If Mike Tyson had fought Riddick Bowe

Bowe style would be very difficullt for Tyson. Plus Bowe was avery good inside fighter.

Yes Bowe was good on the inside but if you allow Tyson to fight you on the inside you're begging for a beat down.

I just think if Holyfield can rock the hell out of Riddick Bowe then Tyson with quick combinations and good head movement can do the same.


I hate to do this because I think both Holmes and Bowe were a bit better than this fight, but this hypothetical match reminds me of Tyson-Holmes....Holmes had a PROVEN rock solid chin and Tyson just wrecked his world. Granted it was on short notice, but I figure Bowe wouldn't have had added much more speed, power, or defense than Holmes did.

On the flipside though Holmes was definitely on the slide. I think a prime Holmes takes Tyson.
