Prime Riddick Bowe vs Prime Vitali Klitschko

Vitali. Hell, Golota beat Bowe senseless before DQ-ing himself. Golata's an idiot, btw.

 

which both had been destroyed by vitali - you are mixing up the brothers, trouble_man ;-)

 

I've confused myself now!

 

Bowe was shot then. Watch how poor he looked in the 3rd Holyfield fight, and the Herbie Hide fight. Even though he won both he looked no where near the fighter he once was, infact i thought he looked terrible against Hide.

 

I just can't really think of a time when Bowe wasn't shot. One fight, maybe? Two? Either way, Vitali's size, strength and awkward style would be too much for Bowe. Vitali by late tko. Btw, Bowe must be the greatest waste of natural ability in the history of the HW division.

 

bowe was no where near his best vs. golota.

 

Riddick Bowe was one of the biggest waste of talent ever. He had ONE great fight the Bowe-Holyfield 1. He then just went to pieces . He was scared shitless to ever get in the ring with Lennox Lewis. He liked small HW's like Vander a big man like Klitschko would
scare the pants of him. He had probably the best trainer EVER in Pappa Smurf Eddie Futch & he wouldnt stop eating for him

 

Vitali would batter Riddick Bowe.

 

I think the Bowe who beat Holyfield would beat any version of Vitali on points. But the Golata of Bowe version loses on points, and takes a beating.

 

Vitali. It's going to be a tough fight but he will break him in the end. Probably by TKO in the later rounds.
Bowe is vastly overrated. He stopped the small Holyfield but after several months he was beaten up by Golota. Then he was beaten up again. The same Golota who was destroyed in 1 round by Lennox.

 

Vitali

 

I think Vitali has a good chance, but im not sure how Vitali would of dealt with the Bowe that fought Holyfield, because that night he really did look like the best HW of his era imo.

Bowe was having his way with Lewis on the inside in that olympic fight before Lewis landed that right hand, and based on Lewis performances against Bruno,Tucker,McCall he is lucky he did not meet Bowe around that time, because i think Bowe would of beaten him.

 

A prime Riddick Bowe (essentially the first Holyfield fight) woulh have probably stopped Vitali Klitschko.

 

Yeah, but he beat Holyfield in part due to his size and strength advantage. He'd be on the losing end of that against Vitali. Vitali would simply wear him down and then put Bowe away in the late rounds.
