Frank Bruno vs Riddick Bowe

Only to you Bomber, only to you.

 

Resume is not that relevant for me, peak form is more important. Bowe's in my top 10 all time.

 

What make Holyfield more of an ATG than Bowe ?!?
Bowe beat him twice and arguably deserved at least a draw in their second fight.

 

Well then your on about something completely different, by that logic you'd have Douglas as an ATG because of his peak form. Resume wise Bowe is no ATG not even close.

 

He had a longer more established career, Bowe only has the Holyfield fights and that's it. Outside of that his resume is very average.

 

On the contrary, i believe Bruno could have potentially been a very tough fight for Bowe, who was never thoroughly tested against any puncher it must be said & despite having a hall of fame skillset, he lacked a champions mindset which resulted in his relatively brief prime, battered from pillar to post by polish nutcase Golota, which finished him at world level.
Whilst i do agree Bowe would be the likely winner, it's by no means an easy feat and i could envisage Bruno troubling him sufficiently to at least make the fight competitive, with Bowe's class eventually telling somewhere during the middle rounds.
Bowe TKO 8 Bruno.

 

1st , Consistency . 2nd# Other than Holyfield who else would you say was a
a great fighter? I did write he had ATG ability..... But some don't have the
discipline to match the mental with the physical.... Bowe is one of those
in my opinion.....

 

No, cause even though Douglas was great at his best, he only did it for one night vs an unprepared Tyson.
Bowe beats a prime, fully focused Holyfield and never lost, except for the Holyfield rematch which I scored a draw.

 

What consistency ?!?
Holyfield has way way more loses than Bowe, even at his best.

 

Douglas had the big win over Tyson and wins over Berbick, Page, McCall, Cobb, infact you could say those names are better than most of Bowe's resume. Your scoring of 2nd Holyfield fight is irrelevant, the fact is Bowe lost and then wasn't that impressive vs a sick Holyfield in their 3rd meeting, in which Bowe came close to being stopped. If you actually compare Douglas's best wins to Bowe's best wins, there isn't much that separates them honestly.

 

I LOVE watching Bowe at his best. His fights w Holyfield r my favourite heavyweight series but I just don't understand what ppl see in him that they rate him so highly. A part from Holyfield, his only other highlights r being punch in the groin by Golota. He really didn't have the wins or consistency.

Look at Holyfield, who've I've respected since his Genesis game I still love:

Tyson x2
Holmes
Foreman
Mercer


More impressive. Even was still a top fighter thru the Lewis series whereas Bowe was long gone by then.

 

People are right to favor Bowe, but this could be an interesting fight while it lasts.

I think that Bruno would counterpunch Bowe, and that would give Bowe some problems.
