Bowe was too inconsistent in his range and too lazy with his workrate. Sure he had epic EPIC battles with Evander Holyfield but that was just as much of a style matchup causing that as it was anything else. Did Bowe ever fight anyone else on Holyfield's level? I know he got completely schooled by a guy with a super weak chin in Andrew Golota before that nutjob started hitting low.

Wlad at this point in his career has been consistent to an extent many of us have never seen ever, and some of us remember Larry Holmes being this dominant.


Another thing to mention is that Riddick Bowe never....NEVER EVER EVER in his professional career fought a big puncher....not a once! The last big puncher he fought was Lennox Lewis and Lennox KO'd him. Wlad might not KO Bowe but he'd sure as hell fuck his world up.
