I have been rewatching some of his fights recently and it occured to me that Bowe's athleticism, speed and heart compared to today's HWs is unmatched. He would walk through Fury, Wilder and Joshua. What do you think?
I think Rid**** Bowe would have been an absolute champion in HW today.

Inside game, aggression 'Would be by far to sophisticated and too much for many of today's active Heavyweights'.
Bowe would for sure be able to win a World title in today's era.
The area were I think most Heavyweights suffer these days is? Very few have a developed inside game.
Fury gives it a good go on the inside, when he is facing somebody who he out weighs by 40 pounds 'But apart from that, Fury historically although he does have a inside game. It is not really that proven for me at elite level, or very sophisticated'.
Note: Fury is constantly squaring up on the inside or technically making unforced errors 'I will not disrespect Fury, and categorically state that Bowe would beat him up. But that fight would be a incredibility difficult fight for Tyson Fury' I would have to back Rid**** Bowe to win in his best form erc.

Bowe beat a lot of smaller fighters, which at the time was almost everyone. Golota was more his own size and this presented problems.
Not saying Bowe wouldn't have some success today but he'd face some adversity as well.Comment

Then certainly you agree that Golota would be too since he beat Bowe's ass twice and decided to throw the fight away being a peenie puncher for....reasonsComment

That's Golota's problem though. Honestly, I think a lot of former top 10 heavyweights would steamroll Fury and AJ. The skill and athleticism in HW is just not there anymore. David Tua would put everyone of today's champs to sleepComment

Yup, Tua would be unbeaten maybe stop everyone fighting today.Comment

Golota did not beat Bowe twice, and those two fights were in the latter part of Bowe's career.
Bowe was badly out of condition in the first fight, then over-trained in the second fight dropping too much weight 'Still the rematch for me? Was a awesome fight, one of the most ferociously fought Heavyweight match ups of the 90's. I don't think Bowe should be discredited for those performances'.
Note: Would Rid**** Bowe in his worst condition, give the Tyson Fury in his worst condition a tough fight? Most certainly
There are people on here being critical of fighters performances from past era's, come on? We have just witnessed Tyson Fury apparently, the king monster heavyweight of this era get beaten up and pushed by Nagnnou in his first ever professional boxing fight.
So like I told people in the aftermath of that fight, all of those head to head mythical match ups where Fury or any other heavyweight from this era blasts through past fighters 'Really needs to pipe down'.
Golota at his peak technically was a gifted fighter 'If Golota at his peak was suddenly transported into present time, he would be right there with all the top Heavyweights in the game' etc.
