    Bowe very easily, the fight would be similar to Joshua vs Povetkin except that Bowe had a superior jab than Joshua...

    Stop. Most of Klitschkos era was poor. The division was devoid of talent. You had Eddie Chambers, gold medalist Povetkin, Peter and the Klitschko brothers and thats it. If you want to count david haye thats fine but thats about it. The early 90s had a lot more competition.

    But let me guess im "biased because im a wEsTERn PoStEr. If anyones biased its you. Klitschko is an all time great and a H2H force nobody's questining that and even Emmanuel Steward said he had amazing talent but his era was a weak one

    Haye was good. He hit hard for his size and he was 217-219 lber. Not undefeatable God but he wasn't bad.
    Had you watched his fight vs very large giant old Valuev's version?;)

    If he was in Lennox Lewis size and weight he had been more effective.

    Large boxers era, look how large these top boxer were?
    While in 50 ies approx 190 lber Patterson was 100% legit champ for some time?

    The 90s had a multitude of super heavyweights

    Would be a fun fight. Bowe wins. Povetkin is not durable enough to withstand the sustained fustigation Bowe would put on him. Bowe is hit-able but, he's got a good jab that Povetkin can't match, and Bowe was great on the inside.

    Povetkin hit harder than Holyfield and Bowe was so hittable. Look at his fight with Hide, he was rocked a few times.

    Bowe wasn't a power puncher like Joshua either.

    No version of Povetkin beats Bowe, even the old brain damaged version. Golota once upon a time was a good fighter. Just had a very short prime.

    205 - 215lb Holyfield gave Bowe brain damage and he didn't hit as hard as Povetkin.

    Pathetic post. WK was a champion for 15 years. Let's see any of this era you suck on get near that. Povetkin of last week bears zero comparison to the prime version and would push Bowe hard. He'd also give Lewis a war.
