    Who wins this? I am only slightly sure Buster would pull it off.

    I do buy in to the whole 'Tokyo Douglas' thing and believe he could have beat fighters that night who would prove superior any other time, But…. I think you need a far worse version of R. Bowe than Holyfield 1 before I give any version of B. Douglas an edge over him.

    Think Bowe has it, but 2 big beasts like these in a battle when both on form would be a fine evenings entertainment to watch.

    Bowe.In Tokyo Douglas beat a fighter who had nearly zero stamina and who was a mental shot
    fighter .Douglas' Tyson win is the most overrated success.At least Bowe beat a focused and
    well-trained fighter.
