    One of the few times a fighters wins the fight, lying on the canvas clutching his balls :good

    Difference is Bowe won that fight purely because of a DQ, otherwise he was getting his ass handed to him twice by the foul Pole.

    Tyson had no issues with Golota at all and in fact made him quit (and broke his bones in the process)

    Bowe fought Holyfield THREE times.
    Lewis didn't fight the same Holyfield, he fought an older, less busy, version.
    Tyson didn't do sh!t after 1996. You can say "Golota", but Golota lost to everyone.
    Moorer didn't do sh~t after 1997.
    Stewart was possibly ruined after ONE fight with Holyfield, but it's hard to say.

    Where are we going with this?? The topic is who would you definitely send in to beat Tyson??

    I'd pick George Foreman because I feel he'd get him out quick, something no other fighter ever did.

    Well then its Bowes fault not anbody else's

    Golota lost to everyone, but whats his swansong? who was the one guy he looked great against?

    Golota was a tier below the elite, thats why Lewis and Tyson put him in his place.

    And Tyson was much further gone by then than Bowe was.

    Here we go again, what the **** as Tyson beating Golota more convincingly than Bowe got to do with anything, have you heard the saying Horses for Courses you dumbass??

    I'll play it your way shall I, Bowe beat Holyfield twice while Tyson was destroyed by him, doesn't mean anything if the two ever met!

    Lets look at the two decent fighters who Foreman got out of there "quick"

    Joe Frazier and Ken Norton, one guy was notorious to having a glass jaw, the other suspected of having one.

    Frazier and Bowe have a lot in common. Both fought in eras full of punchers, but seemed to avoid all of them? Well Frazier did face Foreman and we saw what happened there.

    Coincidence that both were trained by the same guy, despite fighting decades apart?

    Bowe fought 4 good/decent punchers, Holyfield, Golota, Hide and Cooper. He was dropped by two of them and the other two had him out on his feet. Bowe himself admitted this about Hide.

    I doubt Tyson could withstand a full Golota assault in the nuts, so it's pointless to compare.

    Golota never beat a tough, hard-punching fighter, not that I can remember. He fought his best fights against Bowe, tough fights, and he lost them both. He quit twice. Bowe showed a ton of heart in that fight, and plenty of toughness, did he not?

    Even a mention of Golota lowers the tone of the thread. He was a bum.

    Golota simply wouldnt even dream of doing that with Tyson.

    Not even a pretty **** version of Tyson would allow the likes of Golota to look good (as we saw). Bowe did.

    In a way Bowe is the Anti Klitscko. Beat a great, didnt do much else. Klitsckos, didnt beat a great, but have dominated for years (and have their health/wealth intact).

    Bowe was very good, im not trying to downplay on his accomplishments, i just feel he is slightly overrated.

    Outside of the Holyfield fights, he literally didnt do ****. Apart from the fights with Gatti, does anybody have a clue whio Mickey Ward is (was)?

    Is it a coincidence that the guys with the attractive records (on paper) fought some of the poorest opposition? Bowe, Vitali, Liston?
