I would go with Tyson if both were in their Prime. I would go with Bowe if the fight were to happen today.

I think the 21 - 22 year old mike would of blasted Riddick out inside 4 rounds, his work rate and power would of been to much for Bowe, and he Bowe did have a habit of being a slow starter, but any Tyson after the Buster Douglas loss, would been taken out by Bowe in the later rounds (8-9) as Tyson lost the work rate, and Bowe was a very crafty fighter with good ring craft and under rated power.

Primes then its KO 2 Tyson

Prime Tyson ko 1

Prime Tyson decisions a defence minded Bowe who has been put off his game by Tysons relentlesness. This is Prime Bowe also of course.

Really can't call this fight - one of the most intriging matchups possible at Heavy for me

[CutMeMick]

Tough call, but my gut instincts tell me Bowe stops him middle rounds...

[SweetPea]

If they fought in their respective primes, I'll take Bowe.

The 85-86 version of Mike Tyson would be one hard SOB to beat ! Bowe would likely eat canvas from the all out Tyson blitz, Mike had excellent head movement was very hard to hit while working his way inside behind that hard fast jab. in my opinion Mike would have beat Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield in that 1985-1986 window. after that Mike fell apart got lazyand would have been ripe pickings for all the above.

I think the problem when discussing Tyson is we knew how good he could have been. He let himself down, in doing so He let Boxing and the fans down. I feel for that fans will never forgive Him, but was He exciting you bet your life He was.

So true.. I always say a Ferrari needs a good tune up and oil changes . it is a high-performance vehicle. neglect it , and it will turn to shit in a jiff !

If Bowe trained like he did for the first Holyfield fight, he would have stopped Tyson. One less ounce than his maximum commitment in training and Tyson would get him. It's too bad Bowe's prime only lasted for about 2 or 3 fights. He had skill, size, power, and most importantly, a good stiff jab. At his absolute best, he had enough to keep Tyson off him for the initial onslaught, then take him out about 8 or 9.

Riddick Bowe would have whipped Tyson's ass!

You could put a prime AND a post prime Mike Tyson in the ring to tag team Riddick Bowe and Riddick would still win!!!
