Wladimir Klitschko vs. Riddick Bowe. Prime for Prime. Who wins?

There goes any credibility you thought you had.....................

 

In his absolute prime, which wasn't long, Bowe wins.

 

And I guess your argument about Wlad completely dominating the division would be that it's only because of his size and reach, right?

 

I thought Golota beat Byrd pretty easily, the Ruiz fight was a bit closer but I still gave the nod to Andrew.

 

If the actual size of the arms, neck, chest, etc. mattered as much as you think then Valuev & Tye Fields would be the biggest punchers ever in the sport. They aren't...............

As far as chin is concerned Brewster bounced Golota off the canvas 3 times in the first half of the first round. Brewster couldn't even knock Wlad down when Wlad's hands were at his sides & he was clearly exhausted.

 

How so? Bowe couldn't take a punch.

 

Exactly, he was waiting for the uppercut to knock him out sooner in the Lewis fight... Andrew "choked".
That fight was a disgrace and his ass choked...
He cheated us all.

 

Agreed.

I thought Golota got robbed against Ruiz...

 

No, no. I give Golota credit but I'm without doubt that he didn't fight the best version of Bowe also. Golota showed a ****load of heart and skill in those fights. Actually, he was never the same after Bowe II, just as Bowe was never the same after Holy. Those fights were brutal.

 

Bowe took lots of punishment in his fights. That's why he is the way he is now. His ability to take shots and his great stamina makes me think he would win against Klitschko. Bowe was shot by the time he fought Golota.

 

Then he is the greatest of all time.

Winning a single boxing match against a pro, without using boxing skills, would be miraculous. But doing what Wlad has done?

He is the greatest man who ever lived.

 

Golota showed a lot of heart in the Bowe fights? The man DQ'd himself on purpose both times. How the hell does that show a "****load of heart"?

 

Could anybody imagine a prime "bowe" losing to ross purrity, corrie sanders or lamon brewster. Wlad has been dropped 8 or 9 times by far less punchers than "bowe". Bowe would win this fight quiet early, within 3 rounds!

 

Did you actaully see the 3rd fight with Holyfield? Although Bowe won by TKO, he was hardly looked impressive doing so.

But nevertheless I do no say that Bowe was past prime when whe fought Golota. I think the Bowe in the rematch with Golota looked every bit of his prime self.

 

Technically Golota stopped Grant in one. That one could have been ruled KO.
