Ajs resume vs Bowes resume

buster matthis jnr name your lkooking for
i forgot about that fight TBH the tillry one always comes to mind but not matthis jnr

 

Thanks!

Bowe really should have 3-4 more losses on his record. He was a good heavy, but not what he is made out to be. To me, he will always be the guy who chickened out of an agreement to fight Lewis.

 

I've scored Bowe - Tubbs 6-4 or 7-3 for Bowe, as did two commentators and the newspapers. That wasn't robbery. Tubbs performed better than expected but still lost. It was fair decision.

As for Holy and PEDs, I have no doubt that most if not all top boxers are juicing (and Holy was never caught after the fight, the Evan Fields story came in between any fights or training camps).

I suspect Holy was juicing as any other top HWs of the last few decades, but it's not proven.

 

Except he was getting roids delivered to an address very near his house from a known ped clinic under the false name Evan Fields. When the number associated with the Fields account was called - guess who answered.

 

That story is well-known We can name many who got caught and thousands who weren't while juicing. Holy was caught in his 40s, he can say he was clean in his 20-30s.

'Not proven' I meant about other possible PED users which were too many to name here.

 

They’re pretty close right now, I’d give Bowe the edge right now but think Joshua will over take him soon…it’s tough because Bowe looked so good for a short time…Rock Neumann protected Bowe, which was a huge mistake in many ways…

Bowe was fluid and fast, with excellent skills, but, lazy in training after winning the championship…Joshua is not as natural but is a capable and great student and highly motivated…In the long run, I’ll take highly motivated almost every time…

 

Maybe clean in 30s, but we just have his word for it. I am always a tad more suspicious of a dude who started out operating at 190lb, especially when you add in being caught late in career.

 

Bowe never unified cause he won 3 belts in his 1st title fight.

AJ beat legit belt holder to unify (Parker), but he also beat the least deserving (without any doubt) HW beltholder ever (Charles Martin).

 

True.

Bowe could've had more name opponents (Lewis and Mercer). Not fighting Lewis was his fault, and Mercer came out of shape and lost to Ferguson.

Tubbs wasn't at his best, Thomas and Dokes were shot, Hide wasn't top-5 HW, and Seldon was probably the weakest beltholder of 90s.

 

To be fair, you have been a bit disingenous, as you haven't put 'old' next to Wlad's name like you have with some of Bowe's opponents.

It's also very difficult to compare stats from previous eras. Yes, Parker is obviously a top 5 HW. But that's in today's era. We don't know whether he'd be classed as a top 5 HW in Bowe's era.

Would Brazaele and Takam etc have been top 10-12 HW's in Bowe's era? What success have they had?

If Hide and Golota were active today, then they would certainly be in the today's top 10.

If you want to compare rankings from past eras, you have to put them into context.
