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

Tyson in about 5-6 rounds, big easy slowish target that isn't too quick and is happy to give up his height is bread and butter for Tyson

 

This fight would be the one I would want to see the most if I had my choice. Bowe was supposedly so easy to hit, but he was never realistically hurt until the Hide fight where he was a whale.

 

Holyfield actually tried to do a Tyson impersonation in the first Bowe fight, pressuring the bigger man with left hooks over the top. Problem is Evander didn't have the power or stamina to make that strategy work, though he still had a great deal of success in the early rounds. Tyson would as well, he might even score a knockdown or two, but Bowe is a tough guy to finish. I think Bowe would find a home for his uppercuts and hurt Tyson, but like Ruddock he would pay a price for engaging Mike and not working his jab. I think Tyson edges out a brutal decision but with Bowe finishing strong. This would be a classic.

 

Shame this fight didnt happen, apparently Bowe has said, they both mutually agreed not to fight each other because they were from the same 'hood

<<<<<<<<<<<

 

what yr is teh mag pic from???

 

March 1993

 

Bowe MIGHT of ducked Tyson in 1993 - BUT i was watching a v.good documentry by Xperts called "Lennox Lewis: Beyond the Glory" And it said Tyson ducked Lennox in 1993 And 1996. Then Tyson didnt want to fight Lenny Lewis until 2002 when he needed money for debts, cos he knew Lennox would easy win ANY time they fought, cos Lennox whupped v.near-Prime Tyson in 1984 sparing - they said in teh doc after a few days Lewis was dancing round Tyson TAUNTING him with insults like Ali, E.G "Come on midget Mike, you cant touch me!" as he held him away with pawing jab what Neutralises head-movement And boxing his bloody head off + Lennox was 13 yrs before his Prime!!

1992 - 1995 Bowe KO's ANY Tyson IMO - so he silly to be scared.


Foreman Hoooooook! :hat

 

U TIT, Bowe and Tyson agreed not to fight each other because they were homeboys.

Theres various different versions of that sparring story, i heard Tyson K Lennox TFO of the ring. Lennox also admits this in the HBO Tyson Vs Lewis doc, Lennox himself admitted he was scared of Tyson.
The rest of the **** u were chatting has already been rebutted, your too thick to understand that.

 

:admin:admin**** THE BED!!

Is it on Youtube??? Plz post video to proove your not a lier.

And post some different versions of sparing story if you have teh links favorited.

 

Tyson was in jail in 1993, so no he didn't duck Lennox.

In 1995, Tyson's camp offered Lennox $13.5 for a PPV fight that would have happened in 1996 but Lennox Lewis turned it down because he didn't like the terms.

Actually when they were younger Tyson was getting the better of him in sparring, and Lennox in beyond the glory mentioned how after a few days he was starting to hold his own.

He even mentioned that Cus predicted that they would meet later as professionals and Lewis commented on how at the time he wasn't looking forward to that but later on as he progressed in his career he became more confident.

 

If Futch could really hammer home repeatedly to Bowe the importance of neutralizing Tyson's game, rather than looking to match fire with fire, Bowe has a better chance.

But I think Bowe would instead be playing it macho as usual, go out there looking for that big knockout rather than using all his tools, and just get caught a bit too often to win this fight.

Not feeling the stoppage though, I think it'd go the distance. Tyson wasn't as quick-fire devastating against larger guys, mainly down to leverage.

 

No point explaining that to him, hes a twat

 

Yeah...

There is a saying that from a distance they won't be able to tell who is who
