    I actually think they're in the same league in a number of areas. I think H2H Bowe would win if they fought in the inside and would loose if they fought from a distance. So whoever controlled the distance in that fight would likely win. If pressed I'd probably pick Bowe but won't bet money on it. In terms of career achievements, if Wlad stopped fighting today, again it would be close, Bowe's best wins are probably better than Wlad's and he wasn't KO'd, but Wlad is more consistant and has been at the top longer. Certainly Wlad is on track to pass Bowe in achievements, it's just a bit subjective as to when this will happen. To some it already has, and to others, it may never happen, to me, if he can unite the belts than he's done more than Bowe ever did.

    2 things:

    1. Wlad has plenty of "heart" as witnessed by him getting up every time he was knocked down.

    2. Wlad had enough "dog in him" to beat Brewster into quitting on his stool. Ironic huh?!

    Chagaev is now "unskilled" in your opinion? Sorry, I don't buy that at all.

    So you count the Golota fights against Bowe, but not Wlad's 3 losses against Wlad? :lol:

    Bigot? Moi?? I'm just calling it like it is, you stand VITLAY next to Lewis and he's an inch taller at best....as you can see from the end of the Lewis fight when WALDO stood next to VITLAY they're the same height, and this proves that tales of 6'7 and 6'8 or even 6'9 are exagerrating their respective heights somewhat.

    Window appears to have found a couple of pics with VITLAY in his high heels that he wears to keep the myth going though :patsch

    Holyfield doesn't have enough power to KO WALD with one punch.....possibly. Does WALDO have enough power to KO Holyfield with one punch? **** no. Would WALDO be able to cope with the constant pressure that Holyfield could put on him? I suspect the answer is no.

    So WALD has as much dog as Byrd, who could also make fighters quit.

    Why don't the Klit-ites ever mention that crappy win over Wiliamson too...that was as bad as Bowe getting fouled out by Golota surely :huh

    Byrd does have a lot of "dog" in him. That's for damn sure.

    Are you kidding? Williamson was running for his life against Wlad, and Wlad was easily handling him. Wlad got a bit overanxious trying to make something happen, over extended on a punch, was on one foot, and TOS caught him and knocked him off balance. Wlad touched his knee on the canvas and got back up in less than a second.:lol: Then he proceeded to beat the living **** out of Williamson. Then, the fight was stopped on a cut from a headbutt the round after that... which Wlad also won easily. How on earth is that as bad as Bowe getting the living dog **** kicked out of him against Golota? One off balance knockdown (which TOS admitted himself was just Wlad being off balance)... in the midst of a complete domination, is as bad as getting your ass handed to you in ever aspect of the boxing game, and then winning by DQ?

    WALD was losing on one of the cards in that fight, which is 33.3% of a moral victory for Williamson, surely :huh

    Well there still seems to be some uncertainty over this fight, similar to the first Bowe-Golota match up so surely a rematch would be in order, same as with Bowe-Golota? I seem to remember several people were calling for a rematch at the time.
