Mike Tyson '88' vs Riddick Bowe '92'

No, the fact is that Tyson and Lewis hit much harder than Bowe. Bowe landed flush shot after flush shot against Holyfield in their first fight and Holyfield took them without too many problems. Tyson almost knocked Holyfield down with the first punch he threw. Holyfield was happy to go toe to toe with Bowe but fought a much more cautious fight against Tyson. Bowe couldn't even hurt Larry Donald when he landed a bare knuckled one two at their press conference. Can you imagine what it would have been like if Tyson or Lewis landed that?

Bowe had the tools to beat Tyson but not the discipline or game plan.

Bowe was a very entertaining fighter but had big limitations.

100% agree--88 Tyson was savage--even Bowe wouldn't be able to withstand Mike's blitzkrieg early attack!
