    There have been worse heavyweight chins that Wilder's, give him the benefit of the doubt and say he survives until the 2nd.

    Bowe stops him early. Big mismatch.

    No more than four. Bowe may have to get off the floor though.

    Bowe would get up close and physical, bully him from the off imo, maybe similar to Gonzalez. A fighter with much more to his arsenal than Wilder. You have the chance he could land something but realistically he gets eaten easily. Ref has his hands full here

    As of right now this is just a bad matchup for Wilder. Bowe doesn't have good defense but he had a solid chin and if Fury's half assed last minute adjustments to the "Kronk" style neutralized Wilder's offense due to his inability to fight backing up, an expert inside fighter like Bowe would demolish him in 5 rounds or less. Bowe may suffer a flash knockdown tho.

    And if he did Wilder would gas trying to stop him and end up on his back within 1 round IMO

    That is a dangerous match up for Bowe who is miles better on every level but just a bit to hittable to be comfortable in there with a punch like Wilder.

    I wouldn't doubt it, but prime (Holy I) Bowe might be a bit defter.

    Wilder is easily my favorite heavyweight today, but I don't see him or Fury or AJ doing so great against the primes of the 90s greats: Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield. No.

    Wilder doesn't get the space he needs to launch the right hand and connect cleanly against someone like Bowe.

    I take Bowe to dispatch of him by round 5 or 6.

    I can see Fury doing well, Fury gets whooped by Lewis, but he'd give Holyfield, Tyson and Bowe fits due to the way he uses his size well. wouldn't favor him though. Bowe would walk him down and eventually find him and finish him after getting outboxed. And Holyfield will pressure and outland Fury, same with Mike Tyson. Aj will do decent i guess though no way in hell would he beat a peak Holyfield or even the Holyfield that Lewis fought. Lewis would pick him apart and if Bowe from the 1st Holyfield fight and the Coetzer fight met Joshua it would not end well for the bodybuilder, brutal TKO(LOL). Although it would be competitive for how long it lasts. Aj would beat the Bowe that fought Golota but Bowe at that point was well past it. Mercer on a good night like against Holyfield, Morrison or Lewis would beat Joshua. 90s Mike Tyson would KO Joshua as well.

    I see AJ getting pulverized by 1992 Bowe.

    I don't think Fury would do too great, either. A taller guy like that would eat Bowe's overhand right one too many times. I could see it going to maybe a SD. I'm not even sure Fury had the firepower of a Holyfield, so I just can't imagine him keeping him away for long, plus let's remember Bowe's infighting. Does Fury have what it takes to stand up to that?

    Bowe was a legitimately great fighter with guts in his prime. Different levels entirely

    Fury's better than you think, he's far better than Gonzalez and stylistically totally different from Holyfield. He wouldn't be eating the overhand right all night, he has excellent head movement, a very long jab and quick feet for a guy his size. I can see him outboxing Bowe because he wasn't having an easy time with Biggs who is inferior to Fury in movement although theur speed is the same.

    But i see Bowe eventually stunning him because Fury has shown vulnerability to the overhand right and i see bowe finishing him off late after earing him down on the inside as well.

    Aj ? Yeah tbh i can see Aj getting beat up, i wouldn't say pulverized because realistically Aj is a huge puncher and Bowe never really fought a big puncher until he fought Golota, so Aj could stun him and make it interesting, then again Aj's chin wouldn't hold up for long and Bowe would outclass him in the exchanges. Probably have him out of there by round 6
