    I think Bowe at his best would beat all of them.

      Is the question how Bowe would do against today's top heavyweights or is it how he would do against two of today's top heavyweights and a former heavyweight fighter? Or do you mean Hughie Fury???

      Tyson Fury beat a handful of no name, no hope bums, got a title shot, used peds to get ready for his title shot, failed ped tests for anabolic steroids, got suspended for two years, and never went to any hearing to even try and make any defense or excuse for using peds. His refusal to offer any explanation and his acceptance of a two year suspension is pretty damning proof he took peds for one reason and one reason only: to enhance his performance. It did, he won the fight, but lost the test, and having been exposed as a fraud, he checked into a mental hospital and turned into a drug addict.

      Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are todays top two heavyweights. Both of whom have impressive wins in which they did not get caught cheating for.

      If the thought of fight Wilder sent Fury into depression, the thought of fighting Bowe would probably lead to Tyson committing suicide. As for AJ and Wilder, either one against Bowe could go either way. Pretty close to 50/50 fights.

        The bowe we saw against Holyfield is levels above anyone in the HW division today. The problem is that Bowe didn't show up very often. I mean Bowe vs Holyfield 1

          Bowe would be undisputed today. As would Lewis, Holyfield and prime Tyson.

            Strange that Bowe has been mentioned so much over the last couple days.

            Bowe was a fantastic boxer, underrated in his prime, overrated now. He had boatloads of skill, but was lazy and you never knew which Bowe was going to the ring.

                Prime Bowe beats everyone. Bowe vs Joshua would be an epic war though

                  I'm done evaluating fighters historically until we can see for definite when their primes are. Right now, I'd favour Bowe 60-40 against Joshua, maybe 70-30 against Wilder (perhaps more), and 70-30 against the Fury who fought Klitschko, drugs or not. What we definitely don't know is what Joshua and Wilder's peaks are.
