    wlad would never survive that battle without beeing KD, and he would lose to either one..
    wlad wouldn't be able to keep the distance with neither golota or bowewith his jab so he would be forced to get into a close fight which would send him into lala-land in 5 or 6 rounds.. wlad is just no fighter, sure he can box but he lacks the spirit of a fighter/warrior which makes me believe that if he fought in the tough 90's today he would be remembered just like another Grant

    who has a better chance fighting Riddick Bowe.... Vitali or Vlad?

    I'd say Vitali, only because he wouldn't allow himself to get hit often. Vitali can punch backward avoiding some of Bowe's attack.

    On the contrary, Vlad doesn't have the defensive skill of Vitali. This fight can go either way.

    Brewster? His punches impressed "iron chined" Golota much more than he impressed Wlad.

    Wlad is not anywhere near an ATG puncher
    Bowe TKO 8

    On the other hand, Bowe was never an ATG puncher nor an ATG anything. No ATG jab, no ATG footwork, no ATG handspeed, no ATG stamia, no ATG chin, no ATG general ringmanship. Maybe ATG talent but that doesn't make you great if you don't have the right mindset to fill it out.

    If you look at Bowe's complete pro track record it's littered with mediocrity and inconsistency.

    Either Wlad nor Bowe had an opponent who can make this clear.
    Wlad never had an opponent that was as tall and tough as Bowe.
    And Bowe never had an opponent that was bigger than him and could punch the living **** out of him in couple clear shots.
    This thread a pure speculation.

    I think Bowe would stop Wlad. At his best, Bowe was just a cut above. Wlad is a very solid champion, but against a big, strong, powerful boxer like Bowe, he would come up short. Bowe would smash him to bits on the inside.

    Remember his fight against Gonzales? He could not smash him. He was bullied him to ropes and then did nothing. By that time he would had his head shot off his body if he faced Wlad.

    What makes you think Bowe could escape Wlad's octopus grip? In all likeliness there would be very few punches successfully traded on the inside, if any.
