    I have a strong opinion on this match, as anyone whose read me on the subject will know. I will refrain from voting until it's done, though. Poll lasts 24 hours.

    What say you, classic?

    prime bowe ko's wladdy.wlad may win some rounds,but sooner or later bowe is gonna catch him with uppercuts and hooks in the clinch.bowe has the chin to eat some shots so he can get in a position to demonstrate his elite inside skills and end the fight.

    Bowe could not handle tall fighters with good jabs(see golota). Just imagine fighting a post 2006 Wladimir Klitschko who has also KO power in both fists. Bowe's defense is way too leaky to handle Wladimir Klitschko's jab, right hand, and overall offense. Wlad would pick him apart from the outside.

    Certain I already posted in this thread - must have used invisible ink :huh

    Same post again then >>>

    The Riddick Bowe that beat Holyfield beats Wlad IMO.

    Bowe takes his head off with an uppercut on the inside, anywhere from rounds 6-9.

    I appreciate Wlad's dominance in this era but absolutely no doubt Bowe gets him on the end of a combination, puts him down, and finishes him around the 6th or 7th.

    People just don't realize how good Wladimir Klitschkos jab is, and just how hard he is. Bowe can't handle Wlad's jab, and he can't handle Wlads power. Bowe hated fighting tall fighters.

    Wlad's jab is nice but he paws with it far too much. Bowe would come over it sooner or later and hurt him.

    Can you at least see the criticisms of Wlad without calling him underrated.. because really, Bowe would give him a fight whether you like it or not.

    Great fighters are supposed to rematch people they lost to or had a tough fight with, Wlad did this for the most part but he really dropped the ball with Sanders.. I'm sure Sanders would have loved that paycheck.

    As far as Bowe not wanting to fight someone like Wlad, that's fine but neither would Wlad. Wlad cannot fight on the inside.

    Prime Bowe is big, has a great jab, can fight from both outside or inside, and has a great chin.

    Wlad has an amazing jab, really good power, iffy chin, and strictly an outside fighter. Wlad panics when he gets hit which he will while facing a fighter like Bowe.

    I'd say Bowe stops him Mid-Late rounds.
