    With Wlad, anything can happen (witness Purity, Sanders and Brewster). But maybe current Wlad is over that stuff. We'll see how his career finishes off. If Wlad brings his best game, he can beat Holy, IMO.

    But as I said, anything can happen.



    With Vitali, injuries can happen. (Byrd).

    But if Vitali is healthy and uninjured, I would pick him over Bowe. There aren't more than five fighters in history I would pick over a healthy Vitali.

    It's a shame he never reached his potential.

    But often, guys his size are prone to injury.

    Bowe was an extremely talented fighter back in his prime, certainly on a different level to any HW around now.

    Bowe would have been far too good for Vitali imo. For a big man, Bowe was adept at fighting on the inside. Discipline was Bowe's achillies heel, no doubt about it. He had the potential to be right up there among the great HW's.

    Bowe would have popped the jab in Vitali's face all night, whipping in right uppercuts aswell.

    You mean like Bowe did to Golota, oh wait............:yep

    No seriously, I think Bowe has a real good chance of winning vs. Vitali as I said in my previous post but it's hard to be sold on that outcome when you consider what Golota did to him twice, in a row.

    Didn't he hear about the Douglas, McCall & Rahman fights? No wait.............

    It's easy to bash a fighter when you only consider their defeats and not their victories.

    it's not really bashing as those guys did beat them so to say only two fighter could beat them is wrong as other have.
