    I enjoyed Rid**** Bowe's two fights with Golota 'The rematch is a underrated War'.

    Rid**** Bowe on his night is probably a better fighter, but overall? Wladimir Kiltchko ranks higher as a all-time great, his title reign cannot be overlooked.

      Hard to say. Bowe practically lost twice to Golota while Kliczko lost to Sanders and Brewster. They both won a lot. IMO, it's a draw between them.

        Head to head, the best Bowe absolutely embarrasses the best version of Klitschko.

          I agree with this^^^^^^^

          Bowe doesn't have the longevity. Not to mention he ducked Lennox

              The Bowe that fought Holyfield the first time would beat any version of Klitschko.

              But Klitschko had the better, more consistent career.

                - -Big Dummy beat the Foreman emasculated Field who was 8-0, 8 KO heavy record going into Foreman. He mauled him enough to have to hang on a 42 yr old to survive the champions rds. He was 19-10-2, 8 KOs for the next 20 yrs padded out by retirement fights when he lost his boxing liscense.

                Big Dummy only wanted stiffs, the reason he was stripped of every title he ever won.

                  Ranks higher? Obviously Wlad. Bowe beat one great fighter in Holyfield who only lost because he chose to lose. Bowe was brawling with a CW who he had a massive size advantage over for so many rounds and he still barely pulled off the win. When Evander used his skills he won easily.

                  And as far as who wins, Golota showed that a Euro heavyweight would box Bowe's ears off. Bowe is a dumb guy, you can jab him, one-two his face off at will, he just runs into the punches. He can only fight on the inside. And Wlad should gorilla-hug him at that range every chance he gets. Wlad wins.

                    Someone actually thought to compare Bowe to Klitchko?

                    Why not throw Cleveland Williams or Frank Bruno in the mix?

                    Maybe Tony Galento?


                    Bowe might he the most overrated fighter of all time.

                    Marciano, Mayweather, Ali, Langford... they all have their rabid delusional fans. But at least they all did enough to qualify as great. Least of all they had ATG skills.

                    What's Bowe's greatness based upon? What performance? What achievements? What victory?

                    Wlad is top 10 all time. And H2H he's easily top 5. Neither can ve said of Bowe.

                    Comparing his brother, Vitali, or Ali or Lewis... or even Wilder, OK. But Bowe!?
