    Is that what I said? Because I think you'll find that's not what I said. Nor do I consider that a prime Holyfield that he beat.

    Bowe seems to go down the Tyson route and go from PRIME to shot in a second.

    Quite simply, Bowe by KO.

    I don't think Wlad's chin could withstand Bowe's power shots.

    I am sick of this bull**** that I hear over and over and over and over. And no I am not referring to you specifically.

    What is Holyfield's prime? What is Bowe's prime?

    Well, his prime weight is cruiser. I don't think people can seriously argue that. So heavyweight with hepatitis Holyfield after some very brutal wars himself, was probably not in his prime in the third meeting with a super heavyweight Bowe. And again, after years of abuse to himself and his three ring wars with Holyfield, I only claimed that his prime was not in the Golota fights, after the third meeting with Holyfield. His yo-yo weight was as bad as Duran's. He simply was past it and he never achieved anything after Golota to prove otherwise. On the contrary his performance in Golota II and afterward build the case of him having steadily gone downhill.

    I think Bowe wins if he is in shape. 1993 Bowe.

    Wlad may be the better boxer, but the better fighter clearly is Bowe. Wlad can´t take a punch and he can´t take Bowe away all night. If Bowe is getting to him, it´s lights out Wlad.

    Its a no brainer , Prime bowe would ko wlad inside 5 rounds, u guys have to realise that Wlad wins cuz he has often style advantage over his smaller oponnents, bowe would be as big and as strong as wladimir and he would land his shots for sure ,only few of them re needed to turn the lights off for the younger brother.

    Bowe lacked the interlligence to make use of his reach and size. He rarely boxed like he was 6"5. He went into infights with a crouched back, standing toe-to-toe with small guys like if Bowe himself thought he was 6"0.

    Depends if Wlad feels like fishing the belt out of the bin.

    First you say Golota is better than Bowe then you say Bowe-Wlad could go either way. 1996 Golota could have made a painful evening for any version of Wlad. Golota's jab was wicked, he threw 3-4 punch combinations at will, he could fight inside, he could fight moving backwards, and he had the size, strength and chin. An amazing waste of talent.

    He was a considerable talent but he'd get DQ'd against Wlad. Wlad would clinch him and Golota would drive his head into him or bite his throat out like a Cheetah on a gazelle.

    Bowe is big and can punch. That is enough to beat Wlad.

    In addition, prime Bowe (from Bowe - Holyfield 1) had a great chin, good stamina, excellent in fighting ability including a wicked uppercut, heart, desire, a stiff jab, good handspeed.

    Basically, prime Bowe can fight..........and then some. He stops Wlad, no question.

    "Considerable" is an understatement. If that boy had the mental capcity of Adamek he'd have cleaned out the division something fierce.
