    Riddick Bowe vs Wladimir Klitschko and Vitali Klitschko

    How does he fair ? I think he loses to both but he has a good chance at beating Vitali. Wladimir would outbox and probably KO Riddick

    Neither.

    I mean, maybe he could stop Wlad, depending on Bowe's motivation and whether we're talking about Wlad before, during or after his association with Steward. But for the most part, probably not.

    Zero chance with Vitali.

    Bowe hits Wlad and he's gone, Vitali is a more interesting fight as he's more durable. They are debatable fights

    They both beat him. Golota showed what a big boxer with good fundamentals does to Bowe and both are way better then Golota.

    lol :lol:

    Exactly this. And funny he didn’t put the option ‘neither’ in his little poll. :lol:

    Bowe was never as dominant as prime Wlad was with Steward. 207lb Evander Holyfield had Bowe ready to go a few times. Especially in that 3rd fight! Even the 1st one Evander hurt Bowe. What would a sharp Wlad 1-2 or lead hook have done? Lol Herbie Hide (A Vitali victim) buzzed Bowe pretty good too.

    Vitali would’ve outboxed him. Don’t know about a stoppage but Vitali would’ve wore down Bowe with his heavy hands, toughness, strength and steady pressure. Vitali also had underrated reaction time too. Saw punches coming really well and rode them to take some steam off of them.

    He could beat both if he was really dialed in, and he’s got a better single win than either of the brothers, but the Klitschkos were far more consistent, so I’m leaning toward them.

    Bowe Vs Wlad is a 50/50 imo. Maybe a 55/45 to Wlad. Bowe can easily land something big and finish him though. Even if he gets caught first his superior toughness could get him through it.

    Against Vitali he may put up a decent fight but I don't see him winning.
