I'm glad you brought up the Moorer point I was going to but lost interest. Holyfield was very good not a great he had a great chin but not that hard to outboox.
Wlad would stop that crack head within 8, Bowe was not that hard to hit and wlad is a big big puncher . If Golota could do it Wlad would definitely finish him
Why are 90s and on black HWs "prime" so short? Because it is a cop out. Tyson shot at 22, Bowe shot at 27. They just weren't very good is the answer.
Wlad fights in a 2nd , 3rd rate version of the 90's and he still lost badly to mediocre fighter's in it. He's never 'destroyed' anybody on Bowe's level. There is nothing in his entire career to suggest he would do that. Your assessment appears based off fanboism and not from logical a.nalysis. Bowe was trained by the great Eddie Futch. Rodger Mayweather took what little he learned from Fuch and passed it on to Flolyd who his the p4p #1. Flashes of Mayweather can be seen in Bowe , at his best in the early 90's Futch also gave Frazier the gameplan and was in his corner when he became the first man to beat Ali. Bowe operated at the higher level both skill wise and strategically than Wladimir Klitschko. Better chin, higher work rate, a more varied attack and an inside game that Wlad has none of. How does a man 'destroy' a guy with a superb inside when he has none himself? Bowe by stoppage before the 6th.
black ones. theres your answer. not asking about the white ones eh? for you, its just the black ones that weren't very good.... but why the black ones, mate?
Flashes of Mayweather can indeed be seen in Bowe. Just look at how they handled Lennox and Pacquiao- both are undefeated against them.
Wlad destroys Bowe. Then again Bowe wouldn't get in the ring with Wlad. Since he never got in the ring with Lewis, Tyson, Mercer, Morrison, Foreman, Holmes, McCall, Tucker, Ruddock etc. I guess there is Mayweather in him. You're talking about an all time great who has unified the belts and made 17 defenses and counting against a guy who was shot by 28 and threw his belts in the garbage to avoid his best challengers. Don't make laugh. Eddie Futch left Bowe because of his habits his whole reputation is made off of one fight with a blown up cruiser. Tubbs outboxed him, Mathis should of been awarded a DQ win against him and Golota beat the p*ss out of him. Bowe is so overrated it's criminal. Don't come with that weak sauce.
pretty much the same thing can be said of wlad, hes fought barely anyone, and never got in the ring with greats even when they were around, and been beaten by journeymen regularly. with one fundamental difference - boew has beaten an atg. so I have no idea where you can lift this wlad destroys bowe theory from
Saying it twice doesn't make it come true. Bowe got in the ring with Lewis when he was an 18 year old boy and was beating him before he became the victim of a corrupt stoppage. The same Olympics which saw Roy Jones also fall victim of said corruption. The worst the world had ever seen. And most likely will have ever seen. And Wlad is no Lewis. Lennox sparring partner who never beat anybody in the 90's to get a big fight managed to savage Wlad in the following era with he was inactive and past prime in just two rounds. Tyson you say? Wasn't he in prison? And you may want to watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Oo1Pa72uM Mercer lost his eliminator to Fergeson. Bowe fought the winner and knocked him out in the second round. Do some research ffs. Wlads rep is built off a timid performance against Haye and blown up and shot LHW Chris Byrd. In what universe does beating those two no marks make you better than Bowe who beat a genuine HW ATG who beat Douglas, Tyson, Holmes and Foreman? Golota gave him a few good rounds before Bowe turned it on him , dropped him , bust his face up till he could not continue. A fight is 12 rounds. Golota gave a good account but was out by the 7th. Again , in what universe is that beating the pss out of somebody? And Bowe was not at his best in that fight. If you want to go down that road.. Golota>> Purrity. Wlad was clowned by Purrity and the ring had to be rushed by his trainer to save him from a brutal KO. Against Purrity. Golota >> Purrity. And Wlad isn't? Who did he 'destroy' thats on the same level as Bowe? Whats his best win? Carl Froch can beat 20 Arthur Abraham clones. Doesn't mean he'll ever beat an Andre Ward.
The Golota fights put Bowe out of boxing for years when the dude was 28. How isn't that beating the pee out of somebody?
