And I think everyone knows this, one overhand right and Wlad would be counting the lights on the ceiling.

Personally I would lean towards a Wladimir decision victory.
I think Wladimir is faster and sharper with his shots and has way more concussive power than Riddick did. I think he would best him on the outside.
Riddick's inside game was good though but I don't think it would play a serious factor against an opponent like Wladimir who is a master of keeping the action where he wants it. Riddick was never very swift to push inside, he was primarily an outfighter who often ended up there against smaller opponents and happened to be good at it.
Wladimir is slightly longer and heftier and holds a higher quality of weight (obviously). A peak Bowe should be around 235lbs.
One big plus for Bowe is his CHIN is better than Wladimir's for sure.
But having said that this fight is going to be something of a pickem fight, a near 50/50 proposition imo with Wladimir losing sometimes by knock out.
If this fight was made Riddick Bowe would have been the toughest opponent Wlad ever faced and vice verse.

Prime Riddick was one fight but that fight he would have beaten Wlad who has never faced a talented fighter like Bowe.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think Bowe at his best beats pre 05 Wlad but not the current version.. Max Power already gave the reason and I pretty much agree..
Bowe would have to get past Wlad's jab to utilize his infighting ability but I dont see him doing that.
H2H, Wladimir is too much for anybody..
Wlad could ko bowe and visa versa.
I could see Wlad with Bowe duck tapped to his jab and getting Bowe frustrated to the point of a DQ loss. Bowe wasn't hard to miss and had been wobbled and out jabbed by far less fighters than Wlad
