    Klitschko and it's not close.

    Bowe missed out on Foreman, Moorer, Briggs, Botha, Tua, Ruddock, Tyson then got slapped around by Golota, twice!

      Bowe had too short of a prime and shamelessly ducked Lennox.

        Wlad will be remembered as the greater fighter because he was on top longer and he reigned for an entire era,,, 30 years from now this will be considered the wlad era, similar to the marciano era, louis era, dempsey era, etc

        but bowe would have kicked his arse,,,

        Rid**** was a much better fighter, and proved it vs alot better competition

        for a big guy, rid**** was very skilled on the inside, he would have dismantled povetkin and not needed to clinch every 10 seconds to wear out povetkin,, he just would have used short shots on the inside,

        Bowe much more skilled, and a better fighter,, but wlad will be remembered more, because bowe's reign at the top was only 1 year

            Considering the fact that Wlad will be remembered as greater then Tyson, Louis, Foreman, Frazier and POSSIBLY (not quite there yet) Ali - id say Wlad, without a doubt. No brainer

              wlad might rank a little higher, maybe, based on his longevity, but theres no question Bowe was the better fighter and i have no doubt he would stop wlad if they fought.


              And actually Bowe's win over a prime Holyfield is better than anything Wlads ever done

                Even greater reason why he should be less regarded for lack of durability, we are talking about a guy who was a blown up CW against a real legit HW.

                  Drugs are bad, mkay?

                  C'mon man, Wlad isnt in the league of Louis, Foreman or Tyson - leave alone the GOAT, Ali.

                    Wladimir is greater of course.

                    Bowe was pretty limited anyway, he had 0 ring IQ and couldn't throw a right hand to save his life. H2H Wladimir would take him apart with his jab and KO him late.
                    Bowe was out on his feet against Hide and got thrashed by Golota. He didn't do anything in his career except for beating Holyfield.

                      Rid****s most famous as a dustman than a fighter. Throwing belts into bins rather than fight.
