Riddick Bowe vs Deontay Wilder would've been interesting

[Dana White Sr]

lmao at the bowe disrespect.

ain't no way in hell a one trick pony like wilder is beating a tough skilled big man like bowe. once bowe get on the inside he would tear wilder's frail ass up.

you guys are too much in love with wilders power

Stylistically this is a 50/50 fight both are big HWs and both have one-punch knockout power. Idk, man this would be a war.

Bowe would have ended his career. Bowe is very underrated for some reason. One of the greats.

Crazy thing is there are guys who hit a lot harder

The Wilder fanboy club will and THEORETICALLY could use for now that Wilder defeats EVERYONE in history bc he will eventually land ?


However theres no actual evidence through his fights on ACTUAL video to suggest he would win a match up like this , im not even sure Wilder is better than a Ray Mercer who was around arguably a top 5 fighter at times in the 90's .

Wilder is vastly overatted by his cult following at this point and slightly underated by the general fans which is expected (i wouldn't write him off completely ) ....what fight did he actually dominate besides Stiverne 2 ?

Really you guys are head cases !

It wouldn't have been remotely interesting. Bowe would have abused him. He'd have beaten him like a damn drum.

Big Daddy was no joke, prime Bowe smears the streets with Wilder's blood

[Cutthroat]

How did Ortiz have a proven chin? Never fought a dangerous puncher. 240lb of muscle. He was fat, even Wilder said that, and he had a serious health problem. Let's not turn him into this superstar. It was a good win for Wilder, but if you think old Ortiz compares with a prime Bowe, you are high my man.

Who did Bowe fight that was a dangerous puncher?

Holyfield was NEVER known for his power and put him on his ass.
Bowe was also stopped by Lewis and some Euro nobody remembers in the amateurs.
Bowe was rocked by Tubbs 43% KO ratio, as well as Golota, neither true power punchers.

Have you ever seen Bowe fight? He was slow, mechanical, easy to hit he came forward and overwhelmed much smaller opponents. Ortiz is a significantly superior boxer both offensively and defensively, and he's actually out classed all his competition.


Ortiz carries a bit of fat but you can see definition on his body, he's in great shape and has never gassed. Wilder was talking shyt that's all.

[4truth]

Honestly never though Bowe was very good. He didn't fight Lennox because Bowe knew better. Golota wasn't very good either, his reputation is built exclusively on being better than an overrated Bowe. If Holyfield weren't such a cheapskate he would have paid Steward to train him for the 2 fights he lost instead of just the one fight that he won....

just saying

Holyfield, Tubbs, Golota, all these fighters either rocked or dropped Bowe, none of them have an ounce of Wilder's power.


Only in the past could you get dropped by a blown up 213lb cruiser (with more decisions than stoppages at HW) not known for his power and still have an iron chin. Or rocked by a journeyman with a 43% KO ratio like Tubbs.

In this era getting rocked by a 6'4 240lb dominant champion gets you labeled as having a glass chin. In this era getting dropped by a 6'6 240lb boxer known for his power gets you labeled glass chin.

Doesn't make any sense at all.

[Cutthroat]

If Wilder fell over like this he'd be laughed at, Wilder would see this punch from Bowe coming from a mile away. I'm convinced nobody remembers just how slow and easy to hit Bowe was. Bowe was also hurt a bit in this same round vs Tubbs' 43% KO ratio.
