Tyson - TKO 1 / 2.
The major objection I have to that as I've been saying to Master, is to look at the calibre and quality of the fighters Tyson was knocking out in 1-2 rounds back in his prime. They were nothing the level of Bowe. Likewise Bowe was never really beaten convincingly by Holyfield over 3 fights, the 2nd one was pretty close. And even if you give Golota those fights he messed up look at the condition of Bowe by then.
I usually rate Bowe and Tyson evenly matched and I can definitely see a Tyson KO as a plausible outcome but I reckon he is more durable than that!
Bowe was no wimp, he had other issues such as laziness and food.
