Prime Riddick Bowe vs The Klitschko's.....Who Wins??

Bowe had the tools to beat both Klitschkos.

 

Bowe. Different class of fighter.

 

Really? Could you please explain how the Holyfield fight is a good blueprint for a fight against either Klitschko brother.

Would a fight between Bowe and Wlad or Vitali bear much similarity style-wise to Bowe - Holyfield, considering that Bowe was trading and brawling toe-to-toe through the entire fight against a smaller man in Holyfield, giving away his entire advantage in reach and height?

 

Bowe can match them for points from the outside then , when he gets on the inside both Klits **** their little panties.

 

I am a huge Lewis nuthugger fanboy , but you realy can not use an amature fight to put down Bowe.

 

I like the Klits, but Bowe in his prime was a beast his jab was easily on par with theirs and he fought much more aggressively than they did. He sure as hell wouldn't be afraid of them as 99% of the fighters today seem to be he'd take it straight to them. I like his chances vs. Wlad and I think he ko's or tko's Wlad, but I'm not sure vs. a prime Vitali to be fair. I think Vitali has a good chin and great overrall fighter, but I think Bowe would of dropped Vitali and won the first part of fight, and Vitali probably would of taken the second. Vitali is a tricky guy and alot of times pay attention to how he throws his jab. He doesn't snap it out like a regular jab, but brings it up from his waist, it's almost like blend between a jab and an uppercut. Very, very tricky and smart.

 

lol: and a prime Wlad destroys him so what the hell is your point Bowe beat a roided up cruiser weight as his defining win yet got beat up by people his own size. he looked good against holy in the first fight too bad holy fights nothing like either klitschko. Size Power were well below to claim he destroys them by comparing them both to a cruiser who he had every concievable advantage over is just silly.

 

You can if said fighter was too afraid to fight him in the pros after the butt kicking he recieved as an ameture.

 

Bowe can't match neither Klit on the outside. Why? Because Bowe never learned to fight "tall". Look at how ridiculously helpless Bowe operated at guys with a reach 3-4" shorter than his. Did you feel any reach advantage when Bowe fought Holyfield? No. Because Bowe was unable to take advantage of his natural advantages. Bowe is 6"5 but he boxed like he was 6"1.

Ever wonder why Bowe never dared to get in the ring with Lewis? He know has has zero change anybody that is taller than him and has solid long range weaponry.

 

Bowe TKO/UD Wlad
Vitali TKO/UD Bowe

 

The Bowe that beat Evander the first night would have probably beat Wlad but I doubt Vitali. I think people underestimated Vitali because he is a true minimalist, meaning he puts forth the least amount of effort required to beat somebody.

 

Bowe can fight on the inside, neither Klitschko can. The Klitschkos fold when someone stands up to them. Bowe would knock Wlad out 100% and beat up Vitali into quitting again or a UD.

 

When did Vitali fold aside from being maybe too much careful about his health vs Byrd?

He totally didn't fold against Lewis, he did the opposite, he went to war, and wasn't loosing.

 

The curse strikes yet again.

Vitali is soooooooooooooooooo overrated, and Wlad underrated it's untrue.

Wlad could beat Bowe, Vitali would be left lying in a heap.

 

The best version of Bowe stops both brothers. ****, a 38 year old donut eating beer drinking pedestrian Corrie Sanders nearly stopped prime versions of both brothers in 1 and 2 rounds. Beating up on old guys, fat guys, bums, and other "C" class athletes doesn't make you great. This current era is so bad it makes one wonder if even Jerry Quarry might have been in the mix today - considering all the ex-cruisers and mid-sized heavys picking up a check (albeit a small one).
