Two supreme talents that just seem to lack one ingredient to being the complete package, who would win?
For some reason, I see an 11th round KO happening, but I'm not sure who's hand would be raised.
bowe he has much better chin and he is a big man and he would be able to get close to wlad because he is round about same height as wlad and and he would ko wlad not sure when but he definetly would
prime bowe kos that china chin klit :P
Made me LOL! china chin!!!Quote:

sort of reveals how you look at life..as to who you vote for.
I would give Bowe a chance now if he was in good shape Wlads chin is useless when anyone dare hit him on it
I've always felt that the Bowe that beat Evander was one of the best HW's I've ever seen. So if that guy showed up I'd pick him for a mid round KO. If the guy who fought Golota showed up then I'd pick Wlad with a 8th round Ko
Beat Wladimir? Hell Bowe could'nt give Golota a proper ass whooping. ;)
Well it depends.....the Prime Riddick bowed who blasted Evander Holyfield out would beat almost anyone....anything after that Wlad would stop him.
So pre-Golota Bowe wins by TKO
and post-Golota Bowe gets TKO'd
I'm a Wlad Klitschko fan but you have to give Riddick his props!

Actually yeah thats a good point, Bowe was fairly inconsistant as far as conditioning and focus goes.Quote:

bowe was out of shape in first fight prolly over 2 stone his prime weight then in rematch he had brain damage and had lost like 50 pounds in less than 2 months making him feel weight drained and prime golota is good fighter he just hates people who attack him from opening bell but prime golota is dangerous he has good jab good power good workrate and not bad chin its just his heart is shite and your saying bowe couldnt beat golota then why couldnt wlad beat sanders purity lamon brewster ??Quote:

Right now we can't really say "prime for prime" because you have to define what Wladimir's prime is.....was it before Corrie Sanders? Before Ross Purrity??? Has it even happened yet???
I lean towards the 'has it even happened yet' answer because Wlad has fought and beat good fighters but hasn't truly been tested fight after fight after fight.....he's starting to but every fight is up in the air you know? You never know what you'll get with him and I think that makes him and Riddick Bowe very similar....they over train, they under train, only Bowe took a hell of a lot of punishment and didn't panic...Wlad sort of panics but he can take a hell of a punch without being sparked out cold....he can't keep his balance but he can get back up and you have to give him that.
I believe that a prime Riddick Bowe would have a field day with Wlad, now don't get me wrong Wlad has a punchers chance no doubt, he throws a terrific str8 right hand, and has a decent jab, it comes off fast and is very accurate , However Wlad has no rhythm , and flat footed ..., Bowe on the other hand was a complete fighter.. set up combinations well , set a good pace over the course of a match , Bowe had very good foot placement . Eddie Futch had him sharp as a tack for a few years ! Bowe's prime was fairly short do to his own personal demise .
Wlad is VERY athletic...he's not as robotic as people like to think....I believe the way he sets up his right cross leads more people to think he's robotic as he'll jab and then swat down with the jab to uncover the defense and land the right cross.
Wlad has a good solid rhythm, he's no Mike Tyson but he has fast hands and can land some deadly combinations.
Don't sell Wlad short just because Riddick was so damn impressive....Wlad has his moments as well
