    Fury at his best can win it on points. Taller, arguably stronger, just as much heart, faster hands and feet.

    Bowe, on his best day, is a huge task for any Heavyweight. But it's an intriguing match-up, because we know Fury has an element of versatility about his game and I think he has it in him to confuse Bowe - at least, for a while.

    How would Fury handle the come-forward, offensive threat of Big Daddy? I reckon the list of heavyweights, who could defend, workaround and/or withstand a truly on-song Bowe, is a short one.

    I'm not sure I'd want to place a bet on this match. But, if forced, I'd probably bet on Bowe.

    The better fighters? Holyfield never ever did beat a guy remotely close to wlad with his pack of size,skill,power,strength. Both klitschko brothers would beat the real Deal. Stylistically bad matchs for evander.pfp of course he is the better fighter

    That would be one hell of a fight, I would lean very slightly towards Bowe likely by decision or possibly late t.k.o. Bowe didnt have one punch power like wilder but his combination punching is definitely better and more fluid than any opponent fury fought so I'd give him a good style advantage but I wouldnt rule out a fury win either.

    Would love to see how Bowe would cope with a 6 foot 9 switch-hitting master boxer.

    So after Fury beat a shot stone old WK and a Bum, after all, 124578613 negative posts about Wilder is a fraud but now he is a career enhancer.......then we have local club fighter Chisora and ATG Hammer.

    Did Fury ever defend his belts ?

    Is this the same Fury who kissed the canvas several times against nobodies ?

    Is this the same Fury who had to dig deep against a Swedish Pastry chef ?

    Bowe is a BIG man, who had a granite chin, fought three minutes a round, never gassed even when totally washed up. best infighter for ANY Big man, period,great jab and punch selection at long range.....a complete fighter.

    Fury has a edge in foot speed but Bowe will make him pay for his sloppyness, he will not follow him around scared like WK , he will force a fight irregardless of the incoming and Fury is not a lights out puncher anyway........if Fury brings the fight to Bowe like he did to Wilder a few weeks ago he is getting stopped, Bowe will murder him on the inside, he will be ripping body shots, low blows and nasty uppercuts.

    Throwing a jab followed by a right hand and falling in trying to wrestle is suicide against Bowe.


    Best case scenerio for Fury is running to survive like Larry Donald......but Fury is too open and will be caught.

    Bowe from Holyfield 1 with Eddie Futch figuring out the fight plan will stop Fury.

    The same Bowe who got outboxed by Tubbs? The same Bowe who got beaten up and retired by Andrew Golota? See how this works?

    This is a game I like....

    Can you show me were a green Bowe lost to Tubbs ? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Let me get the Krayon board out for you.......we are talking a functioning Bowe not a washed up shot Bowe from the Golata fights.....and Bowe still won....twice.....because he was ten fold tougher then the Mental Midget.

    Now this will be fun......so what fight plan is Fury going to use, he needed two tries to beat a Bum in Wilder, you and the other Fury and AJ nut huggers have called him that for years , a fraud.......cannot fight or box so winning against a fraud does not count and that leaves us with the Ghost of glass chinned WK who was too timid to let his hands go and settled including Fury for 11.245 punches a round combined for the duration in one of the most boring fights ever, it made Lewis?Tua look competitive.

    So Einstein......explain to me Furys fight plan flickering the jab while running.....that did not work against Bum Wilder in the first fight so how is that going against Bowe who will be in Furys grill non stop forcing a fire fight..............or is he falling in after a jab/right and try to infight Bowe who was the BEST Big man infighter ever........

    Riddick Bowe , next to marciano is the ONLY Heavy weight champ afaik who was NEVER stopped , period, and the ONLY fighter who stopped Holyfield face down out for the count, something Lewis and Tyson could not do.........and the corner stopped stone old Holyfield against Toney .....he was not counted ouit.

    I do not agree on this and Holyfield was more skilled in my view too.
