Wladimir Klitscko vs Prime Riddick Bowe

If Golota "never beat a top 10 fighter" can't stand up to the pressure...what chance does Wlad have? Golota would have had a seizure against Peter or busted his balls until he got dqed.

At any rate,

You failed to address the most critical issues of this match up. What is Wlad going to do against Jesse Jackson and the Fan Man? How will Wlad hold up to a thrashing from a Walkie-Talkie? WHAT ABOUT THE RACE RIOTS!!!!!

 

If Bowe did get in the ring with Wlad. Wlad would destroy him. You saw how Bowe struggled in European class before when it wasnt strong like it is now (against Golota). In this era Bowe wouldnt have even been able to work his way up to a title shot (not good enough), and would have been beaten by any known European HW he faced.
Bowe would have lost to any of these guys

W Klitschko
V Klitschko
A Povetkin
D Haye
N Valuev
D Boytsov
F Pianeta
R Helenius
A Ustinov
A Sosnowski

but would have been in winnable fights against

E Chambers
C Arreola
T Thompson
R Austin

Bowe nowadays would have still been a good regional American fighter

 

50-50.

 

This posting has to be the defining moment of your career as a member of a boxing forum. :happy:happy:happy

I won´t try to argue with you on this one, not even on Pianeta, Sosnowski and Ustinov. :rofl

 

This is a tough one to call, but I'm going to favor Wlad. Bowe was not hard to hit, and against a big power puncher like Klitschko, that spells disaster.
I see Bowe eating too many jabs, and on the inside, where he is so much better than Wlad, I see Wlad just holding him.

On the flip side, the idea of Bowe getting in a knockout shot is not very far fetched either. Bowe could stay pretty busy when he wanted too, and let's face it, Wlad hes never faced anyone very good. I don't think very highly of Bowe, but he's light years better than anyone Wlad has fought.

I'd say about 60-34 in favor of Wlad.

 

Bowe by KO.

 

Bowe knocks out Klitschko.

 

Bowe would be outclassed by Wlad. TKO win for Wlad by round 8-10.

 

bowe is the most overrated fighter i have ever seen, he is at best a b-fighter. no way he beats wlad, vitali, lewis. byrd would outpoint him. what was his prime? 3 fights??? all right he is an all time great becuase he is american and black...atsch

 

Prime Bowe all Days !!!

 

I voted: Riddick Bowe K.O./T.K.O.

 

Agreed....

Not sure how Bowe holds such high esteem as his resume is lame as hell...He avoided every big puncher and made his name off Evander who he held every advantage over. He only took the Golota fight because he thought Andrew was another of his typical bum caliber opponents.

 

Andrew Golota beat the living pee outta prime Bowe TWICE. Andrew doesn't have the jab or power or handspeed of Wladimir Klitschko, do the math.

 

That's IF Wladimir could even get Bowe in the ring. Bowe would rather fight stiffs & undersized Heavyweights........................

 

Bowe aint corrie sanders or lamon brewster.............look at bowe/gonzales................and that woul dbe the same 4 bowe/wlad...
