    Vladimir Klitschko became the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO champion by beating those champions. Wilder ran from Thompson, Chisora, Fury, Adamek, Jennings, ad infinitum...............Wilder has never fought anyone ranked. Wonder if Wilder's #3 WBC ranking was bought?

    Scott qualified for a fight with Wilder by getting knocked out by Chisora..............

    An in-shape, motivated Bowe would have made short work of both brothers. :yep

    Neither of them possess anywhere near Bowe's potential. Bowe didn't just rely on his size. He actually had real skills.

    Lewis knocked Bowe out in the amateurs. Bowe refused to fight Lewis while he was on top. I was in Bowe's camp years ago. If not for Eddie Futch, Bowe would never have been a champion. Vitali or Vladimir would have knocked Bowe out, no doubt about it..........

    It'd be a great fight either way. I mean more in terms of accomplishments than head to head tho.

    'Potential' doesn't win fights. Discipline, motivation, hard-work, preparation and professionalism does. In professional performers e.g. in violin players, talent is about 10% of the equation, while repetition (training, preparation) is about 90%. IMO boxing is very similar.

    You can dream all day long what a 'motivated, in-shape' Bowe would do, it's all fantasy-land dreams not based in reality. Bowe had **** discipline and never had the drive to make it to the top and stay there. That's why is career and legacy are ultimately disappointing and he is now living in a trailer park.

    anytime you have to use "an in shape" description in front a fighter thats known to be out of shape when he loses or looks like crap is such a cliche and an excuse to why they would beat someone like a klitschko who are always in shape.

    Bowe would have done exactly as Lewis did, maybe quicker.
    The brothers are big and that's all.
    They wouldn't be able to hug and clitch against Bowe or they'd be eating uppercuts the same as Vitali did.

    It was Viatli who was "dreaming" after round 5

    Stop spamming with your racial hate. The thread has nothing to do with Wilder.

    Few fighters have been considered ATGs when they were active. ATG level appreciation comes long after fighters retire.
