How would Prime Riddick Bowe do against Tyson Fury?

Fury wins on points or TKO. Bowe is there to be hit (look how easy Golota hit him with bombs)

 

An in-shape, motivated Bowe beats any version of Fury. Possibly by stoppage.

 

Bowe did not really duck Lewis. They were meant to fight after Lewis defence against McCall.

 

That's when Bowe had already lost his titles to Holyfield. He was of course happy to accept a 60/40 split from the champion Lewis when he had nothing to lose but when he had the titles and was contractually obligated to fight Lewis next, he offered him only a 90/10 split which Lewis initially refused but then accepted only for Bowe/Newman to turn round and say it was too late. It was a duck, a huge duck.

 

You are quite misinformed. See Rummy's summary.

 

No, he struggled v Holyfield who had recently lost to Moorer it`s only after Holy went on to beat Tyson that Bowe`s third fight v Holy was re-evaluated, Bowe was still trying to win fans back over after losing to Holy, he was having problems with his weight, he was overweight in his 2nd fight v Holy, he also looked sluggish v Hide.

 

Lewis crowned king as Bowe dumps WBC belt in bin

 

It would be all about buffets and cocaine. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Rummy's version is no different to mine, he just has a different opinion of the reasons. We both agree offers were made, they were turned down and when Lewis' side changed their mind and agreed and then Newman said it was too late.

He simply says it was boxing politics that killed the fight but fact is the offers Newman made were poor offers. 90/10 split is a low ball offer and the next offer which was to allow Bowe to take and interim fight and then fight Bowe for 9 mill. That might sound good unless you know Lewis made 9 mill in his next fight fighting Tucker then 8 mill against Bruno. Bowe was offering Lewis similar money for a title fight that he would be getting to fight Tucker and Bruno. That's clearly not a good deal and even then Lewis accepted only for Newman to then refuse to accept the deal he himself had offered.

Then after Bowe made 7 mill in his first defence against Dokes and Lewis made 9 mill vs Tucker they then offered Lewis 11 mill or a 50/50 split if the fight generated more than 32 mill. Bowe made another 7 mill against Ferguson and Lewis made 8 mill against Bruno. Lewis was already making more money than Bowe yet he wasn't guaranteed a split unless it made a huge amount on PPV.

In contrast when Lewis held the title and Bowe had non Lewis didn't mess Bowe around with a 90/10 split or refuse him a split unless it generated a certain amount, he offered him a 60/40 split in his favour and when the roles were reversed and Lewis was looking at a shot at Bowe he didn't even want 40%, Maloney's counter offer was for 75/25 in favour of Bowe. One side used boxing politics to duck the fight with sub par offeres designed to be rejected while the other made a fair offer which was immediately accepted.

 

Bowe in shape and motivated KOs Fury late

 

If Bowe is a size bully them what do you call Fury who fought a trilogy against wilder

 

Absolute rubbish. He publicly threw a belt in the trash.

 

It would flipping be a barn burner! Bowe banging body to the head as a big tall opponent versus everything we've come to know about fury: slippery, unorthodox, power punching when he walks a man down, the ability to box from the outside and hurky jurky timing. Bowe with his small window of prime was a bad bad man. Especially if were talking about the realness that Bowe had an insane inside game and could possibly be great when motivated! I have buster Douglas as the tenth best hw of the 90s just because of his win over Mike Tyson. Bowe ranks higher... It would be an interesting fight. Matter of fact, I kinda wish golota never grazed low against Bowe. Nobody especially bowe deserved that. And not to mention the senseless violence and turbulence it caused. What I'm trying to say is that Bowe would be rated differently if he had a fair few fights with golota because there would be different outcomes!

 

So what? Bowe's management wanted him to bilk his belt because they had easy pickings.
If he was truly "scared" Bowe wouldn't have been willing to fight Lewis around 94.

 

You are delusional. Really.
