    I expected to see more shouts from Jeffries and Johnson.

    If you put within punching range of prime Tyson and say he's not allowed to run away how will he possibly survive those short hooks?

    It's probably a cliche at this point but I'd go with Tyson.

    Bowe? He had one of the most lethal uppercuts in the division, that would be his main weapon. If it's enough, I can't say.

    One of the best uppercuts, but not the most lethal.

    In my head, shot for shot Bowe will go down before Tyson. Bowe had great leverage on the inside but he didn't hit as hard as Tyson for me, wasn't as quick and wasn't as good at avoiding shots.

    I still think Tyson should be excluded from this. He's not an infighter.

    Toney from the Holyfield fight has to be really high

    Yeah, it could end this way. Or Tyson could be caught by that uppercut trying to rest on the inside, which Bowe probably would let him do much of. I'd put no big money either way in a fight between these two.
