    Lyle drops decisions to both.

    Probably tough physical bouts which are not reflected in the scorecards. I think the scorecards would not be close but both guys would have to dig a little deep to get their arm's raised.

    I think both have a chance to stop him because both can fight at a high pace and Lyle could gass and get finished.

    Bowe might get dropped and really hurt but he should win.

    Holyfield Deals with him. Lyle doesn't bring anything Holyfield hasn't seen before, Lyle would make a good fight out of it but I don't see him actually winning it against a healthy version of Holyfield Up to the Tyson fights

    Honestly, I see Lyle being stopped by both. But he's on his feet when Holyfield stops him.

    The best Bowe stops him. He was comprehensively a better fighter, just better in almost every facet. Both had tons of heart.

    Holyfield is just too busy and too good a boxer. UD with a chance he finishes off Lyle late.

    Lyle would give both of them a good fight but I don't see him winning. Bowe I think KO's him in the mid rounds. Holyfield either wins a decision or stops Lyle late. Lyle would give both of them a good fight but I don't see him winning.
