    Bowe is also a bum these days while his ex-redneck manager Rock Newman still lavishes in the sun at some holiday resort as a welathy man in retirement................. I'm not saying that Newman ever robbed Bowe, but Newman OBVIOUSLY handled his own money / take a whole lot better than Bowe did...........

    I realize that the "K" brothers are the Kings right now and making huge bucks, however, when it is finally over for them in the ring I do NOT envision them being totally broke and living in poverty later in life........ The "K" brothers and their team seem a whole lot smarter than that.............

    Prime Vitali at 245 lbs against a 205 lbs Bowe would be a complete mismatch. He'd toss Bowe around like a rag doll.

    Bowe would back out of the fight, throw whatever belt he holds in the trash, and then go on to fight Vinny Madalone saying he's more of a challenge than Vitali.

    I doubt if Bowe would have worked up the nerve to take this fight, given his reluctance to fight dangerous opponents.

    And perhaps that would be wise on his part.

    The only question here would be if he could last 12 or get stopped.

    I see a wide UD for Klitschko.

    And Bowe never beats a serious opponent thereafter. He's ruined.

    Bowe's run to the title, meaning the competition he faced leading up to winning the title, is easily better than Vitali faced during his championship defenses. The more I ask people to break down the depth of Vitali's resume, the more the ignorant responses arise. Nothing to back up anything, which proves what I already know about the majority of people who are posting in this thread. That they just dont know anything about the history or standings of his opponents, which in reality are mediocre at best.

    Most of the decades in heavyweight boxing are / were filled with "Mediocre" challengers, etc....... Only the 70's and 1990's really stand out in terms of all around greatness in my book............. The 80's were NOT all that bad in the talent department, either...... If anything, the problem with the 80's fighters were, lack of dedication..... The talent was there........ But the 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and current state of affairs lacked or is lacking some serious grit......... Cheers.......

    It's safe to say there's more chance of VITLAY quitting than Bowe, seeing as he's done it before - against a guy that can't punch for toffee too :patsch:rofl

    Nothing compares to how shallow the division is currently.

    Vitali can not fight backing up. Bowe would made a war out of this and push Vitali back. Bowe is the more complete fighter, good jab and terrific inside fighter. Vitali would clinch every time they get in close.
    I favour Prime Bowe in a back and forth battle.
