Riddick Bowe v. Wladimir Klitchko

[Klitsfan]

Wladimir is a very smart fighter and figures out his opponents weaknesses and exploits them.To think Wladimir couldn't get to Bowe is rediculous.This fight would be almost an even matchup with the power edge going to Wladimir.There wasn't one guy who Bowe fought that could punch as hard or as acurate as Wladimir.I couldn't say one would dominate the other I think it would be a very competative fight.

thats were your wrong i give wlad credit but only advantage wlad has over bowe is power and prolly jab bowe has much better stamina speed chin inside work and workrate and no one said wlad wouldnt get to bowe of course he would but bowes granite chin would take them shots from wlad and then wlads weak chin and suspect stamina would let him down

[El Kabong]

Wlad's handspeed is one of the best I have ever seen for a big man....Bowe may be lighter on his feet but his handspeed is no match for Wlad's

anyone know what wlads diet is because i remember james quick tillis had stamina problems then he went to doctors and changed his diet and then his stamina was fine like when he fought tyson his stamina was fine after changing his diet this could be case with wlad aswell

Wladimir is a much faster puncher.And how are you so sure Bowe could take his power?

[El Kabong]

...I think he just throws too many punches. He has corrected it I think, he makes sure someone is REALLY hurt when he tries to finish them.

He has done better at being patient like Lennox Lewis did....and his defense has improved as well

because when bowe was shot and weight drained i see golota give bowe one of worst beatings ever in hw divison he got battered and still stayed on his feet and tried to comeback his chin is like granite and im pretty sure he would take wlads power

but question is would wlad take bowes power and id say no

I know this sounds crazy, but you would be surprised how many fighters have slight infections, just enough to sap your strength. the little cuts and nicks you get in the gym, you don't even realize your sick, its just enough to sap your energy and make you feel bit fatigued.

Well Golota doesn't have near the power of Wladimir.Golota doesn't throw straight down the middle shots like Wladimir nor does he throw the kind of combos Wladimir does, so I don't think it is a very good comparison.

golota does throw good combos because he was in same holyfield camp and he learnt some great combos he threw 3 punch combos against bowe all night and jab right hand over the top golota before he met bowe was 28 wins and 25 kos if i remember right no maybe golota isnt quite as strong as wlad but thats not what im saying im saying even though bowe was weight drained and shot he took hell of a beating i think punch stat in one round was like 80+ to 15 so that proves bowe has granite chin and he would take wlads punches but like i said before you dont think wlad would just hit bowe and bowe would just stand there he would throw back and would wlads weak chin take bowes punches and the answer is no but fair play for sticking up for your fighter i like that

[plinden]

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!

You are right, but we must conclude that it would be a hard one to bet on. I tilt in Bowe's favor, Golota was a monster those nites.
I don't know if anyone could have beaten THAT Golota; man; not caught early on, he was warmed up and relentlessly violent... and insane.
Anyhow these are 3 of the Gods of HW and their fights would be even.
As a funny thought; I might pcik them as a team of three against anyother team of 3. (ANother good "team"; Vitali, ALi, Forman) (or Vitali, Sanders, Tyson -scary)
