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

You think briggs is good?

Demolishing golota and razor were fantastic wins that are part of the reason lewis is much greater than wlad.

But based on your response I must assume you have no idea what outfighting is.

 

I wouldn't call domolishing a drugged Golota a fentastic win! Or a Ruddock who was also annihilated by Divid Jaco and Tommy Morrison....

 

@lufc

Yes it might be equal to Lewis' outside game in terms of effectiveness. But it's not nearly as dynamic. How can it be he only has three punches in his repertoire!


Plus Wlad really has nothing else to go with other than his outside game. So really he has had to master it, Lewis as we know could do other things to win fights.

 

Can we not get a petition together to ban this ****!

Here Bubby remember when Wlad was drugged up against Brewster


Ruddock lost to Morrison 2 years after losing to Lewis so what. In a fight he could've carried on in.

 

I completely agree.

My only point is that on the outside, I see wlad and lewis in the same tier.

Whilst lewis is better than wlad on the inside, bowe is better than both inside so I don't think bowe ducked lewis due to his inside game.

 

These two victories would be easily in wlad's top 5.

I think you're doing a great disservice by calling them anything less than fantastic.

 

That's fair enough about them on the outside.
But to clarify, Wlad isn't nearly as dynamic on the OUTSIDE as Lewis. I wasn't saying it because Lewis has more on the inside or whatever. I was saying it because he can't do as many things on the outside as Lewis.
Like i said just as effective maybe? But nowhere near has dynamic.

Has for Bowe i think it was as much Rock Newman as it was Bowe not wanting Lewis. I don't think it was because of any inside game either. I think they avoided him because of his self belief, and because of his actual physical strength.
Something which Bowe isn't forgetting.

 

mate, surely you mean top 2 right?

 

I know exactly what outfighting is.

Wlad looks like a God when he keeps his distance against guys who don't match up to him in terms of height and reach.

The last time we saw Wlad in the ring with a reasonably good SHW - we all saw what happened. Wlado got his chin broken within 2 rounds.

Lewis, OTOH, had no problems whatsoever with SHWs. NONE.

So, based on Wlado's resume - and the lack of SHWs on it - I don't think there is any reason to believe that Wlado compares favorably to Lewis as far as outfighting is concerned.

And yes, the Briggs who faced Lewis was a good SHW. I'd favor him over anyone either Klitschko has faced recently.

 

:dealI agree with this post wholeheartedly.

Noone is forgetting how dynamic lewis was.

We agree both are equally effective :good

Bowe didn't want the fight. He **** his pants when lewis walked up to him and said he'd knock him out.

Also neither victory is as good as byrd imo.

 

I don't see how this post relates to what I said.

Shannon is wank. He was coming off a boxing lesson taught by a 50 year old dinosaur. He was atleast prime, but i'd never call him good.

I'd favour him over jmm, and austin out of wlad's opponents since becoming number 1.

Speaking of thin resume, have you seen shannon's the guy is incredibly overrated.

 

No & no

 

Really! Ok then what's Lewis' best win?

and how old are you lufc? Genuine question.


Saying those two wins would both make Wlad's top five i think shows already which patch a debate would take you down. Also i know no one is forgetting how dynamic Lewis was...stop patronising me.
