Rid**** Bowe vs todays HW's.....

[The D3vil]

He knocks out Joshua & Wilder

Tyson Fury is too big and too skilled.

Bowe's prime was extremely short, even shorter than Tyson's, so it's hard to gauge him, but the absolute best version of him who beat Holyfield would be death on any heavyweight who ever lived.

Rid**** Bowe was one of the greats of his era along with Mike Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield.

https://********/zsHFYasUO2M - John Fury's comments at 7:20 pretty much confirms this.

The Rid**** Bowe that turned up against Evander would crush AJ and Wilder.

Fury would be a tough fight, in my ATG rankings there two and next to one another and are pretty interchangeable. Would be a close fight but I'd favour Bowe, could change my opinion tomorrow though.

Same way he knocked out Golota, dummy.

Bowe and Tyson weren't even that great.

Remember that Mike Tyson knocked Frank Bruno out twice.

Remember that Mike Tyson knocked Frank Bruno out twice.

Bruno was a stiff robot that froze when punched. He’s what Dubois is right now.

[QueensburyRules]

He knocks out Wilder and Jousha on the same night loses to Fury

- -Big Dummy stripped 1x1 of every belt he owned for not facing the best.

U in the same grade as him?

Bowe was special for a very short amount of time. He's the only fighter I can remember with a shorter prime than Tyson lol.

I think the question was basically would Bowe at his best compete with today's heavyweights and the answer has to be absolutely!

Keep in mind the Bowe that fought Golota was shot to ****. His lack of discipline in between fights eventually caught up to him and the reliance on his chin meant his punch resistance eventually started declining.

I agree completely. He had it all. If he was focused and lived like an athlete instead of putting his kitchen in his bedroom. ( yes the fool did that ) he would have lasted longer. Only had one loss and that could have gone either way.
That Prime Bowe should have fought Lewis then. He probably would have hurt him and beat him. The Lewis with Manny Steward beats Bowe by decision.

Bowe wipes the floor with all of them.
