So its if Bowe had continued his career on and not a "Prime" Bowe...

Vitali Klitschko - Same as above, Bowe NEVER fought a power puncher like that
Wladimir Klitschko - Wlad by UD/late stoppage. If Golota schooled Bowe then Wlad would really put the hurt on him.
Chris Byrd - 50/50 fight, Byrd was slick but had no power
James Toney - Toney by UD too slick and very good counter puncher
John Ruiz - I think Ruiz takes it, he's very difficult to beat especially for an older Bowe

Tier 2 opponents:
Mike Tyson - Tyson would have a great shot early, but if it went past 6 Tyson would get stopped. 50/50 fight.
Lamon Brewster - Brewster by UD in a war!
David Tua - Tua by late TKO behind on all cards
Hasim Rahman - Bowe by decision
Jameel McCline - McCline by UD, let's face it he had a good streak where he won some big fights.
Sam Peter - 50/50 fight, Peter was a big puncher and could take a punch too
Michael Grant - Bowe by KO, he may have been old but Riddick still had a killer instinct.

Tier 3 opponents:
Oliver McCall - Bowe UD, McCall always fell short in big fights.
Fres Oquendo - Oquendo by SD or Bowe by stoppage
Kirk Johnson - Bowe by stoppage
The closer I look at Bowe's career the less impressed I am. Bowe was impressive vs pretty lackluster competition and the Holyfield fights were amazing, but he got old quick and after Holyfield never really fought dangerous competition.
