Bowe (Holyfield 1 fight) Vs. Peak HW Usyk

Usyk easily.

Bowe had such natural advantages over Evan Fields being 6'5" and 235 to Fields' 6'2.5", 205, that it was hard to overcome that, even with the PEDs. Usyk easily gets past 220 as a heavy.

 

Bowe

 

Riddick Bowe was much better than AJ and Fury.

People don’t give credit for how skilled Riddick Bowe was, he was a special special fighter.

 

Bowe's uppercuts and inside fighting could cause Usyk some issues. Bowe was a better infighter than AJ or Fury.

That being said, Usyk is smart enough not to trade with Bowe. I think Usyk will move around, jab well, land enough big lefts to have Bowe's respect, and outwork Bowe for a close decision.

I don't see Usyk trading with Bowe like Holyfield did. I do think Bowe will have a lot of success to the body and head. But ultimately i think he gets outworked and outsmarted.

 

Usyk pretty decisively.

 

Usyk couldn't even beat Fury and AJ 'easily'.

 

He beat both easily on two fights each, despite British judging and refereeing. And Bowe wasn't much better than those two. Bowe is a guy who most people at the time feel was beaten by washed up Tony Tubbs, and who looked in serious danger against Herbie Hide.

 

Bowe and convincingly so. The best version of Bowe is some kind of monster...

 

Its debatable if Bowe could beat AJ and Fury AT ALL (ok maybe not AJ)

 

The reason Holyfield lost to Bowe was down to him abandoning the game plan and having a war. Benton and Duva were pulling their hair out.. Usyk wouldn’t be that macho and try to slug it out. I’m going Usyk by a split or majority decision.

 

I voted in the poll for Usyk but in reality I wouldn't bet a penny on the result. Usyk is possibly
the finest technician in heavyweight history but Bowe from his first fight with Holyfield was
incredible.
Very,very difficult to decide who would win in what surely would have been an absolute classic.
