    I know about all this very well. The facts are that Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield and Ruddock engered into a 4 man tournament where the winners of each fight agreed to fight each other. When the time came Bowe broke his word and trashed the belt instead of going forward and fighting him. There was then an offer of a 90\10 split which no fighter would accept under the circumstances. In other words Bowe priced himself out. After that Lewis grew weary of Bowe and didnt need him anymore and Bowe lost to Holy, had two wars with Golota where he appeared shot and then his joining and quitting the Marines. After that his window as a top fighter closed. I.always liked Bowe and thought his upside could have been phenomenal, but he did the ducking not Lewis.

    It's amazing, the fans of haye are still butthurt after klitchko dominated him and they still can't accept it.

    Golota told you everything you need to know about bowe and did it twice, he also dropped him twice and if golota could outbox and drop him, haye would knock him back to brownsville , so he can jump on L or G and get off at greenpoint just to get the taste of polish sausage once again.

    Haye, Povetkin, Pulev, Thompson. Boxing is not only about 2 fight in your prime.
    Bowe probably will try to fight Haye in the inside and will get destroyed, same with Povetkin.

    The only atg list Bowe belongs on, is one listing the most over-rated fighters ever.

    About 25-30% of Wlads opponents (excluding those when he was just starting his career) would have beaten Bowe.

    Bowe's rep is built on his fights with Holyfield, who is even more over-rated (at Heavy) than he was.

    Can someone define Bowe's prime for me? In clear and concise manner.
    How can a fighter have a prime of 1 or 2 fights? That's laughable.

    Which years spawned PRIME Bowe? Or is it days? :lol::lol:

    to be fair, its as much a joke as "wlads prime is at 37/38, not late 20s early 30s like everyone else, because I'm in denial that he got knocked out in seconds by a retired old fat guy who never won nothing in his whole career".

    im pretty sure bowe beats wlad h2h but u ought to celelbrate wklad better longevity rather than fictionalise wlad beating someone very good.

    Bowe stopped Everrt Martin in 5 .. Six years later -Martin took Wladimir the distance.

    Lionel Butler got blown away by Bowe in his professional debut. Lennox Lewis was a 20+ Pro and former Champion when he looked poor against Lionel Butler.
    But Bowe didn't even have more than two fights under his belt when he stopped him in two.

    There isn't a single opponent on Wlads record that would beat Bowe from the years 1990 -1995.

    Povetkin is the best option but there isn't a hope he out fights Bowe on the inside. He'd be lifted clean off the canvas with upper cuts.

    Watch ESPN Ringside Evander Holyfield. They invited Bowes manager Rock Newman and Rock basically agreed that they did duck Lennox Lewis.
    With that said, there is no one on Wladimir's resume a prime Bowe wouldn't have beaten.
