Wladimir Klitschko is overrated on a H2H basis.

    I'd take Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, Wlad, Bowe, and Holyfield all over Ali.

    I def. agree that Bowe was the far better inside fighter but Bowe's defense sucked - period.

    You failed in changing my opinion. Bowe was way too easy to hit and Golota never had the power of a Klitschko right hand yet he hurt Big Daddy regularly throughout both fights. Golota & Bowe both also had good jabs but Klitschko's is much better than eithers.

    So I guess Bowe had the shortest "prime" of any HW fighter then huh?

    well at this point in the heavy division theres not a man out there that can beat him, i agree he does have a qustionable chin, i was really hoping in his brewster rematch brewster would come out and take the fight to wlad and see how much he has inporved according to emanuel, but at this point wit his jab which i believe is one of the top ten and his straight right hand there is noone that will be able to bring him down, a rematch with peter well wlad knows his power and wat he can and cant do, if wlad just focus on jabs and uppercuts peter will go down

    Klitschko's jab is inconsistent. A lot of times it seems like he merely tries to cruise behind it and use it as more of a distraction that may work well with smaller, less dimensioned fighters but not against Bowe. He'll have to turn up the heat more sooner than later and when he gets to that point he'll fold. I pick Bowe by a mid rounds TKO. Golota was hurting Bowe but he was also giving him a sustained beating that still wasn't enough to finish him off.

    Bowe = good jab, right hand, uppercut, chin, stamina, in-fighting.

    Klitschko = good jab, right hand, and on few occasions left hook, nothing else.
