Bowe-Golota I & 2...WHAT HAPPENED, BIG DADDY?

Golota used what may very well be the simplest trick in the boxing book against Bowe, and he used it over and over again in both fights.
When Golota jabbed he would step forward with his left foot, but not move his right foot. This created the illusion that he was in range and that caused Bowe to punch back. At that point Golota would slide his left foot back, Bowe's punches would come up short, and Golota was in position to counter.

 

Lewis fans nearly always use the bogus amateur win over Bowe in their argument why he would win in the pros.

 

Past prime tnt schooled him.
Bowe is overrated

 

Wlad excelled vs big opponents, fought to his strengths and was always conditioned. Plus he was a massive puncher against a fighter with poor defense. Bowe was very fluid with his offense and often fought dirty but Wlad’s much straighter right hand would find the mark and he had easier time fighting at a comfortable range than Bowe ever did, Bowe often gave up his advantages to fight inside. Wlad wouldn’t allow that, I gotta go with him but it is an interesting match up

 

Wlad would still be World Champion today if he carried on fighting guys 6'3 or shorter. He lost his last two fights because he fought guys his own size and bigger. One who outboxed him and one who overpowered him.

Did he ever fight a 6'5 235lb guy with great inside skills and a good jab to boot and one who would fight dirty.
If Klitschko clinched too much I can guarantee you Bowe would hold and hit when breaking up from the clinch.

 

Klitschko was a great fighter but his weakness was fighting against men his own size who were aggressive.

Klitschko once uppercut himself, that's how great his in fighting was.

Klitschko was half boxer and half wrestler however the wrestling did not work against similar size opponents.

 

If Bowe could turn back the clock I guess he do 3 things.
Avoid Holyfield after the first win
Fight Lennox ( win or lose , it couldnt make things be much worse than they turned out)
Stay more disciplined.

Ty Biggs fought 5 top guys in his prime , Tyson Damiani Mason Bowe and Lewis.
He landed more leather on Bowe than the rest put together and made Bowe look easy to hit.
Maybe that tells you something about Bowe ? Its just another angle on the debate.
Also watch his fight v Tony Tubbs , which I thought Tubbs won.
Bowe got by when he was the bigger , stronger man.

 

He also thinks Bugner > Wlad

 

What happened? A comB(OWE)ination in the nuts! Lol

 

All the big 6'5+ fighters (Bowe, Lewis, Klitschko Bros) won easily when they had the size advantage and found it harder when fighting someone their own size. The heavyweight division is the only one where such size discrepancies exist and these big guys take full advantage of it. There simply aren't that many 6'5 + people in the World.

 

Wlad was 39 and 41 when he lost those two bouts and had made 18 consecutive title defenses. One bout was a stinker where the winner avoided the rematch and the other was an epic performance by a very over the hill fighter. Bowe was washed up at 29 an entire decade earlier, and how many title defenses did he make?
Wlad crushes many big fighters from Jameel Mccline, two Tony Thompson, to Wach, etc.
Bowe fought in the stacked 90s and yet somehow failed to fight Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Foreman, McCall, Morrison, Moorer, and too many names to count. Their was a reason 4 it.
Wlad wins this match
