    Bowe TKO or KO 8. Bowe could compete with anyone on the outside and had the
    best inside game and a ruthless never say die attitude. Can't see Vitali out pointing
    Bowe. Bowe's jab and physicality would be too much for that. Klitchsko
    will get cut from a flush shot and destroyed on the inside.

    A very tough fight ... if the Bowe from Holyfield 1 showed up ... any other Vitali wins ...

    Bowe has the size, range, jab, willingness to fight on the inside, determination inside the ring, toughness, and overhand right to tag Vitali when he tries to lean back. I wouldn't say that Vitali is made for Bowe, but he certainly does play to Bowe's strengths.

    Vitali. Bowe lacked defense, and was not as durable or smart.

    Vitali couldn't KO Arreola, hes not KOing Bowe. Vitali doesn't
    have big time power, or the technical skill to outpoint Bowe.
    Vitali likes his opponents to find his height and reach troublesome and
    become passive. If Bowe steps up the aggression ala the Gonzalez fight
    Vitali wont have a prayer..

    Bowe beats the overrated Vitali from pillar to post.

    Bowe does everything better than Vitali, apart from defense. Vitali isnt much of concussive puncher so i dont see him stopping Bowe.
    Bowe takes Vitali into deep waters and drowns him

    Bowe is a lot more proven and durable than the guys Vitali wasnt able to KO

    It took Vitali 8 to do Danny Frigging Williams

    I can't forget the Byrd fight. Bowe had more heart imo.

    A good, hard fight. I lean towards Bowe but he'd have to be at his best.
