What Kept Bowe from Fightning Tyson?

Bowe probably would have beaten Tyson because of Riddick's great infighting skills. Tyson actually liked a teeny bit of room to get his powerful combo's off, but Riddick was very adept at getting in close and letting his hands go. Riddick's jab was also an underrated weapon that he used very effectively when he was at his best.

 

I don't agree that Bowe would have defeated Tyson although it would have been awesome to watch. Tyson being incarcerated from early 92' to mid-95' ostensibly kept this fight from having a chance to actually happen. Those two were rumored to be friends also as they were both from Bed-Sty in Brooklyn. Bowe had a propensity to slug and get hit and this a very bad idea against Tyson. Bowe would make it interesting but would probably get kayoed at some point in the fight.

 

Well realistically the earliest time this fight could have happened would have been in 1996 before Bowe fought Golota.

Considering the shape he was from Holyfield 3 onwards I tend to think Post Prison Tyson would have flogged him.
