    Who would win and how

    Anyone picking Bowe, I would like to know how he wins and what style he will use and when he has used it before.
    Bowe tended to overpower opponents but take a hell of a lot of punches doing so. So how many of Tuas can he take or will he be defensive and shut Tua out - How do we know he can do this when has he done it before?

    Bowe would stop Tua mid to late rounds.

    Bowe by TKO in the mid rounds or UD, Bowe would look to brawl with Tua and would find success.

    Prime Riddick Bowe beats Tua..

    If they fight at range its all Bowe with his obvious advantage in size, his jab and right hand would smash Tua from the outside.

    If they fight on the inside where Tua usually makes his living again I see Tua out gunned, Bowe was a great inside fighter and would hurt Tua to the body, and with his strong uppercut he might just finish him off..

    If they go to war which I am assuming as Tua would want to slug and Bowe has no problem fighting that way either then my pick is Bowe TKO9..

    I tried to tell this guy that having power is only part of the equation. If a fighter cant deliver it, its not affective. Tua had his hands full against fighters far more limited than Bowe.

    Tua would get some good shots in, might even drop Bowe. Keep in mind Bowe was only down in the third fight with Holyfield and the two fights that followed that (Golota x2). After these 3 fights he did not box for almost 8 years. A prime Bowe is hard to floor.

    I think Bowe fights him much like Lewis fought him. Bowe W12.

    I don't understand the persistance in Tua getting dropped into fantasy fights with ATG fighters. What did he prove?

    Bowe's dumbass takes unnecessary shots, but survives and wins a decision.

    Bowe would win. He took horrible punishment from Golota and didn't break, and I don't believe Tua would land anywhere near as much on him as Golota did (for one reason, Golota fought past-prime Bowe and this thread concerns prime Bowe). Bowe would consistently outland Tua and either run out a clear points winner or maybe even get a late TKO.

    As Bowe did against fighters more limited than Tua but Bowe is always given a free pass with apologists stating he was past it then.
    How about just judging Tua on his best night - The Tua V Moorer or Ruiz may well have walked through Bowe the same way.
    We can only make assumptions on what Bowe did when given the opportunity to fight a elite puncher...he put the belt in the trash and ran!

    Moorer? Yeah sure that was a peak Moorer and peak Tua..:). Who did Bowe struggle with fight after fight that was more limited than Tua?

    Golota - Tubbs - Hide had him hurt and if Hide had kept at a distance he may have won but he decided to trade with a 30lb disadvantage - bowe states he won from a lucky punch catching Hide and hurting him - Hide kept getting up from Bowes blows but was out cold Vs Vitali fro a glancing blow.

    And how would he do that - He's not gonna last long against Tua using his face first none existant defence and he cant fight any other way
