Primes: Riddick Bowe ~vs~ Wladimir Klitschko

Bowe was badly hurt by Hide

Klits will hurt him and not be careless.

 

Omg prime bowe would decapitate this version of wlad atsch

Bowe h2h gives most heavies probs in his prime and wlad is not on the same level

 

Klitschko would probably beat him in a boxing contest but Bowe always had the option of turning it into a dog-fight. I'm quite positive Bowe would opt to take a few punches to land a few of his own - i.e. force the fight on Wlad. He'd get to thim sooner rather then later and KO him. The fact that Bowe had excellent infighting skills supports this argument - Klitschko's clinching would not stop Bowe from ripping power shots in close quarters.

 

Im a big lennow lewis fan


I will never forgive bowe for not have the testicles to fight lewis, but i cant see for the life of me how people are picking china chinned wlad to beat bowe by ko atsch


He spossed to be in his prime now but if he fought bowe like he fought his last fight he would of been stopped for a 4th time :bbb

:smoke

 

Bowe had an awesome combination of technical ability and power. He was an absolute monster from 1990 to about 1994. I see a prime Bowe managing to work around Klitschko's jab and blast him to the body in the early rounds, slowing the jab down, giving him openings in the middle to late rounds to dispatch the Ukranian with short hooks and uppercuts. Would Klitschko have the heart to absorb all the punishment Holyfield did in that 10th round (often called the best heavyweight round in history)? I don't believe so.

 

I'll take bowe on points. Bowe was a great fighter and had the potential to be the GOAT.

 

Bowe takes this for me

 

Fight never happens as Bowe refuses to fight anyone his size except for Jorge Luis Gonzales.

 

Klitschko becomes discombobulated when he has to work outside of his comfort zone. Bowe's inside fighting would definitely put him into panic mode. Bowe, KO.

 

Bowe had one of the shortest "primes" of any fighter in history. Golota's jab had Bowe reeling in 2 fights. In fact Golota floored Bowe multiple times in both fights. No way does Golota's jab compare to Wladimir's in power, speed or accuracy. Andrew's right hand power is not what Klitschko posesses either.

Klitschko KO's Big Daddy.

 

Bowe wasn't exactly in his prime when he fought Golota, right? You could tell he was a shot fighter. His last decent performance was Holyfield 3 in 95 and even than you could see he was detoriating.
