    This.

    Bowe was easy to hit. Tyson was not.

    Bowe was a good puncher. Tyson was a dynamite puncher.

    The size advantage might help Bowe for a bit, or it might just mean he'd make a bigger hole in the canvas when Tyson put him through it.

    Bowe was far too easy to hit for Mike, and when hurt, Bowe's instinct was to fight back instead of clinching.

    Tyson in about 6-7.

    I'd say Tyson has to get rid of Bowe inside 4, probably would
