And thats your indicator as to why he`d struggle with Vladimir or even loose? Wow. Seriously Wow.atsch The jury rests.
Povetkin will derail the Waldo express once more. And that'll probably be the last time we have to talk about Klitschkos and the top level ever again.
C`mon dude.Seriously nostaligia aside have you even seen a young Foreman fight? This guy was a MUDEROUS puncher. Probably P4P along with Shavers one of the hardest heavy punchers of all time. And you really believe a gun shy Vlad has the tools to beat Foreman? The reality is this. As good as Vlad is his the best of a VERY weak bunch. If this was the 90`s Vlad wouldnt be a title holder and would barely scrape the top 15.
Wladimir would beat the living **** out of Bowe. He'd be mumbling worse than he does today. Look what Golota did to Bowe twice. Wladimir has a better jab & more power than Golota so do the math.
That version of Bowe was already slurring his words and not training properly. Bowe at his best (first Holy fight) against any version of Wlad right now and I'd give the edge to Bowe. His defense was a bit better. Their long range offense is comparable. But Bowes inside offense is what would win it in my opinion. No big man had the skills Bowe did on the inside. If Wlad couldn't get him out of their early, I'd expect Bowe to wear him down and stop him in 7. Jmo.
Wlad gets his ass kicked H2H by a lot of guys. B/c he does not like to fight. If you get past his jab and take a fight to him he is fish food.
The 92-93 version of Bowe would destroy Wlad, Bowe is one of the few Heavyweight champs that can fight just as well on the outside, as he could on the inside, where I would go as far as to say he was the best inside fighter over 6'3. Wlad's weak mental state and glass chin, would not hold up well against the strong chinned, Heavy handed puncher. Bowe could easily win this fight on pressure alone, which Wlad cant handle, on the inside Bowe's uppercut could do serious damage to Wlad, when he brings his arms out wide to try and tie up with Bowe, it would really only be a matter of time before Bowe gets him out of there, I myself perdict it would be over around the 3rd or 4th round, where by that time Wlad will be tired from the panic attacks and having to pick himself off the canvas the last couple rounds, to want to continue fighting on, the ref would probably wave it off.
Could Wlad take the right hands from Bowe that Golota did? Please, take your blinkers off for a minute.
Ibeabuchi would crush Wladimir, I agree.. Tua on the other hand I don't know about.. as devastating as prime Tua was let's not forget that even then he was being outboxed by Maskaev and Rahman. Unless ofcourse you're just going by a puncher's chance.
That's laughable, not only was Bowe faded by that time but also prime Golota would've given Wladimir just as much trouble. Even though I'd give the edge to Wlad in a fight with Golota.
