Riddick Bowe 92 vs Mike Tyson 88

[Master]

Tyson KO 1 left hook like he did against Williams. Bowe could not live with Tyson and his inside fighting.

You cannot compare a borderline career bum like Williams to Bowe. Sure Carl was much better than his record suggested but he had nowhere near the chin, power, weight of Bowe and not quite the skill either.

I strongly disagree that Tyson, if he does win, manages it in 1 round. He took more than a round to finish heaps shitter opponents than Riddick.

Does not matter how good you are if you get hit right by Tyson, it is the end. Bowe was vulnerable to the left hook, think Holyfield in their 3rd fight and imagine Tyson landing that.

Yeah I agree with you there that Tyson could knock Bowe out, he could knock anybody out. But you gotta remember that Bowe handled Holyfield who worked Tyson out, Buster had similarities to Bowe who managed to survive Tyson's left hook.

Hell Donovan Ruddock managed to whether many rounds of punishment from Tyson. It can be shown clearly that as Tyson's opponents got progressively larger and more skilled, his performance declined against them.

Tyson never knocked out an opponent 6'4" or greater like Bowe who did not have a poor record.

Yeah Bowe wasn't that hard to hit I said that and that's why I think it's a very difficult fight to predict as there is also a case for Bowe. I'm not saying Tyson couldn't KO him but if he does I think it's highly unlikely to be in the first round.

You are massively underrating the 92 Bowe.

[Master]

You are under rating Tyson. Mike beat big fighters like Tucker and Briggs with ease. I was half joking with the 1 round KO but a victory would happen.

And those were good fighters and victories but I think Bowe was better than them.

I don't underrate Tyson, I think he was one of the best.

Well if you were exaggerating then I really have no argument left because you could be right.

If I took those years exactly I'd edge towards Riddick. Tyson's peak of his powers were in 1986-7ish for me when he still had that great head movement and threw those amazing old school combinations with lightening speed.
