If Bowe fought all Vitali Klitchko opponents

On paper, Bowe should beat all of Vitali's opponents.

But I don't think he would. He'd grow lazy and fat, in addition to simply getting older, and lose to a lesser fighter.

 

Probably so........ BUT! I insist V.K.'s comp has been good.......:bbb

Christ, both "Louis and Marciano" fought their share of ham and eggers..... Yet, hardly anyone seems to give a ****.... Why?
:blood:huh

MR.BILL:hat

 

Bowe beats Lewis? I think Bowe would have more losses that he currently does if he fought all of Vitali's opponents.

 

Bowe lost one close fight his entire career with an ATG. He had ten times the heart than Vitali had, thats why he was actually able to fight through adversity on three occasions and come out the winner.

Vitali has been nothing but a complete failure in comparable situations. :deal

 

Fixed :good

 

I know, so be gone!

 

no it hasn't
theres no way any of vitali's comp has been better then marciano's or louis. look at who these guys beat. Carnara, Schmelling, Walcott, Max Baer, Buddy Baer, Charles, Toney Galento, and Tommy Farr. Much better then anybody on Vitali's resume.
And even Marciano had some good opponents in Louis, Charles, Moore, Walcott, and Rex Layne. Once again all of these guys are better then the opponents the klits have been feasting on.

 

by the way bowe would likely beat all of Vitali's opponents IF he stays focused..

 

Regardless of what you think about Bowe being scared or whatever, he showed tremendous heart, getting up from a knockdown where he was basically out, and fighting through his depleted skills against Golota twice. He took tremendous punishment, got off the deck and forced Golota to quit and foul out twice. That shows tremendous guts and determination. In retrospect, Vitali quit due to a hurt shoulder, and basically quit mentally once Lewis started hitting him more frequently.
Thats an intangible that can never be taught and would always be a factor had they fought, because Bowe would need to be knocked out or safely outboxed at distance, not to put Vitali in a situation he didnt like, and that most likely would not happen because Bowe was a hell of a fighter.

 

i think chris byrd would beat post 1992 bowe.

 

This hall of fame is full of guys who had to quit, Left Hook. Bowe never had to fight with a torn shoulder, nor was he smart enough to know that that type of injury could end a career if he pressed it. Very few fighters press on and win wih that type of injury.

Bowe showed good heart in the ring, but failed to do so out of the ring.

Also, your nuts. Vitali did not mentally quit vs. Lewis. I seen guys pack it in with a cut. Vitali was pressing on, and winning the fight. Your antipathy toward Vitali is starting to get the better of your judgment.

 

Vitali was submitting to Lewis pressure, thats for sure. Why do you think he started getting hit more and more?

Id also argue its much harder to finish a fight with a torn shoulder against the light hitting Chris Byrd, than it is to get off the deck half unconscious against Evander Holyfield.
