Bowe Vs Tyson/Lewis

Bowe would have beat Tyson in the 1992 time period.

I don't think Bowe would have beaten Tyson before prison. Honestly I'm not sure he'd have beaten him in the 90's, period.

Any Lewis creams the corresponding contemporary version of Bowe, on that I'm 100%. Hell, he knew it himself.

 

You don't think the Bowe of the Holyfield fight would have beat the Ruddock Tyson?

What makes you feel Lewis who wasn't even in his prime would have beat a prime Bowe?

Just want to hear your thoughts.

 

I always believed that Bowe was a guy that would have a great chance vs Tyson. In the 80's, I think Tyson beats him. The Tyson you are speaking of didn't use head movement and threw limited combinations, both of which were things that made him very successful when he was in what people called his "prime."

Bowe I think would beat Lewis handily, probably knocking him out somewhere in the mid rounds, 4-7.

The Tyson that fought Holyfield... I think he would lose to Bowe assuming Bowe was in peak physical condition, which he wasn't always....

 

Sizewise Bowe always has a chance with Tyson. Bowe was the start of the big heavyweights, which is why George Foreman in his comeback never really mentioned fighting Bowe or Lennox. I think Bowe beats Tyson in the 1990s at anytime, except maybe in 1996, and Bowe would always lose to Lennox. Lennox lost to guys with right hands, but he would not be caught with that left hook of Bowe. Lennox would keep the fight outside and land the right and Bowe would be stopped. At anytime in the 1990's except for maybe 1992.

 

in 92 bowe woulda beaten lewis
in 91 tyson woulda fuked up bowe badly.....bowe never had the style to beat tyson......coezter hit bowe too much...coezter cant punch/ tyson can.....tyson tko in 4 rds over bowe

 

Are you joking? It's possible but I don't think that's probable. Bowe had a great chin and a phenomenal jab and an entire arsenal of great punches. He would not be an easy 4 round KO for Mike Tyson, no way.

 

Tyson-Bowe could have gone down as the greatest heavyweight fight of all time. I see Bowe having his moments before his bravado gets him dusted. And Bowe beats Lewis.

 

he loses to peak tyson in 8 but beats lewis on points .

 

My views exactly.

 

Bowe would not have beaten Tyson: When interviewed about Tyson in 1992, Bowe said something along the lines of: "When I see Mike Tyson on street, I cross over!" Bowe was undoubtedly scared of Tyson.

The closest Lewis-Bowe came to actually happening was in 1993 & at THAT stage of their respective careers, Bowe was much the more advanced fighter. Lewis was not the fighter he would go on to become. Bowe take this one iof it happens CIRCA 1993!

 

I think Bowe was good enough to win all those fights at his best. Tyson would have to be at his best to beat Bowe.

 

Bowe was giving Mike his respect. Bowe and Tyson were good friends (i believe both from Brownsville) and were complimentary to one another. I think Bowe even wrote to Tyson in prison
