Thread: Riddick Bowe vs. Wladimir Klitschko

i think bowe beats him up.

Depends on what Bowe shows up. The one who out fought Evander in there 1st fight I would agree. Every other Bowe after that I don't agree. Dude was lazy. This guy was life and death with Golota man!!! LOL

Riddick Bowe is overrated IMO, despite looking good twice against a fighter he had all the advantages over. Who did fight the wrong fight the 1st time, and did outbox him in the 2nd fight.

When did Riddick Bowe ever look that great ? he was outboxed clearly in his prime by Tony Tubbs, but was handed a gift decision. He was having all sorts of trouble with Tyrell Biggs jab until he caught up to him.

He was wobbled atleast half a dozen times against Herbie Hide. And was given a boxing lesson by Andrew Golota twice, which is due to Riddick Bowe not being able to handle fighters who fight him on the outside.

But despite all that i still think Riddick Bowe catches up to Wladimir Klitschko, im not really a big fan of either fighters. But Riddick Bowe despite what i said still had some very good attributes, and Wladimir Klitschko couldn't hold off Riddick Bowe, it would be similar to the Tyrell Biggs fight.

With Wladimir Klitschko being ahead in the fight, giving Riddick Bowe trouble with his jab. But eventually his weak chin and suspect stamina would be his downfall, Riddick Bowe by TKO in 9.

This has been discussed before and the general feeling was if it was the Bowe that fought Holyfield first time out he would beat Wlad up, but then he got lazy after that and that version would lose to Wlad. I agree with that too.

Oh hell.... Wlad in a cakewalk. What's Bowe... about 60 now?

Think once Bowe gets passed his jab...and not try to match em...Bowe would wreck Wlad with his inside set up off long rights and body work.Keep him turning ugly.Wlad would be forced to bring that sparse right on Bowe and Bowe for all his faults would certainly work his after his own solid jab.When its comes to mental faculties,Bowe was known to go soft in spots...Amatuer days,Mathis cheap shots and overall career inconsistancy and Wlad is ultra conservative & at his worse would unravel very badly when stunned.

You mean in a computer game? prime for prime fantasy matchup?

Young Bowe beats Wlad but the version that fought Golotta loses a decision imo.
