Bowe has three wins over guys who finished in The Ring top 10 annual rankings in the year before he beat them. Wilder has four. Bowe got stopped in the Olympics. Wilder got a medal. Bowe made two consecutive title defenses. Wilder made 10.
No, Bowe beat four, (Holy 2x, Hide & Gonzalez), Wilder beat three (Ortiz 2x, Stiverne I). Wilder still came away with a worse medal than Bowe did Bowe won the lineal title from an all-time great. Wilder boxed a tour of bums after beating a fat **** for the title. Try again.
You’re wrong. Holyfield’s heart condition ass didn’t crack the 94 annual. Stiverne cracked the annual in 2016. That makes it 4 for Wilder and three for Bowe. I repeat, Bowe got stopped in the Olympics. That’s what he’s known for. Bowe tossed his belts to avoid the guy who stopped him. Stop arguing with the facts, Georgie.
Holyfield was ranked when he fought Bowe, and Stiverne wasn't in the Wilder rematch. They're facts that actually matter. And the fact Bowe got stopped at the Olympics doesn't mean much when Wilder couldn't even get to the final against a far worse opponent. And Wilder avoided every live body in the division and turned down 140m for a two way fight Joshua in his own backyard. The only reason he even fought Fury was because it was a cherry pick gone wrong. Throwing stones with the ducking accusations. Bowe was a magnitudes better fighter than Wilder by any measurement.
Everything I wrote was true. Stiverne was, in fact, a mandatory so he must have been ranked. Perhaps he was inactive because he was a mandatory. Perhaps he was a mandatory because Povetkin used PEDs. Perhaps Wilder didn’t fight Povetkin because Povetkin was on PEDs on a separate occasion. Perhaps Povetkin ducked Wilder. Perhaps Wilder has a draw with a legitimate superheavyweight ATG whereas Bowe declined to fight one.
I personally never saw the sense in the Bowe-Lewis Olympic stoppage. Looks to me like Bowe was bouncing around, hands up the air, ready to fight. Even the announcers were mystified.
