    Sanders by early KO - Bowe made a career out of avoiding heavy punchers because he had such bad defence he would have been beaten by any heavy puncher. He was fine trading with smaller fighters altough he did have to use a fork when he bravely beat up his wife!

    His wife is also of the type he would have avoided in his prime.

    As unintelligent as this may sound, MuchMoore's post is the closest to the truth. Guy's come on, Corrie Sanders? Really? Against an ATG prime Heavyweight Champion? Corrie Sanders is a career journeyman with a one hit wonder. Ya, he can be dangerous at times, but their is a reason he never panned out as anymore than a one hit wonder. Bowe is in a much higher class. He won't fall victim to any one hit wonder. Sanders, fundamentally is horrible. Bowe's jab, combined with his repertoire of clubs and sharp hooks will take him apart right away. Sander's mediocre jaw will then give out right away, and if it doesn't then his horrendous stamina soon will.

    Bowe by early KO

    Agreed, agreed.

    Sanders power is getting ridiculously overrated all the time on esb. People want to make Wlad's loss look less bad than it was and Vitali's win over him a big deal. Sanders couldn't knock out the likes of Rahman and now he's going to knock out Bowe? Absurd.

    Are we talking about Super Southpaw Sanders or the actual Sanders?

    Bowe is not this.

    Tho, at his best, he still wins this match-up.

    They are one and the same.

    Cornelius Johannes Sanders... The Pride of Pretoria.

    But he didn't. In fact, he got knocked out by Rahman. Rahman was not hard to knockout. Oleg Maskaev did it...Twice.

    A peak Bowe is an absolute top class fighter who would give any ATG problems, and probably take home some wins from them.

    Sanders is several levels below this.
