Riddick Bowe vs Mike Tyson

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by pacpowerpellet, Dec 9, 2010.


  1. Who wins this the riddick bowe that beat holyfield in the first fight vs prime iron mike tyson that fought spinks i think that bowe could wear tyson down because of his huge size advantage but then again i cant see him being able to stand and trade with him either like he did with holyfield im not sure on this one who do you pick?

    Bowe was an animal right into his last fight of his prime.

    I think that Tyson would win simply because he would land more, but it would be a hell of a fight and I could see it going either way. One thing for sure though is it doesn't go to the cards.

    Tyson would have a lot of problems with a guy that big and with that good of a jab. Bowe takes it.

    This.

    Bowe carfuelly avioded good punchers, and Tyson, with his hand speed, timing, and comination punching adding to the natural power, was the one fo the very best.

    It's a pick em but I'd argue that the Bowe that fought Holyfield would stand a very good shot at winning.

    Dehydrated elephant baby Riddick or prime one who walked in to "In the air tonight" against Holyfield?

    The latter gives Tyson all he can handle and then some, the dehydrated elephant baby does not make it three rounds.

    Bowe wasn't an ATG. Tyson is. The only Tyson that Bowe could have beat is the faded one that lost to Lewis, Danny Williams etc.

    Tyson by KO inside 6 rounds.
