Bowe beats him but Wilder would be a VERY live dog. 70/30 Bowe. But Wilder can always clip him as Bowe wasn’t exactly Willie Pep in the defense category. Bowe got hit often.
Bowe is a far better fighter. Wilder has that "punchers chance" but I'm backing quality over one dimensional boom, even if it's a big boom.
Bowe's inside game often created problems for him. But he is far too versatile and had too good a chin to not win this.
People would pick current Lennox Lewis over Wilder around these parts, Wilder could ice durable guys with a so-so defence and in a 3 fight series I’d be shocked if Bowe didn’t get got once.
Bowe gets up off of the deck to stop Wilder, he would get clipped at times Bowe down the middle and Wilder is dangerous, he could even stop him if he lands clean enough, but I think Bowe survives and grinds him down to win most times.
