Top 10 Heavyweights all-time - Head to Head

[Thunder Lips]

It was a shot Bowe, that had already been in his wars with Holfyield and over training was also a factor. I really can't see the version of Bowe that beat Evander in their first fight being beat him by any version of Golota.

Bowe wasn't shot until Golota pulled the trigger. Golota's superior jab, power, and workrate would have always troubled the defensively challenged Bowe; advantages Evander didn't have to exploit. Holyfield is an overall superior fighter but Golota was a tougher match up for Bowe. This is why Bowe avoided fighters like Lewis like the plague as well.

Bowe had two chances against Golota, and had training excuses both times. Pathetic. Did Ali, Holmes, Marciano, and Louis get ****ed up by tough but subpar fighters during their peak years because they couldn't properly train twice regardless of how many wars they had been in? No. Bowe wasn't shot he was just lazy as he was his entire career at the top save his single impressive win over a prime Holyfield. After that his resume gets pretty thin and the Golota beat downs are the icing on the cake.
