    Forget the bias this will bring/has brought out. I think it's either man's and would probably turn into one of the most intense fights you could come up with between two super heavies.

    Probably, Bowe doesn't punch as hard as Lewis so cuts come later most probably.
    And Vitali can also brawl like Bowe.

    Would be an exciting fight.

    When Lewis closed the distance against vitali he fukd his life up. Bowe will take vitali into similar deep waters and he is infintely better on the inside.

    Bowe might force a stoppage in the late rounds here. He had just had much better fighting spirit than vitali.

    nice post. The only thing I question is the spirit of Bowe. I don't think he was durable and this is not just about the Golota fight. Even with Evander. Bowe could not take much punishment. He was even wobbled by Biggs if I remember correctly.

    Bowe could be hurt but he always recovered from it. Maybe if holy had more in the tank he'd have forced the stoppage in the rubber match but he didn't and it was bowe who recovered to stop him.

    Against golota bowe proved he doesn't have an ounce of quit in him. Golota fought better in them two fights than he ever would do again. He threw everything he had at Bowe and Bowe kept coming. Golota quit in both fights because he couldn't put him away.

    Vitali on the other hand has quit when signs of adversity have been shown.

    That mentality can be the difference here because this will be a straight up war and like I read earlier, probably the best fight you can make with two super heavyweights.

    Very hard fight to pick (for me any way) both vitali and bowe would not my choice to stand beside me in battle . Vitali has the added disadvantage of the real chance of getting cut here on the other hand bowe really didn't have that many top performances . Logic says vitali but I have a gutt feeling bowe could well get a win here via stoppage due to facial damage
