    Bowe is overrated. You can't fight in the 90s and miss Tyson, Lewis, McCall, Morrison, Mercer Foreman, and so on.
    Yes he has a great win over Holyfield but outside of him he really missed the boat.
    He looked good but Golota wiped the floor with him and he was done by 29.
    He made Ring magazine's list of top 20 all time heavies. I thought it was a reach to give him that. Wasted talent and Eddie Futch agreed

    like vitali fighting in the 10s but not beating byrd povetkin haye valuev chaegev, stiverne. (not to mention the 00s listof not beating lewis and tyson!)

    now that is even a weaker list by far - underlining that your point was completely self destructive and you ought to retract it in order to save the pluses of the rest of your post.

    I wasn't speaking on Vitali only Bowe. Consensus is the 90s was a strong era for heavyweights yet Bowe missed all the big names save Holyfield. It's inescusable.
    As for Vitali his resume is not that strong not nearly as good as his brother but he still managed to fight Peter, Arreola, Johnson, Adamek, Sanders, and in a losing effort a good fight with Lewis.
    His resume is deeper than Bowe's. And he actually came back from a major injury and was able to stay in shape and continue his career.
    Sorry but your agenda was exposed. Troll elsewhere.

    then why the hell arent you speaking about them both, this thread ASKS us directly to compare them. if you want a thread exclusively talking about vitali start your own - dont comment on a bowe vs vitali thread expecting just vitali input, for goodness sake. what a strange reply from u!


    in ONE post, you've gone from the point of posting who someone DIDNT fight to instead who they DID fight.
    make your mind up about what you want to argue!

    as has been said - vitali missed as many "major" opponents as bowe, and of weaker substance too. U've said nothing to refute this.


    why u categorise me, both highlighting your one weak point and praising your strong points, as "trolling". trolling is a one sided, not a balanced view.
    I'm not trolling by ANY measure!

    did i scare u into shouting "troll!" in fear of your failing argument, - that was not my intent - my intent is merely to improve your post.

    why do you think I am concerned about you, quote me where I said I am so.

    or flop. yep thought so.

    all this just because you couldnt take a single criticism alongside some praise..... i think what u mean is for you to grow up.

    Herol gets obsessed about posters and then claims that they are "stalking" him :rolleyes: Good luck, pal.

    Me, I just wish he'd learn English.

    His knowledge of the game is limited. His act was best described as one trick pony only without the trick on a broken record track designed for derogatory comments on the Klitschko's

    He actually had the reverse effect, as he wasn't knowledge or tactful enough to make a good hater type. People just laughed at him. Still, I was okay with him.

    He never got personal until very recently.
