Riddick Bowe -vs-Wlad Klitschko…

Yeah I think Wlad wins a decision after a couple scares but if it really came down to having a gun to my head I'm just not sure I'd pick Wlad here

 

Bowe wins!

 

The results don't make sense to me.

1. Riddick Bowe's defence is absolute dog ****. I don't see any scenario in which Wlad doesn't detonate on his jaw.

2. Bowe probably isn't even top 20 in terms of power all time. If a 41 year old Wlad can take multiple bombs from AJ, why on earth would a prime Wlad not be able to withstand punches from Bowe?

Wlad has the better jab and foot work between the two of them as well, and can just bear hug him to death when he gets inside and then reset.

Bowe went life and death with the 3 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter Holyfield who fought one of the worst fights of his life (then beat him again when he was suffering from hepatitis lol) and now he's thought of as some H2H god when he didn't showcase these mythical H2H skills against decent competition at any other point in his career.

Bowe gets treated like Fury before he lost to Usyk and like Vitali Klitschko used to be about a decade ago. Gets an awful lot of mileage and extreme benefit of the doubt for what is relatively speaking, very little substance.

 

you'd have Wlad by KO then?

 

Bowe stops him

 

I think he knocks him down a few times on a way to a UD.
