    Tyson KOs Morrison

    I favor Bowe in 95’. Not sure about 96’ though. He declined quite a bit from the Gonzalez/Holyfield 3 fights to the Golota ones. Bowe was never good defensively, and even though he had a good chin, he didn’t face many punchers & finishers like Tyson.

    Yes, he kos Morrison.
    The Bowe of that time, hard to say.
    I give Tyson a shot, by then Riddick was slipping and sloppy.

    Tyson vs Bowe would be brutal slugfest with both ending staying on their feets, similar like Tyson vs Ruddock 2, both of their faces would be swollen.
    It will be tough decision well earned by both with Bowe as a winner.

    Bowe vs Morrison would be similar like Mercer vs Morrison.

    I would like to see others oppinions about these two and oppinion about mine comment.

    Tyson stops Morrison with ease. Bad stylistic match up for Tommy.

    Tyson loses to Bowe in 95. Maybe a decision. But Bowe is really untested vs punchers so a Tyson tko win won't shock me.

    I think both fights would be brutal. Tommy would fight Mike and mid ninties he would catch him. But Mike's chin was still intact then. I think this fight might look more like the Mercer fight. Bowe I think batters mid ninties Mike. Tyson is made for Bowes inside game. I dont think Riddick gives him a chance to get his own short game going and he maybe stops a battered Mike on his feet around the 10th.

    Bowe is motivated by Tyson in 95. He won't skip training and overlook him like he did with Golota.
    Turns Tyson over in the late rounds after beating him down with right hands and upprcuts
