Wladimir Klitscko V Riddick Bowe, Make A case For Your Winner.?

It's funny that it's comming from your mouth.

 

Is it though?

Are all of your facts like this one?

 

Don't answer to question with a question.

Wlamidir has a better resume than Bowe, deal with it.


Got any more commands?lol

 

Okay, now is your chance to name them!

 

Bowe stopped Biggs .

 

Yes a washed up Briggs who still managed to give Riddick Bowe all he can handle, just like Tony Tubbs another washed up fighter who gave Bowe all he could handle.

Bowe never showed a great outside game, and never really showed he could beat a really good skilled big man. The best fighter he fought of similar size was Golota and he got annihilated twice.

Now peoples argument for that will always say "Bowe was shot". And i would agree he wasn't the same fighter he was in 1992. But he was still ranked number 1 Heavyweight in the world at the time, so Golota deserves credit for schooling Bowe twice. And i think enough evidence was shown, that Bowe had great trouble with Golota's size, jab, reach, etc.

I pick Bowe to win this mythical match up, but really Bowe's resume is paper thin outside of the Holyfield fights. He never truly tested himself against the best of that era.

 

I don't remember. They were in that thread that collected everybody's Ring ranked opposition. I've been trying to re-locate it for a while now, but haven't found it.

A quick glance at the Boxrec collection of annual rankings from Ring shows the following:

2000 - Chris Byrd (#10, rated #3 the following year)
2002 - Jameel McCline (#10)
2005 - Samuel Peter (#9)
2006 - Defeats Brock and Byrd. Both unranked for 2006, but ranked the year before. I assume they would have been ranked in the month he fought them; especially Byrd, who was IBF champion.
2008 - Sultan Ibragimov (#6)
2009 - Ruslan Chagaev (#4)
2010 - Eddie Chambers (#6)
2011 - Beats Haye, who is not listed for 2011, but was #2 the year before and a beltholder when they fought. Again, he would have been ranked in the month Wlad fought him. Haye was also ranked the year after they fought.
2013 - Alexander Povetkin (#2)
2014 - Kubrat Pulev (#4)
2015 - Bryant Jennings (#8)


There are a couple others he beat who might have been ranked later (e.g. Barrett), and I could have also missed a few, since this was a very rough check. There are also a few others that suffer from the fact that we only have year-end ratings on Boxrec. The monthly ones would probably have several more; I remember some of the other guys being ranked when Wlad fought them.

So more than 5-6.

 

I didn't, I quoted older post from different topic showing that Wlamidir beat 15 ranked opponents, not 5-6 like you said.

Thanks. Do you have the link to the original thread?

 

Sure:

Negative on Sam Peter, he beat nobody going into 2005. In that year not even Klitscho was ranked top 10.

Peter entered the top 10 after two wins over an obese middleweight. All the signs of a woeful era right there

 

Klitschko would catch him late with a nasty shot and win by KO but it would be a very difficult task and he'd be scared for his life everytime Bowe gets in range

 

Bowe struggled with even modest punchers like Holy and Golota, and they steered him away from guys like Lewis and Mercer. Wladdy, who had an arsenal of power punches, would are wrong for him.

Also, Bowe's vaunted ability to infight was a function of the fact that he didn't know how to fight his height, which is why his best wins were against cruisers Holyfield and Hide.

Wlad climbs off the canvas for a late stoppage.

 

Here's a start, not quite the one you mention i reckon.
