    Fury by decision. Better Boxer much harder to hit. If wilder could not ko him then Bowe is not stopping him

    I kinda think Fury is going to have to get into a fight to beat Riddick Bowe, Bowe did know how to go in a tough fight

    Yes but Bowe throws slightly more punches than Wilder's 4 attempted hayemakers per round....

    Bowe put his punches together much better. Fury is much bigger.

    I think if Fury moved and boxed he could win a decision.

    If he employed the strategy used in the second Wilder fight, I would favor Bowe.

    If forced to choose, I'll go with Bowe.

    yes it is probably truth too. Still i think that bowe is not stopping Fury much less beating him by decision

    Plus the fact he actually lands a few. Fury's got a whole load of out of shape body for Bowe to hit and nothing to deter him with. Did Wilder even try and hit Fury's body? Riddick would have

    See the Gonzalez fight for what happens when a well-schooled fighter takes on a hyped creation which I think Fury is. Bowe by beatdown well inside the distance for mine. Strangely, I'd give Wilder a better chance (puncher's chance) against Bowe. And even that isn't much of a chance.

    Didn't pay attention in the second fight because he was getting absolutely dominated but in the first fight Wilder was definitely headhunting

    Actually the record of Bowe is crappy. apart from beating Holyfield, a naturally smaller man and bowe had a stylistic advantage over him(he also lost against him). his record has nothing else. Tony Tubbs was robbed against him.
    Fury schools him

    To be honest i think that the wladimir that Fury did beat would beat this evander h2h. But like i said, the only thing that He had on his record is evander ( and he also did beat bowe)

    In 2015 wladimir was not in his peak but he was not "old" he was 39 yes but he was a dominant champion, in huge shape ,strong and Athletic like a guy in his late 20s. And noway. Holyfield is not beating wladimir klitscko h2h.
