better boxing conditioning, and would be the stronger man in the clinches cause wlad tires way quickly

 

Golota had the tools to engage Bowe in a fight. Wlad did not. Golota couldn't handle the heat. Neither would Wlad. Golota didn't want to be in there any more and QUIT. So would Wlad.

Bowe >> Purrity , Wiliamson , Brewster , Peter , Sanders , Povetkin, Fury .

Wlad who got utterly destroyed against Brewster beating Bowe?????

 

it is not bodybuilding or fitnes, norton, weaver,bruno,or wladimir were more ripped than foreman but i have no doubt about who was stronger. bowe was at his best at 235 so what? so you think that heavier =stronger?
