2010 Wladamir Klitschko vs 1992 Rid**** Bowe

I would agree with this. By this time Bowe wasn't getting in shape the right way and had lost some of his reflexes in my opinion. I could see Wlad capitalizing on this, slowing the pace down and winning a decision here.

I remember Bowe going in the Marines, I think it was, and lasting less than a week in basic training. Classic underachiever. Too bad we didn't get to see him against Lennox Lewis. Who knows? Maybe he'd have refused to fight Wlad as well.

Im pretty sure if Golata had all that sucess bar the low blows and was beating the snot out of Bowe Im pretty sure Wlad could had even more sucess possibly stopping Bowe. As for Purity and Brewster they were getting the beatin of there lives until Wlad ran out of gas. You saw what Wlad did to Brewster in the rematch, He beat him with literally one hand behind his back. Sanders is the only real loss on his record. Who Wlad said only train for 2 weeks before the fight. Also if you take away Holyfield off of Bowe resume, I don't think you would have even heard of him.

The fights with Golota are irrelevant to the '92 Bowe. Bowe was not the same fighter at all. The only reason I used the Sanders, Purrity and Brewster fights was to show that Wlad does have a history of being stopped, where as Bowe does not.

As far as taking Holy off Bowes resume....why would we do that? Bowe beat an all time great heavy, in his prime, and while he was on top. That in my opinion tops anything Wlad has done.

bowe wouldve mangled wlad.too big,strong,and mobile.bowe wouldnt have had to work his way inside to land on wlad unlike the guys wlad fights today.and bowe had probly the best uppercut for a big guy in heavy history,which would do some serious work once bowe got inside

There isnt anybody out there that can realy push Wlad to the limit unless you cross your finger and hope to god that he tires out. You make good point though. Wlad jab is freakish and and doesn't take risks ala Maywether. Bowe would have to take some punishment to get inside, But if he did that Wlad would just tie him up like he does everybody else.

Vitali vs Bowe is what I would make the poll to be.

I would pick the '92 Bowe against Vitaly too. The Lewis fight was arguably his best showing. But going life and death against and old Lewis doesn't inspire me to pick against a prime Bowe. That said, I think Vitaly makes for a much tougher and much much more entertaining fight than Wlad.

Bowe was certainly an under achiever. No argument about that.

A Peak Bowe would wipe the floor with both the Klits.

Like he did Golota?


Both Klits smash any version of Bowe into little pieces.

That was neither peak Bowe, nor the '92 Bowe which was specified.

Both Klits smash any version of Bowe into little pieces.

How about giving us some reasons on why you think this besides general nuthuggery? Bowe has beat an all time great heavyweight who was prime and undeafeated and undisputed. Who have either Klit beat that makes you think they could beat Bowe?

Both Golota fights were in 96', it was hardly a Peak Bowe, if Bowe stayed in the condition he was in from 91' and 92' he would have easily become a top 10 ATG HW in my opinion.

A peak Bowe would be too strong, fast and mobile for a robotic, glass chinned Wlad I doubt this fight would go the distance.

Even if Wlads jab did cause a problem for Bowe he shown in his fights from 92 that he would gladly walk through shots to get his own in and he had a great chin, he was an amazing mid range fighter and when he would of eventually got inside it wouldn't take much for him too put Wlad down.

What people don't tend to remember about Bowe is that he had a terrific jab, sure it was no Wlad jab but it had more power behind it then Wlads and they have the same reach (81) would be more trouble for poor Klitschko.
