    Would prime Bowe become belt holder or even undisputed champion nowadays ?
    Which modern day HW would be the most dangerous for him : Klitschko, Fury, Haye, Joshua, Wilder, Ortiz, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev ?

    Most would duck him until he represents 1996 Bowe more.

    '92 Bowe would tear thru this current crop with relative ease...

    Bowe vs Ortiz would be a fun fight.

    Bowe destroys them all , it would be funny to see him vs Vlad. He would be holding on for dear life.

    overating bowe.
    he was a big man / but was a give and take fighter in his prime which was the holyfield triolgy.

    wilders speed would give bowe a lot of problems ala herbie hide
    joshua is still learning but is just as big as bowe with solid fundamentals
    klitchko is still dangerous and bowe was quite easy to hit.
    fury non engagement style would not suit bowe.

    boiwe would be a title holder / but the undisputed champ i doubt it /

    moot anyway as rock newman never let bowe in with any of the punchers of the day / which rules joshua/wilder/klitchko out

    newman would aim for fury.
