How would a prime Bowe have fared against the Klitschkos?

Fair point. But that's exactly why I'd pick Bowe by KO.

 

Would've knocked them both out. Too skilled, too slick, and too black.

 

Wlad has virtually no shot. His chin would be the end.

Vitali and Bowe would be a great fight. I would give the slight edge to Bowe, because when he fought wars he won, Vitali hasn't yet.

KO Wlad but possibly lose to Vitali (decision loss).

 

:rofl

Another troll that doesn't know **** about boxing.

 

Close loss fighting vitali. KO's Wlad.

 

Both fights would partly resemble the Golota fights. Golota was like a poor man's combination of the two, without the cheating and idiotic behaviour. Vitali TKO's Bowe, Wlad UD.

 

Bowe was an overrated bum. He was a stationary 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 Andrew Golota.

- Got schooled by tomato can Tony Tubbs.

- Blatantly ducked Lennox Lewis.

- Going life and death with cruiserweight Holyfield is not impressive.

Vitali-Bowe common opponents (Herbie Hide and Larry Donald)

- Bowe was badly hurt several times and almost KO'd by Hide. After the fight Bowe admitted he was out on his feet several times and said Hide was the hardest puncher he ever faced.

- Vitali easily destroyed Hide in 2 rounds.

- Bowe won a lackluster decision over Donald.

- Vitali is the only man to knockdown and stop Donald. He dropped Donald 4 times and won by KO.

Either Klitschko easily destroys Bowe.

I'm sorry but you don't know **** about Boxing if you think The Bowe who fought Holyfield in 1992 losses to the K brothers.

If you followed a little more boxing you should know that everybody around the boxing world (journalists, trainers, etc) acknowledged that Riddick was done after the 3rd Holyfield fight. Hell even after winning the first fight in 1992 he started livin' the good life (less training and showed up blatantly out of shape at each fight).
He still managed to stay competitive, but he hit rock bottom when he showed up at the weigh-in of the first Golota fight, I mean I don't remember his weight, but even Arreola would look good next to Bowe. That was that bad.

1992-1993 version of Bowe EAT ALIVE current Wlad & Vitali. Just watch the fights.

 

People always forget Vitali's win over Herbie Hide - the latter was actually favoured to win at the time, had only one loss (vs Bowe incidentally) and was the reigning champ. That's a good win right there (ko2).

 

**** off back in the kitchen.

 

:deal

 

:good Good post, Gonzalez was Bowe's last good performance imo. Both bros have no inside game other than clinching

I think you're being a little unfair on Bowe there and don't forget that Wlad has his losses too.

 

Excellent post, my thoughts exactly. Im a fan of the Klits, but
Prime Bowe was on a higher level. Vitali wouldnt have the
power to stop Bowe. Wlad would not survive his uppercuts.
Bowe was arguably the best inside fighting heavyweight,
iron chin, top tier jab, atg uppercuts, mad heart, and as
someone mentioned he had a mean streak in the ring.
Bowe KO Wlad, Bowe TKO Vitali on cuts. Bowe never
got stopped too tough. From the streets of Brooklyn,
no fear or love in the ring.
