Riddick Bowe would destroy Wlad in 7

Wladimir would jab the hell out of him.

I'd say Bowe definitely goes the distance though.

Further depicted was the fear of meeting Lewis when he made an all out gesture of dumping the WBC belt in the trash, literally. It was on TV and in Ring Magazine back then.

Yeah, I remember Bowe & Newman claiming if Lennox got the belt- it would have to be out of the trash- really shameful move for Bowe.

He demanded to fight for the belt because he was ranked as the mandatory- then turn around & claim he shouldn't have to be told who his mandatory was.

As far as their Olympic fight. Bowe IMO showed back then how well he could fight from the inside- those uppercuts were well placed.

Personally I don't really think either of the last two standing 8 counts were needed. Nevertheless the ref called it on a single right hand & Bowe didn't complain.

IMO he'd stand a very good chance vs Wlad due to his compact uppercut on the inside
