    Am I the only one that think a prime Bowe would have the nod against Vitali?

    I think he would take him prime for prime, Bowe 92 would drop Wlad 04 IMO. I see Bowe really doing a number on Vitali on the inside, it would be an exciting fight for sure.

    Alot of that is lack of USA media coverage. Hockey gets little play in the news due to so many foreignors. There are more non USA fighters today and the US sports writers don't like it so they give little to no coverage to them

    Yeah that could be true, but I remember just a couple years ago Wlad and Vitali getting alot press in the states, but after Vitali retired things went down hill. I just wish Wlad could have the same fighting style as Vitali, he was fun ass hell to watch fight.
