Rid**** Bowe Is Overrated?

[BKM-2010]

Bowe was better then the Klitorises but that's not saying much.

This topic has absolutely nothing to do with the Klitschkos yet you somehow find a way to bring them up again and dissrespect them for no reason. It's like you don't even try to hide your blatant trolling of threads anymore.

Bowe certainly WAS overrated, but I think most experts and fans see his career more realistically now. If he had fought and beaten Lennox Lewis, Bowe would be in everyone's top 15 now (assuming Lewis still went on to have a good career).

Bowe had a Great Inside game, Beautiful uppercut, was tall, strong and Heavy, a true Heavyweight. His jab was top notch too and he had a big heart

Unfortunately he was a fat glutton and a lazy bastard. He had a short lived prime and it hurts him legacy wise, his failure to face Lewis dont help him either

Still on his night (Holy 1 basically!) he gives any HW in history a fight

One of my favourite fighters, certainly at HW but on the whole a dissapointment.

I'll watch the Klits,but Poet is right,Heavyweights today couldn't lace up Tommy Morrisons boots.. let alone the greats

Bowe was one of my fav heavyweights of his time. For a big man, he had amazing handspeed and movement and stamina. He also had power and a great jab. Had he stayed focused and laid off from hamburgers and cakes, he woulda remained champion for years. I also enjoyed his dismantling of Jorge Luis Gonzalez, the jerk. He was arguably past it by then, but still he beat undefeated Herbie Hide and Gonzalez that year, as well as Holyfield. I know he got lucky in that third fight, but still. By the time he fought Golota he was shot. It was a sad remnant of what had once been a formidable boxer.

I can name a handful of current heavyweights not named Klitschko who I would give at least an even shot at beating Morrison.

come on guys, the Klitschko's are boring but efficient, they would get the job done against some of the exciting HW's of the past too.. it's their style that bores us, but technically seen they make the most efficient and effective use of their physical assets, long range, pepper from distance, finish off when the opponent's slowed down.

what sucks about them is they do it for the stats, not for the fans.

That efficiency only works against the dog **** that passes for top opponents these days. Against one of the greats that "style" gets them beat.....badly.

Like who, that zombie looking freak called Wach? Obviously I was being sarcastic about Morrison,but I'd much prefer spend money on a comeback fight from aids of his than to watch some freak with gigantism like Mariusz Wach beating up and old man (mcbride) and then watch everybodies avatar change to the sideshow freak(classic nuthugging) if they'd like to get on a nuthug bandwagon early they should jump on David Prices extra long pubic hair... Wach is so stiff and robotic.. this is a sport ,not a circus.Beating up Mcbride was pathetic.

I think a large quantity of the imbeciles on this website would argue that a prime Liston/Dempsey/Foreman/Clay/Frazier would get ko'd in a singular minute sharing a ring with Wlad.
