      Either Klitschko beats Bowe but I do agree that Bowe was an exceptional fighter when he had all of his wits.

        Vitali was the only one who ever stopped Larry Donald, who went the distance with prime Bowe.

        Vitali took two rounds to stop Herbie Hide in 1999, Bowe took 6 rounds.

        But of course you'll say Bowe is better than both Klitschkos, because after all he's an American!

          Nope. I said they'd be great fights. I'd bet on Bowe, but only like 60-40 tops.
          Bowe did beat a prime Holyfield 2 of 3 though, that can't be ignored man.

          They would be great fights, and I like the Klitschko's, but with bias American haters like you, that's what drags them down in the eyes of a lot of bias Americans. The Klitschko's are ATG HW's, and would be a mjor factor in ANY ERA. And would probably beat everyone prior to the Ali and Liston era no doubt.

          They'd be a tough fight for any ATG HW, only a fool wouldn't see that. The only prime HW's I would favor over the Klitschko's H2H all-time are Ali, Foreman, Holmes, Bowe, Holyfield, and Lewis. Those are the only guys I'd actually go all in on to beat them, and they'd be tough and risky fights. People like Liston and Tyson, they'd be pick em' fights to me. And I would favor the Klitschko's to beat Patterson, Frazier, Norton, Lyle, Shavers, Moorer, no doubt.

            No, you have it exactly the opposite of what it is.

            Years and years of hearing and reading hateful comments about the Klitschkos and other European boxers from American writers, commentators and fans like Poet, DiegoFuego, Larryx2011, Max Kellerman, Teddy Atlas, Eric Raskin, and many others have dragged Americans down in the eyes of boxing fans around the world.

            I get sick to the stomach every time I see the slur "Euro-bum". The idea "if it's not American, it's not right" is pure bigotry.

            (I do realize not all Americans are prejudiced against Europeans - there are fair American writers like Jake Donovan and Dan Rafael and some good American posters here too).

              I'm not American but 1992 Bowe still starches the pair of them.

              Bowe was very good on the inside. The one thing the Klits do well is prevent their opponents from getting in on the inside.

                  Two wrongs don't make a right though man, that's all I was trying to say in the other thread man. If that was the case, than that's like saying Affirmative action in the USA is right, because it isn't. It's reverse racism and it's not fair.

                  It goes both ways, and that's something Bias Americans and Bias Europeans can't seem to udnerstand. And it's something Bias Floyd haters and bias Manny haters can't either.

                  The Klitschko's are ATG HW's, and I posted who I think they'd lose to, who I think it'd be a pick em' fight, and who I think they'd without a doubt 100% beat.

                  And the idea that Americans are small minded, only concerned with themselves, only care about Ameircan things, isn't right either. Trust me, having traveled around Europe twice, I have encountered American hate like you would not beleve, and it's bulls**t. I have also encountered loads and loads of Europeans that love America. Hey, America must be an alright country if so many people want to come here.

                  It goes both ways.

                    First off stop using past prime fighters as examples of what the K BROS do. LIKE 'OH WLAD DESTROYED RAY MERCER' ya a 43 year old one lol.

                    2nd off Prime Bowe will literally murder Wlad. The reason the K Bros lasted so long is because they didn't take anywhere near the punishment other heavyweight greats did. Even Lewis who arguably took the least amount of punishment as compare to Holyfield or Ali took 10x the punishment the K Bros did cuz he fought a huge line of murderous punchers and dangerous opponents. Even Tua landed some huge shots on Lewis that might have knocked out Wlad.

                    It's hard to tell what either K BROS can do against quality opposition. If you watch the Wlad fight against Samuel Peter, Wlad got knocked down 3 times, 2 of which were legit knock downs. Peter is like a baby midget version of Prime Bowe. I don't know if Wlad can survive the inside against Bowe. Bowe KO the **** outof wlad

                    Vitali is different because fighting Lennox automatically made him a better fighter and human being. So even if a 10th of Lewis's magic rubbed off on Vitali's face I guess Vitali can Tko Bowe around the 10th.
