    Bowe from Holyfield 1 vs the best Vitali (who imo lost to Lewis)

    Who wins and How?

    I got Bowe by wide UD, he put jabs and lands on Vitali whenever necessary, Klit's defence only worked on smaller guys and Bowe would land repeatedly with his over hand and left hook, should they fight inside Bowe has the better game and would land his Uppercut on Vitali

    Vitali wouldn't be able to outjab Bowe, who has an excellent left hand and his defence wouldn't hold up against someone of equal size, Vitali has a good Defence tho and would make the distance with the aid of his Chin and the Heart he showed in TKO6

    And a side Question who is greater as a HW?

    Vitali would easily stop him.

    Bowe was very protected. The only time he fought guys who can punch a little bit were Evan Fieids, and Golata. Holyfield was a good but not great puncher even with the roids, and Bowe went 2-1, climbing off the canvas once, despite having a 30 pound weight advantage. We all saw what Golota did to him.

    Vitlai would go right through him.

    Vitali pretty easily. Vitali is too tough, strong and consistent to not be favoured over Bowe.

    Bowe by TKO on cuts. Vitali didn't have the power to KO Bowe and Bowe was an absolutely great offensive fighter. He would land that jab, right and left hooks and Vitali had really bad skin.

    Not only he was cut against Lewis, but be looked more beaten up man after the fights against Timo Hoffmann and Kevin Johnson, each of whom didn't win a single round against him.

    Here is how Vitali looked against Hoffmann whom he beat like a drum for 12 rounds. Hoffmann looked less beaten fighter after 12 rounds of pummeling by Vitaly.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=Vit...AUIECgB&biw=1600&bih=757#imgrc=5UjZDTTUCZMAAM:

    And even against Johnson, who barely landed a punch against him, Vitaly's face was remarkably marked up

    Vitali is reasonably underrated - he's at least near or on par with Lennox Lewis. I could see Bowe outboxing him but Vitali's power might eventually catch up with him. The more fights they had the more Vitali would grind him down.

    I like Vitali and all, but how is he at least on par with Lennox when Lennox beat him?

    Lewis is a top 5 heavy, Vitali top 25.

    Vitali all the way.

    We all saw what happened when Bowe finally fought a prime guy with skills that weighed as much as he did. He got retired.

    vitalis best effort is retired shot sanders, a guy who when prime did not register as a threat to the 2nd tier HWs below Bowe and Holyfield.

    bowe at his best is holyfield. SO its certain Bowe takes the fight, but vitali with his better longevity takes the rematch.

    well he did beat retired shot sanders, and thumper peter as his yardstick.

    Thats the yardstick he provided for you to use, so use it, pal.

    Perhaps you think the OP should list 25 guys who would beat shot retired corrie sanders or Sam Peter.

    Yep, Holy was 204 for Bowe, probably a natural stone lighter than Usyk say..Before he turned in to Evan Fields that is, Bowe should've dealt with him a little easier imo
