Bowe from the 1st Holyfield fight vs: a) Fury from the Wlad fight (defensive, faster) b) Fury from the 2nd Wilder fight (offensive, heavier) The offensive version of Fury would have much trouble since Bowe likes a war. In the shape of his 1st Holy fight he was at his career best, and not many HWs in history would have beaten him. So i definately see him winning against b. The Fury from the Wlad fight was very light, but also much faster and sharper. His offensive was terrible, but his defense was at it´s best. Wlad never found the distance and was so confused he almost didnt let a hand go...if he did 95% did not connect. Bowe is a warrior with chin, heart and power...but not so much speed, especially not footspeed. So a would be a thougher matchupt thats for sure. Lennox Lewis was faster then Bowe so imo he had a much better chance to conenct with the a version of Fury, if Bowe could not, he would most likely face a UD loss. I still believe somehow Bowe would win against the a version Fury...but if Fury wins a UD or SD i would not be surprised.
Fury from the Chisora rematch or Klitschko fight would absolutely school him, Bowe would be constantly eating jabs with his plodding movement and lack of head movement, he would would be looking to get inside, but Fury would be constantly landing that jab, after a bit he would start mixing it up, lead left hooks, and combinations and just avoiding whatever Bowe threw back, he's not exactly quick or explosive on the counter, so I see Fury seeing everything coming and peppering Bowe the whole fight
Fury but an upset is not out of the question. Fury sometimes wins rounds throwing ten punches and landing two more. Bowe could really set it off when he was in shape, and I think him and Holy was some kind of record for punches thrown.
Bowe had trouble with guys who could box and effectively use the jab to poke through his porous defense. With fury having the reach, jab, better defense and the ability to take a good punch I think he wins a wide decision
