    Joe Frazier
    Larry Holmes
    Wladamir klitchko
    And George foreman

    All 12 rounds and in their primes, how you think Riddick holds up here?

    I'd pick him over Wlad, seems all wrong for him.

    I'd give him an edge over Frazier too.

    Not sure about Holmes.

    I think I'd give Foreman an edge over Bowe.

    That's in Bowe's prime which lasted about as long as a paper plate.

    Loses to all of them.

    I don't have a doubt in my mind on any but Foreman.

    This..I'd favor him over Klitschko but that's it. The rest are cream of the crop.

    Bowe wouldn't stand the least chance against Wlad.

    And you think that Golota damaged him.

    I concur but I have the least doubt about Foreman.

    Bowe's lack of defense and I think not outstanding chin would see him i a world of pain with prime George.

    Golota had alot of talent. More than Wlad in a few areas. Andrew may beat the hell out of Wlad before he suffers a panic attack.

    Golota had nowhere near the talent of Wlad. Not even in the same league. Perhaps that is why one dominated the division for 10 years and the other only shined against a depleted, lazy fighter on his last legs.

    The Bowe who got in the ring the first time against Holyfield would be competitive against anyone. Big man with outside and inside skills, mental toughness(in the ring), chin, and good power. He depreciated very quickly after that night.

    Yea but Wlad couldn't endure a beating like Bowe could.
    I see Golota stopping him.

    As if Wlad would ever in a million years fight 3 back to back fights with Bowe and Lennox Lewis. :nut::nut::nut:

    Maybe Golota could have done what WK did if hired Manny Steward to help him through the worst HW era known to people-kind. :smile:

    If I had to, thats what I would bet.

    Bowe, an agressive, non defense first pressure fighter gets WK in trouble on backfoot. Of course a WK rocket could end things.

    Too much power, too agressive style. TKOs Frazier.

    Holmes - Bowe would become an competitive fight, ending in an Holmes win over the rounds. Too tough, better jab and and teriffic footwork.

    Bowe wouldn´t box Foreman --> Firefight. Bowe comes up short.

    Yea right. Golota's problem was no mystery. He had mental and emotional problems or panic attacks during fights he was winning. Andrew had tremendous talent, size, power, quick hands etc.
    He was more fluid than Wlad, better coordinated, threw better combinations. Wlad was taller and not handicapped with those issues between his ears.

    Dont just watch the Bowe fights. Look at the his bout with Michael Grant. He beat the hell out of Grant, put him down 3 times before snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    The good news for Golota is that Wlad probably couldn't hang in there long enough to make his problems come to the surface.
