yet he has wins over Ruddock, Bruno, Holmes, Spinks, and others

if Tyson was a "hype job", then what the hell are guys like Chambers, Arreola, and McCline who with the heavyweight division being at it's worst still can't manage to win a strap

Bowe would beat Tyson if he used his jab and countered Tyson with the uppercut while coming in, but Mike had the power and speed to drop Bowe
