    Wlad would KO Bowe. Bowe's crowning glory is a trilogy with a small heavy that he only won the series because of an advantageous case of hepatitis. Hide, Donald, all little. Golota was the only good big Bowe ever faced.

    Wlads very weak chin would be sparked early, Bowe on the inside would be too much for Wlad, who does nothing but excessively hold, he doesnt even have a uppercut to protect himself against Bowes onslaught on the inside. Bowe by TKO in 3.

    Thanks. I think Lennox had more of a mean streak and killer instinct when he was being tested. Whereas, Wlad seems to get more cautious when he is being pressed. Lennox had a tendency to get complacent with the jab and not finish as early as he could. I think this allows Bowe to hurt him early, maybe even floor him by round 5, but not stop him. Lennox gets up with a vengeance and, although he never drops Bowe, he whoops him in a UD. A one-sided fight from Round 6 on for LL.

    I pick Riddick. He was the better fighter in my mind. Riddick fought guys his size and still won. Riddick was a very good fighter who didn't have much discipline, but most heavyweights don't.

    1. Bowe could never handle guys his own size.
    2. Wlad is bigger and better than Golota who owned Bowe twice.

    You would have to be quite a nuthugger to say Bowe here.

    As much or more than you made off Iggy's win over Wlad?

    I am quite suprised by the amount of people writing off Bowe hear.

    Bowe's prime was short but at his best he is one of the more skilled and naturally gifted heavyweights to have laced them up.

    I would certainly pick him over Wlad.

    People judge Bowe far to much on the Golota fights..watch him whilst he was up and coming and in his early reign..he is a great heavyweight fighter to watch and I rarely say that about modern day heavies.

    not a nuthugger, I just do not think much of the Klitchkos. I think they have this huge size and a good jab, but the guys they are fighting are in a weak division. You really think the Klitchkos would last long with a guy as good as Mike Tyson who weighed in at 255? and was 6ft 1? That would be the equivalent of Tyson nowadays in size the way heavyweights are now, and Mike would demolish Vlad in one and Vitali in 3.
