Poll - Who would win? Usyk or 1992 Prime Riddick Bowe?

Uysk on points. His movement, ring IQ would be the difference. Yes Bowe beat Evander twice but Evander all too often abandoned his boxing and slugged it out with the bigger Bowe. Usyk would not do that and would have the discipline to stick to boxing and Bowe could definitely be out boxed at times as he didn't have good movement and was easy to hit.

 

Bowe liked his borderline shots if it's in America Bowe probably KO's Usyk with a borderline low blow.

But in all seriousness there's a few pluses for both men Bowe did seem to have some issues with boxers who fought him on the outside. But Bowe would be alot more aggressive than Joshua and engage Usyk more who has shown some vulnerability to body shots and pressure fighters.

I think Bowe is a bit overrated and Usyk hasn't totally convinced me at Heavyweight yet, i'll probably side with Bowe especially if it's in America which it mostly likely would be.

 

When there is a discussion about a fight against riddick bowe i assume we are talking hw not cw here ?

 

Usyk would have pitched a near shutout and then lost on the cards 120-108

 

Usyk isn't exactly slick. He's got good defense but to say Bowe would get schooled is a huge stretch. Joshua ran Usyk close in the rematch and Joshua is not as fluid as Bowe.

 

There's literally 0 evidence to say Usyk is better than Holyfield but you see more and more weirdos getting comfortable with throwing that out like it's fact. Strange. What the hell has Usyk done to make him better than Holyfield? Holyfield's competition was so much better.

 

I guess beating Aj, limited Dubois and having tough fights with old washed chisora and LWH Bellew is the benchmark now?

Usyk was a brilliant cruiserweight and might be the best HW on the planet. But I Don't see a guy that could beat a prime Holyfield/Bowe

 

truth!

 

Pointing out that you are wrong about nobody thinking Usyk is better than Holyfield.

 

Joshua is bigger, more powerful and technically better than Bowe. He's better at landing the punches that count. Granted Bowe has more heart and is more fluid but he's also less accurate and easier to hit. I see nothing about him that poses an insurmountable challenge for Usyk.

 

You forgot to mention Holyfields blatant head butts. Evan Fields was well schooled in the way of the third fist.

Edit: Saw it in your third post. Keep calm & carry on.
