Maybe he was damaged goods after 12 rounds with Holyfield - This criteria was used after Ruddock fought Tyson and then knocked down a few opponents. Or are these points only used when attempting to discredit Lewis?
Sensation wise,it was the first Tyson fight. For actual achievement,the second Bowe fight must be tops. Evander was more of an underdog for Tyson,but Bowe was better than '96 Tyson.
Bowe and Tyson. Old Foreman could be beat by anyone who used movement and i don't think not being able to hurt ancient statue version of Foreman is any great shakes either. Moorer was a good win, Douglas was decent but Douglas quit in that fight and went straight to cash his cheque, if he had that mentality in the Tyson fight he would have been stopped before the third.
I remember him being pretty busted up at the end but i don't remember him being hurt much, it's been a while since i watched it though i could be wrong.
Bowe II, one of the best examples of why heavyweights sometimes get less "P4P" credit than they deserve.
