    How is it ******ed though? Dougles destroyed Tyson in which there was no rematch so basically Dougles resumes is better then Tyson. I mean seriously you people are putting just 1 great win to make that fighter better resumes then the other fighter? If you going that logic then Moorer and Dougles are future hall of famers.

    Does it rank MILES ahead on anything on Tyson's resume?

    The Bowe=Arreola comparisons made a lot of sense to me. Christobal could have been more of a force in that ring if he dumped the blubber. He can say all he wants about how much more he trained, but it sure a hell didn't look like it when he stepped into that ring. Arreola clipped Vitali several times that a faster stronger fighter could have followed up into a knockdown.

    They are using faulty logic and when someone calls their bluff they have nothing and resort to petty insults. If they actually watched some of Bowe's fights (Hide, Golota etc.) they'd actually see the boxing skill he possesses.

    No. Tyson has the KO1 over Spinks, KO2 over Berbick, and the KO4 over Holmes...

    But Dougles still have a win over Tyson so in that logic Dougles resume is better. I mean thats why Bowe resumes is better then Vitali cause of 1 great win over 1 great fighter.

    Agreed. I wasn't particularly a fan of Bowe and I always thought he was afraid of Lewis - but his boxing skills can't be denied. Especially his in-fighting.

    Prime Bowe absolutely CLEANS OUT the current HW division with ease...

    True, Douglas' win over Tyson is better than any single victory on Tyson's resume - however, Tyson has beaten overall the higher calibre of fighters and he has victories over more ATG fighters. So, IMO, Tyson's resume is better overall.

    Had Bowe slightly ahead before last night. Not that Arreola is some atg beast but he showed more way more durability than I thought he possessed and knew he had some good inside skills and power. The way Vitali moved and boxed while throwing 800+punches was amazing. A great performance. Bowe just wasn't good for a long enough period of time. Vitali coming off a 4 year layoff and embarrassing three Ring top 10 hws really has bolstered his standing. His long-term consistency and dominance outweighs Bowe's short but brilliant prime imo.

    The win over Holyfield puts him slightly higher, in my opinion. But the rest of Bowe's resume is decent and comparable with Klitschko's.

    Moorer, on the other hand, has an uninteresting resume apart from his win over Holyfield. That's why Vitali ranks over him.

    The rest of resumes is not comparable then Vitali resumes cause beside Holyfield theres no other fighters on Bowe resumes that is better then Vitali resumes. Peter, Arreola, Gomez, Sanders, Johnson are better then any of Bowe resume except Holyfield. Again i didn't mention Golata cause Bowe didn't beat Golata, Golata beat himself for being ******ed.

    Bowe has a KO victory over EH and was the first man to do so.

    That's like a brick against Klitschko's feather....
