On what sense does AJ and Fury beat Riddick Bowe???!!!!

 

I was going to post something similar buut decided to let them live in cloud cuckoo land

 

I can see Fury doing it not joshua, he gets brutalized

 

Riddick Bowe would absolutely destroy Fury's body.

 

Fury puts a boxing lesson on him. Bowe is easy to hit and Fury is relatively hard to hit. Add the height, weight and reach advantage for Fury and Bowe loses.

Joshua on the other hand has a massive punch and Bowe has never had to fight someone like a skilled big like Joshua. Joshua was able to put down an old Wlad and I think he could put Bowe down as well. Bowe's defense lets him down again.

 

I don't see it. Fury never puts a boxing lesson on any prime contenders, I'd be close if fury won. Wlad was old and cautious against a taller longer younger guy + his offense was too basic

joshua gets knocked out. He doesn't have the mentality or the chin to play boxer puncher with Bowe, joshuas only realistic scenario is a British stoppage. I think he needed 3 or 4 rounds to recover against a 41 year old Wlad who refused to press the issue. You can bring up Golota but Bowe despite the hellish beating was still there hanging on and managed to come back and floor Andrew, his heart is unquestionable in a war, any version of Joshua would get overcome. He could be a challenge, not a banana skin, I've seen enough from Femi, he's not built for this

 

Hard to hit ? Fury has been on the canvas 8 or 9 times and Usyk landed 50 percent of his power punches in both fights vs Fury.

 

Fury's body is wide open and Bowe would break that down to bits.

I mean yes Fury can be hard to hit and does exhibit very good head movement skill but don't forget he has been knocked down multiple times by much lesser fighters than Bowe.

@brb I don't think you're realising how skilled Riddick Bowe was, he really wasn't some plodding lump as you imply he is.

Holyfield would have also beaten Fury and AJ.

 

Kinda disagree. You can't use Holyfield's loses late in his career as a negative while using Norton's win over an old Ali as a positive. I would also argue that Bowe's win over Holyfield is better than Norton's win over Ali.

 

I like AJ ...no homo

 

1) Fury
2) Bowe
3) Norton
4) Witherspoon
5) Joshua
6) Schmeling

 

Fury Bowe is a fun fun fight but Fury would edge him on the outside if on form

Pressers would be great

 

1 Bowe
2 Fury
3 Norton
4 Schmeling
5 Joshua
6 Witherspoon

 

1. Bowe
2. Norton
3. Schmeling
4. AJ
5. Fury
6. Witherspoon (Tim)

Tough and interesting question. Honestly, could be ranked several different ways.

Bowe was the undisputed champion.
Norton fought in an elite era.
Schmeling had top quality wins.
Fury has ducked AJ.
Witherspoon in a good era but inconsistent.
