Riddick Bowe vs Vitali Klitscho

Bowe. Those uppercuts on the inside would be coming all night long. It's great that he could take one from Lennox but a few dozen from Bowe and the shows coming to an end.

 

Bowe.

 

Both fighters are pretty enigmatic, in the sense that their primes were relatively short, and we can't really accurately guage how good they actually were.

Bowe's prime was pretty much encapsulated in and around Holyfield I, whilst Vitali's was in a stoppage loss to Lewis - albeit in unfortunate circumstances for him.

If I had to stick my neck out I'd say the Bowe of Holyfield I would have too much for the Klitschko that faced Lewis.

Vitali's jab would cause Bowe a few problems at various points, as would his right hand punches, but he is (and always has been) fairly robotic in his movements rather than the fluid puncher that was Holyfield - Bowe's ability to fight upclose effectively and shoot uppercuts would win the day.

Bowe TKO11 Vitali.

All three cards 97-93 or similar.

 

bowe

 

i agree. i think the bowe from the first bowe-holyfield clashes. is to much for klitschko

 

Vitali's got that good jab. But Bowe's got better power, technique and is good on the inside. Anyone who can give Evander that much trouble, I'd favor to beat the best version of Vitali.

Bowe wins a decision.

 

Bowe by TKO, easy fight.

 

Styles make fights, but if Bowe was shot and washed-up by a youthful age 29 in 1996, then he really wasn't all that great, but rather merely good at age 25 to 28 yrs of age.....

No real brain scanner is needed here... Klitschko would be a nightmare for Bowe in the ring....... V.K. has a good jab with awesome power in both hands, along with a sturdy chin and tight defense.....

Vitali Klit would KTFO of Bowe similar to the way the lesser Andy Golota did......... Klitschko is head and shoulders above Golota in every sense of the game, as well............

If Byrd can turn VITLAY into a gibbering pile of quittage then I dread to think what Riddick Bowe would do :shock:

Bowe by late round stoppage, it wouldn't be all that competitive either...he'd be up by 5 or 6 rounds on the cards.

 

Bowe; betterjab, faster hands, better infighter, as good chin. Vitali gets stopped in the 10th.

 

I can see this as well.

However - I find it difficult to pick a guy who had his best performance in a stoppage loss to an old, overweight fighter - especially against a guy who defeated a peak Evander Holyfield.
