prime Bowe vs Vitaly

Bowe SD.

Vitali would trouble Bowe with his size, agility, and skills. But I think Bowe has the tools to expose some of Vitali's flaws. I think he can jab, move, and would counter over the top with the right hand often over Vitali's jab. Bowe's power won't KO Vitali but it's good enough to get his attention. Bowe can keep with Vitali's pace if we're talking about the Bowe that took on Holyfield in 92. Anybody who mentions the Bowe of the Golota fight as proof Vitali would win automatically eliminates their credibility. Sure, you can mention how Golota is an eastern European type fighter that had assets that Vitali had that could pose Bowe trouble. But let's not act like this is the best Bowe.

 

Well the bowe that showed up to fight holy the 1st time or the bowe who fought gonzales...........would beat vitali.........any other version of bowe would not

 

Bowe TKO.

 

Klit

 

Tough fight to call with 2 fighters who's legacies have been mainly been defined by their performances against a single opponent, Bowe with Holyfield and Vitali with Lewis.

Bowe fought in a superior era but apart from the Holyfield wins his competition level was not really any better than Vitali's. Bowe for all his skill inside was not as adept when boxing from range as shown when he fought Golota. While Bowe was seriously faded at that point the ease with which Golota dominated Bowe was simply shocking and highlighted the flaws in Bowe's game even during his prime. His open defence, poor mobility and overrated jab.

I see Vitali being tough enough and savvy enough to survive some rough moments inside to outbox Bowe and earn a narrow decision.

 

Anyone think that Vitali might cut in this? Because Bowe has the size to hang with Vitali like Lewis, perhaps he can get off some punches that might bust Vitali up. Honestly have no idea how easy Vitali cuts being that my only evidence is the Lewis fight and I don't really see Vit take too many clean because its so hard to get close. I'll go with Bowe tko or Vitali on points. Would of been a fantastic match up.

 

Bowe that fought Holyfield in the first fight would win...

 

Very tough fight to call.

As unproven as these two are they do have the physical assets to trouble anyone in history.

That being said, bowe trounced a prime holyfield and that is something that eclipses any of vitali's achievements. As an aside he has also held every heavyweight belt at one time or another. Can't think of any one else who's done the same.

Razor thin matchup. Over ten i'm sure they'd exchange many victories.

Out of one, i'm going for the guy with the atg victory.

Big daddy takes a very close decision. Pretty much as even a matchup I can think of.

 

Hmmm...good question, i think vitali would use his size to his advantage and win by late ko

 

You go with the dependable fighter. We know Vitaly is gonna come to fight & more importantly, we know he will be in shape. The better shape Bowe is in, the tougher the fight is for Vitaly, but Vitaly wins regardless. Also, for whatever reason, alot of Vitaly's opponents like to show up in the worst shape of their career, so expect Bowe to 50lbs overweight in this one.

 

Bowe everytime. I once saw an Alien invasion fleet penetrate the Earth's atmosphere then Riddick put his super-awesome outside pyjamas on and sucker punched the lead ship out of orbit after which the rest ran like little girls.

Heck - I saw him win a game of connect four in three moves!

Bowe's combination of Afrikana blackness and American-ness is also a real bonus because it's a little known fact just how awesome that comination is! Couple that with globular seculism and a weak US educational system and you have the greatest boxers who ever lived; or one of anyway!

**** I heard America doesn't even use Rockets to put Satellites into orbit anymore they just use Riddick's right hand!

Besides all Bowe's awesomeness though we can never forget Vitali si a quitter. I mean **** what kind of ***** quits with injury rather than continue fighting and tear a muscle that won't repair it's fibers correctly for the rest of his life? I mean what a ***** right!? What a complete and utter *****! I mean it's like going to hospital if you have a heart attack - you're just a ***** quitter for not sticking it out until it's over!!!

 

Troll.

It's an even contest in my eyes.

 

Lewis didnt need a jab or boxing ability to breakdown Vitali. He used a style really close to what Bowe fought just about always, only Bowe was better at it. I see the same scenario, only Bowe stops Vitali by knockout mid rounds.

 

Pretty tough to call but Vitali and to a big degree because of his mentality and ring intelligence. I see Bowe having trouble with landing a big hayemaker and frustrated being behind on the scorecards in the middle rounds, then flipping out somehow - like sucker punching Vit in between rounds for example.. If he would connect with some bombs though.. It could be over on a cut or something. Bowe had the talent to throw powerful hayemakers and uppercuts in a clever way, unexpectedly. The main question is whether or not Vitali would manage to avoid them well enough. I think he would and win on points or by DQ.
