    Bowe (post-Holyfield / pre-Golota) 250lb
    Wald (2011-2013) 245lb

    Bowe wastes that big, fragile oaf.

    Bowe vs Vitali is a better matchup.

    Wald, fragile? Been KO'd twice in the last 12 years. 2nd and 5t Rd.
    Similar to Lewis.

    Yet Lewis is seen is an all-time great.

    Need you to break it down with facts and figures: Why and How does Bowe waste Wald?

    Wlad is obviously fragile. He has built an entire horrible miserable style around having no chin.

    Bowe should be favoured but make no mistake, Wlad could stop Bowe too.

    Vitali would have stopped Bowe, no doubt in my mind.

    Bowe too strong. I'd take him over both Klits via stoppages.

    I get the feeling Bowe was basically shot by the Golota fight, his balance and accuracy etc was a mess - even worse in the rematch.

    What does pre-Golota/post Holyfield mean? He fought Golota straight after the Holy rubber.

    I think the Bowe who beat Holy in 1992 beats Wlad but a 250lb 1996 version probably doesn't beat anybody good.

    Wlad's never proven he can beat anybody quality who can actually hit him back and find his shit chin.

    I've always thought Bowe beats Wlad but loses to Vitali

    Bowe would beat both those clowns.

    I have all the evidence I need in WASHED UP Lewis taking Quitali apart with right uppercuts.

    92 Bowe is a HELLUVA lot better than 03 Lewis.

    Vitali would have stopped Bowe. Tiny Evander would have stopped Bowe if it wasn't for fanman and would have done so too in the 3rd fight if he didn't enter the fight with a virus. Bowe took advantage of hasbeens, cuntbums and smaller guys. I predicted that Golota would beat him...Golota being the first big man in his prime that Bowe faced. Vitali would have kicked his black ass (no self hate)

    I'm not going to get into the whole Lewis-Vitali thing again as it gets tedious very quickly, but I'd hardly call Lewis "washed up" when they fought.

    Maybe not washed up.

    But he seemed unmotivated and disinterested. He didn't exactly appear to be in the best of shape either.

    That said, I still think any version of Lewis has problems with Vitali. I still think he'd win. But it is a tough style match up.

    This. Bowe would wreck both of these fools with his inside game. Vitaly has a chance, but Wlad get beats 10 outa 10
