Will there ever be a heavyweight championsip fight in this era like Bowe-Holy 1?

Good point, I guess to a degree I do look at Cunningham vs Mansour in a bit of a different light being that I have a different perception of them. But for me when it's bigger names and a bigger stage it elevates the fight for me..


Awesome! Good to know there are more than a handful of us still populating these boards.


Holyfield vs Dokes is literally ridiculous!! Both guys are pretty much flooring the gas all 10 rounds, what a WAR!!!!

 

THis.

And Hughie's only just getting started

 

-Yeah, it was a small stage fight between fringe contenders so could see that being a hang up but still, somehow more dramatic than most bigger stage title fights of the last decade. Seeing how much it meant to Cunningham though, and learning of his ill daughter in the post fight stuff, makes the fight that much emotional.


-Indeed, sometimes wander why I'm even here. But good to see a respectful poster not here to talk trash.

-Holyfield's best knockout too, marvelous combination.

 

I'm not satisifed with your rephrasing.

I want to know what you mean by "this era" , surely you can state this and save us all the trouble.

 

Well, JAB I don't have the time for you to figure out what you mean by "this era" or "true Champion"

So I'm staying with my picks: Brewster/Liakhovick and Lewis/Vitali.

I know you really want to ask the question "Will there ever be a Wladimir Klitschko fight like Bowe-Holy 1?" but you are accused of being obsessive so you use vague language to try to stir things in that direction.

If that is your real question. No, but no shame in that. The best Wladimir Klitschko fight since 2006 was Brock. Underrated performance from Brock, who employed sound strategy, subtle defense, and precise punch to beat the hell out of the big man's ribs before getting murdered by a right cross. Not a classic but a damn good fight.

 

So what you are really asking is will Wlad have a fight like Bowe-Holy 1? Who knows? Few have. Wlad has been fun fights before like Brewster 1, Peter I, and Brock. Can't rule out the possibility of him never being in one again, especially with age gradually slowing him down, giving his opponents more opportunity for drama.

 

Wlad has been too dominant for competitive matches.

But the division itself is still producing great matches:

-Mansour displayed some impressive hand speed and power, Cunningham fights his heart out, and Mansour is still battling on while blind in both eyes. Great, great fight. Quit bitching and watch some fights. I lived through the 80s and 90s, lots of **** than too.

I don't know I was just pointing out now good these guys were..I. Don't think any HW out there today is comparable to these guys ..

 

Nah have to disagree ,LL never showed an inside game as good as Bowe or Holyfield's those pulling the head down upper cuts is not an side game .LL was a good rangy fighter with devastating power that's what made him so good .

And the Klitchko's do they even throw uppercuts :think

 

He threw that upper from a good distance ,..I'm talking about close fighting ..I. Don't see him as skilled in that dept as Bowe or Holyfield . Holyfield was a better all around boxer than LL imo but LL had more power .

And by who is prime LL. Favored over a prime Holy ? Bowe yeah I could see that but their ametuer bout showed what could have been.
