Riddick Bowe (Holyfield 1) vs Wlad Klitchsko from last Saturday

Bowe is not great Holyfield had an off night

 

I'm a massive Holyfield fan and can assure you, both men had a great night. It prompted a while shift in application and physiue from Holy to help him combat the big guys. That cannot be denied.

Anyone who has the comeback Holy had in the tenth round has to be near the top of their game. That Bowe came out well for the championship rounds after that shellacking shows his Elite-level grit as well, coupled with his aesthetically obvious abilities, there can be no doubt he deserves to be given the nod in a hypothetical match up with Wlad Klitschko.

The Golota from the first Bowe fight could cause Wlad all sorts of problems, might even get him outnof there before he starts punching him in the bollocks inexplicably :yep

 

Riddick Bowe was one of the most naturally talented HW's ever. Neither Wladamir or Vitali will ever be as talented as Bowe was. For a big HW, Bowe was a highly competent infighter. He could mix it up on the inside or outside as displayed against Holyfield!

He also showed, when in condition, he could fight at a hard pace. If only Bowe had the discipline, he would have regined for longer, there is no doubt about that! Eddie Futch walked away because Bowe was not discplined enough.

Wladamir is ponderous, Bowe would jump right on him! You can't just throw a jab then right hand against a peak Riddick Bowe. I'm sorry, it might be enough against a guy like Samuel Peter, who is no doubt a warrior, but standing there & shipping punishment does not win you fights!

 

Bowe versus Holyfield were great fights and the 1st one in particular was a classic.
