    Loses to Ali and Liston.

    Frazier is a 50-50

    Tyson beats all the rest.

    Great ideas for fights! I agree, Bowe wouldn't be able to let himself get hit against Mike as he did against Holy. I still think Riddick's style and size would bully Mike and keep him mostly off balance (not to mention one of the top ten jabs in heavy history). It would probably end with Mike getting dropped and sagging against the ropes while the ref saves him from that final uppercut.

    Bowe got torn up at close range in the first round against Hyde, until his corner yelled at him to use the jab. In the second round it was as if some kind of switch had been flipped.

    The thing is, Mike was more midranged, not close. Mike would have trouble getting past the jab (this is assuming we're talking about the Futch-fueled, Holy-beating Bowe), and every time he would he put himself in jeopardy of one of the most devastating uppercuts in heavy history.

    Prime Mike would give Bowe trouble early on and probably drop him. But Bowe would start landing with the jab...

    Shat the bed! This is what posers like you hang your hat on. I knew you couldn't keep away from my posts...

    Good eye nonetheless.

    Tyson makes Liston quit in 3 rounds. Happy Halloween!!

    Prime Mike demolishes everyone except Ali and maybe Liston.

    Don't expect an improvement from him lol. I think he's just a troll persona derived from another member here, otherwise he would have tried hard to be coherent weeks ago.

    There is no greater Troll here than him...he does have some comedic value, however.
