Prime Rid**** Bowe in today's HW Division? How will he do.

[4Corners]

Bowe in his prime was the real deal. Him beating a prime Holyfield is probably the last ATG win by a Heavyweight. He'd whipe the floor with everyone but the Klitschko's. Vitali and Wlad would be real tests, but a prime Bowe would far and away be the best fighter either has faced. I don't see how anyone could dispute that.

An absolute prime Vitali didn't exactly dominate a way past it 37 year old Lennox Lewis, it was 4-2 in rounds, and Lennox stopped him on a pretty lucky cut. So, given that a peak version of Vitali couldn't dominate a way past it Lennox, I think it's fair to say that an absolute prime Rid**** Bowe would have been one hell of a test for the Klitschkos.

He has the size, the jab, the power, and the skills to beat the Klitschko's. I'd favor Bowe 60-40 against them probably.

WOW! . . . .Either you've never seen Bowe fight or you've bumped your head and developed amnesia 'cause that comment is about as stupifying as anything I've ever come across on this site.

So let's forget that ridiculous statement and move on to the Klitschko brothers. Undoubtedly they're more disciplined than Big Daddy. Their professionalism is commendable but lets not for one second start thinking that either of these guys are in the same league in terms of talent.

In fact, there seems to be a mass case of what we can term 'pugilistic amnesia'; it's not when someone has taken too many punches and damaged their memory. It's when you've wallowed in ****e for so long that you no longer know the difference between what's good and what's not. It's a bit like like cultural amnesia, when my girlfriend doesn't know who Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday are and thinks that X Factor contestants are talented singers.

Pass the smelling salts. . . . . . . some people need to wake the f**k up.

That clown has probably never watched a Rid**** Bowe fight in his life. Someone call me when a current HW beats someone the caliber of a prime Evander Holyfield. Wait.....there is no current HW opposition the caliber of a prime Holyfield. Oh well.

This guy would get TKO by Haye within 3 rounds

Fraud Haye would go 0-10 against Evander Holyfield.....someone Bowe was 2-1 against :jerk0ff9:

Bowe was a beast. I could see him being the best today, but Vitali would be his toughest challenge.

Bowe's "talent" involved throwing sloppy jabs and haymakers and taking punches to the face from Herbie Hide.

prime rid**** was a very short lived thing but if he came in right now the only person who would have a chance to live with him is wlad. A few years ago vitali would have but there is no way vitali at 40 could live with a PRIME bowe. Rid**** v Wlad ... I think I'd favor Rid**** but not with any degree of confidence

Bowe's prime was so short he'd probably lose it waiting for Wlad to finish one of his long ass ring walks.

50/50 with current Wlad. Either Wlad stays away and wins a decision or Bowe lands the knockout punch. Bowe definately beats current Vitali. 55/45 in favor of prime Vitali. Maybe if Bowe could've said no to seconds I'd be more inclined to pick him.

Assuming Rid**** don't get lazy and fat like he always do, I think he will wipe out everyone up to Vitali, where that will be a toss up fight. There is no way in hell Wlad can survive the inside against Bowe, and most of Wlad's size advantage will be neturalized. Bowe was 6'4 6'5 and came in at a very strong 235-240ish.

Few interesting facts lol when reading a article about Bowe. Rid**** wanted to quit boxing like hundreds of times during training when Rock Newman refused to allow him to eat fast food and cakes lol. He actually ran away from camp once and had to be dragged back by his team. He said the reason he never fought Lennox was not because he was scared of Lennox but that the training camp leading up to the Lewis fight would have been as brutal as the Holyfield one.

****** question, he's too fat to box. His fat ass would die

[Cutthroat]

He'd beat Wlad, Vitali would give him a good fight though.

I can't remember the last time I saw Wlad fight on the inside, he's so much taller and bigger than his opponents that all he's got to do is lean on top of them when they come in, Bowe is an excellent inside fighter and would just **** Wlad on the inside.
