    ‘Buster’ Douglas from Tokyo against ‘Big Daddy’ from Holyfield I — both fighters on the best night of their careers; 12 rounds, who wins?

    Douglas W UD. Douglas would have the right game plan to beat Bowe. Stick & move, then tie him up when he comes in. Unlike the Holyfield fight, Bowe will not have a height, reach, size or power advantage (Douglas is an underrated puncher whose power is on the same level as Bowe), as well not being as ill-tempered as Holyfield into being easily gauged into a slugfest. Douglas will frustrate Bowe all night with his long(er) jab, footwork & hand-speed. Bowe will have his moments where he'll rock & maybe drop Douglas, but will still lose a competitive, but clear decision.

    That's a real close fight. Tokyo Douglas would have given Bowe, Holyfield, and Lewis issues.
