Tyson or bowe. Who's doing better in heavy weight clashes?

    He used his jab much the same way that Tyson did where he jabbed his way inside to set up a combination.

    The problem is Tyson was a midget and had to bring the fight inside, Bowe was a SHW and shouldn't be bringing the fight inside.

    I mean in the rematch Holy beat him from the outside, that should never happen.

    I don't think Bowe had the ability to fight on the back foot, he had the physical attributes but not the actual boxing acumen to pull it off.

    It's too hard to gauge Bowe in terms of his career. He came from nowhere as a big underdog when it was his title shot, and his prime ended the second he got his paycheck.

    I rate Tyson #1 H2H, but his legacy and ATG ranking is where he falters. What a specimen he was.

    . He was indeed. By rights he should have been at the top a lot more years. Head to head against bowe and holyfield if tyson was undefeated you'd have to make tyson favourite.

    Tyson certainly proved himself against a much greater depth of contenders, and a much wider range of styles.

    I would be very confident favouring him to do better in a series against the ATGs.
