Deontay Wilder would have been the first man to stop a prime Bowe.

    It's the power punching, I don't see Bowe being able to take that power, gotta be honest.

    You watch Bowe in the Olympics and his refusal to fight Lenny Lewis in the pros.

    Deontay would have stopped him imo. Not many in history stops Bowe, but Deontay is one of them.

    A cherrypicker like Deontay would have never faced Bowe.

    Thought you'd ditched Wilder MVC when Stiverne got picked again?
    Of course he could probably KO anyone but I'm not sure he'd land over twelve rounds against a good boxer,against poor opposition he banks on being able to find the big right hand and between round five and ten he usually does but he's been facing guys who can't even find his chin when he over reaches,not questioning his power as he was clearly born with it but I just ain't getting carried awa.

    It's true. Riddick suffers from crippling 'anemomenophobia' - I just looked it up, fear of _i_d_i_l_s????

    Riddick Bowe was perhaps the most talented fighter of the 90's (the second greatest era of heavyweights of last 50 years IMO). Lewis was a fingernail behind, but I give the slight edge to Bowe. He should have gone at Golota early in the first fight like Lewis did instead of allowing him to wreck him with low blows. Great, fluid boxing skills combined with very good power. Put it this way- Gerald Washington was easily outboxing chicken legs before he landed his lotto punch. Bowe was light years ahead of him. Bowe easily demolishes Wilder 9 times if they fight 10. Wilder of course would have the punchers chance.

    Lets not forget you publicly agreed that AJ would beat Wilder 65-35.

    So don't go claiming Wilder is a shoe-in to knock out Bowe.

    This would be like Bowe facing Jorge Gonzalez,,,,

    MVC is grasping at straws again, he does this whenever his pride gets hurt.

    Bowe would have put a whooping on Wilder, I'm afraid.
