Yeah, I think Bowe wasn't the brightest bulb in the set.................kinda like Golota, who was dimly lit at best.
He never showed anything that could suggest that he can take Wlads punches. He was floored by holyfield with single punch and golota who is not top puncher got him down. Bowe was to open and to aggressive for his own good. As soon bowe starts his pressure as soon he starts eating left hooks and crosses in full force.
Bowe by TKO, bowe would come inside and wlad wouldn't be able to do anything seeing as he has no inside game.
Bowe's the better inside fighter, but IMO, he focused too much on it at the expense of becoming a better boxer on the outside and gave up his own size advantages there by having the defensive openings he did. He'd have a hard time getting past Wlad's jab to do his own damage...it's too bad we never got to see Bowe deal effectively with that vs a decent fighter his own size.
Golota may have kicked Bowe's ass but let us not forget Golota absorbed a lot of punches himself too in that fight. Wlad does not have a chin of Golota.
Prime Bowe was far too good to get stuck on the end of Wlad's jab all night. If we are talking about the Golota version, Klitschko beats him, but prime Bowe would turn any fight with any heavyweight through history into a war. and Klitschko can not win a war with Bowe. Bowe was incredibly tough and would happily take two to land one. Far too much ferocity for Wlad.
:deal This exactly. Why is it so hard for the idiots in this forum to understand. I don't even like Bowe, but it is obvious he would knock Wlad out. You can't keep someone who is as big as you, as powerful as you, and more skilled than you on the end of the jab like Wlad has done to opponents like Eddie Chambers and Sam Peter. Bowe is just too good for this. He would give Wlad a reality check.
It's that mentality that would be Bowe's undoing in my eyes. If he succeeds, he can get Wlad out of there through breaking him down on the inside...but that style comes at a significant risk of getting himself knocked out. And make no mistake, Wlad hits hard enough to turn the lights out on Bowe. Wlad's got a substantial edge in outboxing, and so it becomes a matter of this: how does Bowe close the gap without eating too much punishment to get there? We never saw him effectively do this against a good big fighter, let alone a great one.
