Wladimir Klitschko vs Riddick Bowe - in their primes - Who wins?

Living in the worst neighbourhoods in the USA is probably worse than the Ukraine. They have things like drive by shootings which I doubt they have in Ukraine. I’m reading Mike Tyson’s autobiography and he depicts Brownsville as being a complete cesspit. The Klitschko’s may have lived in a tiny flat but did they share that with 12 other siblings? Bowe’s brother died of aids and his sister was stabbed to death. Bowe had by far the worse upbringing compared to the Klitschkos.

 

I don't remember him struggling with Hide.

 

Klitchko UD, Bowe is vastly overated.

 

Bowe on points or late stoppage.better boxer with excellent jab and great inside game for a big guy.Bowes peak was short but not many HW s could beat him Vlad isn't one of them.

 

people are pointing out bowe has losses, but these were when he was clearly finished. Its like pointing out Eubanks losses when he was clearly out of it.

wlads got that string of losses to an even lower tier, when wlad was PRIME. Theres no excuse. His prime H2H ability is middling.


This takes nothing away from wlad being elite disciplined, possessing elite longevity and management. He has his qualities but being matched for H2H ability isnt one of them. His best wins are jokers like Haye and Pov, who werent even champions - Bowe was able to eat the top level of champions.

 

Bowe only had a couple of years on top, and Klitschko was on top for over 10 years. Bowe also lost to Holyfield and looked like **** against Hide. Golota whooped his ass too, right after he beat Holyfield.

Arguably Wlads prime was when Stuard was his coach and he only lost in the first fight with Manny to Brewster, who he defeated easily in the rematch. Which prime loses are you talking about?

 

Golota battered Bowe from Head to balls!!! he wasnt finished! he just werent bullying smaller men!!

 

all of them not one you manipulate out

 

I see you're too lazy to even check boxrec.

 

you're too lazy to notice i know his losses.

 

Not even close, who is Wlads best win? Bowe by KO inside 5. I saw Bowe get up and win before. I saw bums ko Wlad.

 

Wlad really did rely on clinching a lot but that wouldn’t work on the 6’5 235lb Bowe. Plus at some point Bowe will turn on the heat on Wlad and we know that Wlad is prone to panicking when under pressure.

 

And I saw Bowe get floored and almost KO’d by a 210lb Holyfield going through cardiac arrest.

Who did Bowe EVER face with even similar hand speed, reach, foot speed, power, jab and IQ of prime Wlad?? Maybe Lewis (Not as good but close) in Seoul? How did that turn out. I know it wasn’t the pros but Bowe threw his belt in the trash to avoid that! Lol


And Wlad’s best win... Prime Chagaev, Ibragimov, Haye, Peter, Botha, Povetkin... so many to choose from! And Bowe’s??? We already know. And he lost to that same guy too

 

Wlad is really underrated by some. He basically killed the division with such dominance. People say it was a weak era, but I’d wager that a prime Wlad in this era would do the same, and we’d be talking about this era being weak.
