    Golota showed how limited Bowe was and he got destroyed by Brewster.

    These guys hit harder than Tua and Ike Ibeubuci? If they do, it's not by much.

    All are better then Wilder.
    If Ruiz spanked AJ so could prime Rahman and Brewster.
    Byrd was small, but could box.

    Bowe may have been flattered by Holyfield fights as matched up well stylistically. However due to lack of fighting other top opposition we will never know for sure. I do suspect that the Bowe that fought Golota may have been suffering from CTE though based on Bowe's behaviour shortly after Golota fights.

    Yeah. Holy was a warrior and all, but Bowe wasn't a monster puncher. He tee'd off on little Evander.

    Riddick Bowe was the ONLY fighter who stopped Holyfiled face down.....Fact.......Lewis could not do it......Tyson could not do it...Foreman could not do it..........Toney got a corner stoppage when Holyfiled was like 145 years. old

    Bowe matches up very well against Fury, he matches him on the outside and is the superior infighter, bar none and the sloppy ness he exhibited on saturday Bowe would make him pay for it dearly.

    Bowe had a very short prime due to life style choices but when on he is a extremely hard nut to crack IMO he stops Fury or wide points win if Fury runs.

    Bowe the most overrated heavyweight of all time.

    holyfield
    Then um.....I’m trying to do this without boxrec.

    he beat golota twice yes but was getting smashed up

    Herbie hide ?

    Everyone goes on about bowes short prime, fury could have had a short prime but he’s mentally tougher, worked his a.ss off and won the wbc. Now it looks like THIS is fury’s prime

    and don’t forget Bowe was terrified of Lewis

    Three years ago during Wilders title run and Joshua’s PED induced defenses the heavyweight division was “ALIVE AND POPING AGAIN!!” according to dingle berries like you. Why the sudden attitude change towards it??? Lol

    Wai wait...according to Einsteins like you Wilder is a bum so how come Fury gets all the credit for beating a bum ? Thread after thread that Wilder is a bum. ...and then stone old glass chinned WK in one of the most boring 5.75 punches thrown around fights ever.......

    Prime Holyfield is leaps and bounds over a shot WK and the Superbum Wilder.......and Bowe beat him from pillar to post.

    Enjoy your day in the sun, pound your chest for the zero purse you got from AJ or Fury but it is a absolute fact that AJ is getting stopped fairly soon again and eventually Fury will take a nap too, the nature of the beast, but that is all foreign to you in your room with closed curtains and all.
