    Usyk because of Tubbs.

    It would be a great fight. But, best vs best I would go with Bowe. His physicality and sharp punching would be the difference. I think Usyk has a much better chance of beating Fury.

    Joyce looks like a third-rate Riddick bowe there. Hardly even a contender.

    He was fighting Usyk though. Joyce is bigger and stronger than Bowe, and pressure is his bread and butter.

    Here he is against Hrgovic around that time (Joyce wins):

    I think it might have a similar dynamic to the Donald fight. Usyk will engage a lot less than usual and be on the run more.

    Please do not mention Joe Joyce in the same sentence as Riddick Bowe. My mental health can't take that. Unless you're going to be saying how many miles ahead of Joyce that Bowe is in every department.

    Bowe would knock him out and Anthony would have never made it out of the fourth round vs Bowe.

    Both silver medalist. Bowe wasn't 6'6, 260 though.

    Watch some Bowe fights and get back to us. Start with the first Holyfield fight. Then take a look at Joyce vs Jennings.

    No. Bowe would have destroyed the bodybuilder

    What does these amateur bouts prove? Its half of what the recent flood of ukranian mobsters seem to talk about in relation to their guys. Using ams to prove pro all the time is pretty much scraping the barrel, and you dont seem to realise it.

    Yes he probably would be favoured against Joshua, but I doubt Bowe would actually find out for himself though. Considering he ducked all the notable punchers of 90s, and strong competition in general outside of the smaller Holyfield.
