Prime Vitali Klitschko vs prime Riddick Bowe?

Question

Who wins and why?

Answer 1

Actually if he wasnt cut he would have won that fight. Many believe lennox would lose a rematch and vitali put him into retirement. Vitali is very mechanical with not a lot of finesse but has a strong punch. Bowe in his prime was a great fighter who was tall with  great hands. Bowe wins late rounds oulasting vitali tko. Vitali was suspect on lasting later rounds.

Answer 2

Actually, this would be a great match.

Bowe was so tough early on. Also quick for his size.

But Vitali is bigger with better reach. The Russian would get hit and bleed, but he would deliver unless the ref stops it first, much like the Lewis fight.

Klitschko by 7-8 Rd. KO.

Answer 3

Bowe because Vitali sucks, the guys only claim to fame was losing to Lennox Lewis.

Lewis was out of shape and at the end of his career, Vitali was just as tired as Lewis, and Lewis ripped his eye open and stopped him, thats a win, Vitali lost, he lost to Lewis on one of Lewis's worst nights.. at least McCall and Rachman were able to capitalize on an unprepared Lewis.

Vitli was supposed to fight Rachman and pulled out because he got knocked out in sparring, SPARRING!, and was knocked down a few times.

Bottom Line Lewis won because he hit him in the face so hard he split him wide open.

And Lewis had said the Vitali fight would be his last even before he fought him. He contemplated retirement after Rachman 2.

Answer 4

I think Bowe wins.  Its all about styles, Lennox had trouble because Klitschko matched his size and fighting from a distance.  Bowe could adjust better than Lewis, I'm not saying he was better but he was better at that.  

Riddick would take the fight to closer quarters and expose Vitali's limited offense - uppercuts, left hooks, short right hands, Bowe would have him all dinged up by the middle rounds, and finish him off in 10...remember a prime Bowe could keep pace with Evander Holyfield, I don't think Klitschko could defend against the variety of attack at the pace.

Answer 5

Bowe, probably on a late round stoppage.

Answer 6

i think a riddick bowe who faced holyfield would of cut up klitsko
