    I'v seen his fights with holyfield. herbie hide and Golotta, and he's regarded as one of the top heavyweights of the 90s. From his fights he had a great jab and he could slug it when he wanted to, and he had pretty good punching power (but it was nothing scary), the problem here is that he disgracefully dodged lennox lewis in his prime which takes allot of shine away from his achievements. How do you think he would have done against vitali and wlad? i'm pretty sure neither of these two robbots wouldv been able to impose there size into the fight against bowe, would wlad get Knocked out without putting up a fight? would vitali get busted up and make it competitive?

    Bowe gets beaten up by both.

    People rate him high due to the Holyfield trilogy, but with the K's, he'd lose most of the physical advantages he held over Evander. Bowe lacked the dedication and Boxing IQ to maximize his talent, and he'd need it maximized to stand a chance with either brother.

    Bowe was an overrated punching bag who couldn't block or slip a punch to save his life. He was dumb as ****, slow as molasses, couldn't control distance and couldn't even throw a straight punch. He was totally outclassed and destroyed twice by Golota.

    Either Klitschko easily destroys Bowe.

    I think a prime Bowe probably would have been too much for Wlad. Vitali is another story altogether, though.

    vitali? the same vitali that was out on his feet against sanders, the same vitali who was broken in half by Lewis who at the age of 38 was past his peak. get real. bowe would use his jab to get inside on both of them and work them on the inside probably stopping both of them

    Bowe was a big dangerous heavy. Anyone who says K2 win easily is delusional.

    Vitali wasn't "out on his feet" against Sanders. I doubt he was even seriously hurt...more off balance during that round one slip.

    And Vitali certainly wasn't "broken in half" by Lewis.

    I don't think Bowe would have had an easy time with Vitali. Far from it. Vitali has the durability, size, skill, strength, smarts, and confidence to handle himself against Bowe. This one is a pick 'em fight, I think.
