Tyson - Ruddock Weigh In Video

Look at how skinny Bowe's face looks. Mike is like a titanium Greek statue. Was there ever a fighter more built to fight and take punishment than Tyson?

 

Bowe really had a great personality. I remember after the fight Pacheco was interviewing him and he started argueing with Ferdie that he never gave him any credit. Bowe beat the crap out of Marin and Ferdie just brushed him off as being a bum.

 

Bowe was a goof outside the ring, but inside of it he was all business. Holyfield reckoned Bowe would fold up too and he learned otherwise. All the guys who thought Bowe would be a pushover and tried to mentally get into his head got their asses kicked. Holyfield, Gonzalez, Tillery, Tubbs, etc. All these guys knew Bowe from the gym. Gonzalez beat Bowe badly in the olmypics, worse than lewis did, but Bowe knew he was better as a pro. I know he felt the same way about Lewis.

 

Tyson looked too big post-prison. Not like a conditioned fighting machine in this weigh in. I don't think his neck was gone. Just a different haircut but maybe you're right.
