    Fury. Bowe was always overrated and had a low boxing iq.

    If Fury sticks to boxing he wins but if he tries to slug it out with his sloppy rights or hug on the inside he'd get murked by uppercuts.

    Bowe from the first and third Holyfield fights would eat Fury's ******* alive, although it might take him awhile depending how fat and out of shape Fury turns up as.

    Fury wins a decision.

    I struggle to see how he deals with Fury's 4 inches in height and reach, Bowe's never been out sized like that. Bowe isn't out boxing Fury, he'll get out jabbed and with his slow feet will struggle to cut the ring off on Fury.

    Bowe can try to take the fight to the inside but even there, he won't have a little man he can physically bully up close like he did against Holyfield and so many others and he won't just have a big lug like Gonazalez who didn't know how to fight inside or even clinch well. If you watch that fight every time on the inside Gonzalez holds but he doesn't know what to do with his head and Bowe uses his and drives it into Gonzalez's throat to stand him up for the uppercut and overhand rights. Fury is adept enough inside to prevent that and showed vs Wilder he knows how important what you do with your head is to control your opponent in the clinch.

    Maybe if it's Bowe vs the Fury we saw in Wilder 3, who was walking in, not moving his head as much etc, yeah that Bowe I can see getting to Fury enough to win. But both at their best, then Fury beats him.

    Bowe simply didn't hit hard enough. He barely staggered Larry Donald after landing a sucker bare knuckled 1-2 in their press conference. He landed so many flush right hands on Holyfield in the first fight without hurting him much.

    If Fury can handle Wilder's power, he'll have no problem with Bowe's and he's a lot bigger.

    Fury would take the Klitchko approach and box this man, no need to brawl Riddick Bowe. Nobody wants to believe that Bowe would have struggled with a tall rangy boxer and mover, and Fury is capable of that as anyone, and golota just highlight what riddicks weakness are. Bowe was a bully!
