    People have apparently not watched Bowe Vs Biggs and tubbs.
    His hype was made off of a single fight Vs a 205lb Holyfield who charged into him trying to knock him out and was engaging into unnecessary wars Vs cooper Holmes Stewart etc.

    Bowes win over him imo is one of the most misleading wins in HW history, especially because it was such a great fight which lets people forget that Holyfield was struggling against everyone at that time and fought a technically moronic fight completely wasting his footspeed advantage.

    Fury on points.

    Bowe liked beating on little guys, featherfists and big stiff idiots. He liked guys that came to him. Fury is extremely awkward and elusive and he would frustrate Bowe to no end. Bowe's footwork isn't good enough to close the ring off on Fury. Maybe Bowe could win in a half size ring.

    Bowe was too overwhelming overall. Fury would have ended up like Gonzalez, getting brutally worn down and ultimately going all elasti-canvas.

    Bowe had the jab. Plus, his looping overhand only, consistently got through on taller guys. If Fury couldn't take Deontay's shot than Bowe would murder him cumulatively.

    Wilder is faster and more explosive than fatboy Bowe. I question how much Bowe would really manage to land. That big, telegraphed overhand right would give Fury enough time to have coffee and a donut before it whooshed on past ;)

    Wilder is a terrific puncher, Perhaps I just like Bowe better. :)

    Bowe is a more complete fighter than Wilder who lacks fundamentals

    Footwork fight and that difference is as wide as it gets. Any plodder is going to have a real hard time with fury.

    Bowe > Wilder, agree.

    But Wilder hits harder and faster. That was what troubled Fury. Bowe is significantly slower than Wilder, and that will be a problem.

    Really tough one. I would be equally unsurprised by Fury running and dancing to a points win or by Bowe catching him and stopping him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

    Fury would just win every round and make him look like the scares guy that threw the wbc title in the bin, and change him from looking like when he was calling out Lewis post fight
