Tyson on the night of the Spinks fight vs. Bowe of the first Holyfield fight?

****...that's tough. bowe could handle adversity, we saw that in the holyfield fights. but that was against a significantly smaller man who was outboxing, not outmuscling or outpunching

i get the feeling that bowe's jab would do wonders for the first 6 but once tyson closed the distance, started working the body, and landing with regularity to the head bowe would lose that desire for the win. He'd focus on surviving, tying tyson up and trying to fight in close. Against tyson, he'd find something throwing combos to the body and an uppercut far better than his own

The last half is painful for Bowe and after 2 knockdowns, Tyson takes a clear decision

 

Wow.

This would have been a hell of a fight.

I give the edge to Tyson.

Any fight where Tyson is involved and I don't see the other guy stopping Tyson from landing I give the edge to Tyson. Only guys who are able to thwart or evade Tyson from executing are the guys who have shot at beating him.

Bowe is not one of those guys.

Tyson TKO 7

 

Tyson takes it in an awesome fight.

 

Bowe KO 7

 

Hell of a fight.
I think that Bowe was way too easy to hit though, and that would prove to be very bad against tyson

 

Awesome fight! I would have to go with Bowe, simply because Tyson always struggles against men who don't back down from him, and this version of Bowe would'nt. Infact this version of Bowe is superior to any version of Spinks IMO, especially the trembling wreck that fought Mike.
Riddick might have to taste canvas, but i see him winning this handily by a late stoppage, maybe the 10th, or by a deserved points win. Good Fight.

 

Bowe has the offensive skills in close, but is far too lacking defensively to win against Tyson. I'd wager Tyson would put him out within the first 6 rounds.

 

Bowe was simply too easy to hit, and too willing to exchange punches to ever beat Tyson. Mike would take him out within 7.

 

I'm going to go with Tyson, but this would have been one of the toughest challenges of his prime career.

 

Either Tyson early or Bowe late.

Bowe's infighting skills could potentially pose a big problem for Tyson, but they wouldn't even come into play if Bowe couldn't stand up to his power first.

 

tyson by ud

 

Tyson by KO 10th....


The Tyson of 88 doesnt back down from adversity......


The Bowe of 91, despite being a brilliant fighter, i cant see him taking tysons perfect combination punching, Tyson (of 88) is faster,and dare i say hits harder than anyone bowe had faced at that current time...

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

You mean 1992. :deal

Foreman Hooooook! :hat

 

Tyson KO 5

Bowe is easy to hit and never fought anyone as fast,powerful and accurate as Tyson
