    Maybe, and I mean that's a huge maybe. Personally I think Vitali would have a ton of trouble with him en route to an ugly decision for Vit. Bowe is a nightmare for many fighters H2H IMO.

    Naw. Bowe has a huge chin problem. He faced two live bodies in his career, Holy and Golota. They both put him on the canvas, and Holy wasn't even a first rate puncher.

    That's why Rock Newman wouldn't let him fight anyone.

    Lets be honest, Bowe is very lucky to have the record he does. He clearly struggled with Tubbs and Golota, who are not world beaters by any means.

    Bowe has trouble with big men. Vitali is a pretty big man.

    Bowe has no mobility. Vitali is elusive and has an insane workrate.

    Bowe doesn't know how to control distance. Vitali does this very good.

    Bowe doesn't have a great chin and receives lots of punches. Vitali would punish him.


    I think Vitali wins 2 out of 3 fights against Bowe.

    I agree with your assessment, except for Bowe's chin. I think he had a very good chin. I wouldn't say it's quite on par with Vitali's, but he's definitely taken big enough shots to prove he has a very good chin. I still think Vitali beats him, though. (you never know)

    I believe Bowe is the more naturally talented guy, just as strong physically, and that his chin was actually good. I think he'd beat Vitali.

    Lennox wasn't prime? A year before hand Manny said that Lennox hadn't reached his best yet.

    Bowe was stopped by Lewis as an amatuer with all the headgear and everything, and then chickend out in the pros. Its apples and oranges- Lennox was better than Bowe by a mile.

    Gozales was a waste of space as a pro. What does that prove?

    No offense mate, but this post is a little scattered.
