Keep in mind eddie futch picked holy to beat tyson way back when they were both undefeated. Bowe is iddicult to gauge because his prime and desire was so short. I certainly think Mike could win but i think it would be interesting as mike never fought anyone with the technical and Power of Bowe. Pleae add your thoughts relstice thoughts not mike destroys him or riddick dominates, I am not biast either way just think it makes for a very interesting matchup, certainly mike has better power than evander did but he certainly could not take the shots evander did if it came to that, but who knows mikes defense was much much greater, but i belive bowe is a far far cry from spinks a fighter bowe would moslt likely ko in 1-2 rounds
I think this would have been very entertaining fight. When Mike Tyson had the right support system in place early in his career he was an awesome disciplined fighter Training at all hours and loving it. His timing was incredible and he never wasted punches. Bowe in his prime was lean and mean , at about 230 lbs. on a 6”5 frame. (Damn remember when Heavyweights actually got in shape to fight) . Those were the days. Anyway Bowe would fight on the inside when pressed and he could also box well.. I think Bowes flaw in this match up would be that he would give up his asset of height and allow Tyson to come in and that would be his ultimate demise. Bowe would fight a short mans fight if pressed. And the overall invincibility factor that Tyson had at that time would have been a huge mental boost for him. I think Bowe would have been intimidated. And would have lost mental focus . I would think that Tyson would have won . Now If this fight took place after Atlas and Rooney I think Bowe would have nailed his a** inside 6. Its amazing how having the right people around you can make you, and having the wrong people around you can destroy you.
Agreed, but also don't forget that Bowe grew up in Brownsville too and knew Tyson (by sight and reputation) - he was scared of him then !
