Prime Bowe would beat prime Tyson

[1SILVA]

The similarities are that both possessed long hard jabs with good right hands and uppercuts. I personally think Bowe did all the above better than Buster did too. On top of this Bowe was a helluva inside fighter.

Ruddock was a one handed fighter who was there to be hit and was ko'd every time he stepped up in comp, except the second Tyson fight.

Im a Tyson fan, I just don't like the match up here. So I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but you're still my man.

Had Tyson not gone to prison, this would have been a tremendous fight. Rid**** Bowe was one of the best tall fighters to fight inside. For tyson to beat Bowe, he would have to ko Bowe within three rounds. If the fight went past 5 rounds, Bowe's jab and uppercuts would begin to wear Tyson down and eventually stop him late. that's if the fight took place in 1992. I believe it was Bowe's appetite and willingness to fight inside too much that had him washed up at 29. Gun to my head, if they fought in 92, Bowe by 11th round stoppage

I really dont see the similarity between Bowe and Douglas, Douglas jabbed and moved. I dont buy into the theory that Tyson couldnt beat someone who stood up to after Ruddock being my main example of that. Guess we are going to have to disagree here.

Ruddock did not stand up to him, Ruddock just stayed in there as long as he could and took a pounding, Douglas was actually standing his ground and asking questions of Tyson. Ruddock threw a couple of flurries at the end of 1/2 rounds that made it look like he was resisting but anyone with an obervant eye knows that he just flurried at the end of couple rounds and was a punchbag for the rest, plus Ruddock was no where near as good as Bowe.

Ruddock gave a good and brave showing against Tyson but I'd struggle to give him 4 rounds in both the fights.

Thats what im saying.

People act like it was a tough fight, its was for Ruddock but Mike had a field day it was like hitting heavy bag for him, Ruddock never asked questions that Douglas and Holyfield asked of him he just took some good shots and toughed it out.

[bojangles1987]

A prime Tyson hits harder than a prime Holyfield. Im not sure if Holyfield's knockdown of Bowe in the 3rd fight was because of Bowe's poor shape or just his power, but regardless Tyson would do a lot of damage on the inside.

The Bowe of the 3rd fight with Holyfield was not prime. Any basis of Bowe beating Tyson has to be using the Rid**** Bowe from the first Holyfield fight because at pretty much every other time he was too lazy and out of shape. The first Holyfield fight is basically the only time we saw Bowe at his best.

Tyson typically was easy to clinch and contain inside, and with a guy Bowe's size and as good as he is inside that is an advantage for Rid**** to fight inside. As with every Tyson comparison, Tyson would have to get Bowe out early or he would get worn down and KOed.

Rid**** Bowe only struggled with outside fighters Tyrell Biggs, Tony Tubbs, Andrew Golota 1 and 2, Evander Holyfield 2. On the inside he was great and i think he would be too big and his uppercuts would land too often.

Someone mentioned Frank Bruno, Razor Ruddock. Razor Ruddock was a hard hitter but he had very lazy offense, and he only really had one punch and that was the smash.

And Frank Bruno was a hard hitting also, but he had no inside fighting skills. As it showed when he kept holding and hitting, Mike Tyson not knowing what to do on the inside.

Why do you even bother creating threads? You know absolutely nothing about either fighter's career's yet you make a baseless prediction on a silly mythical match up.To talk about history,you must learn and understand history and this applies to boxing history also,Something you know nothing about.

I think he is the same guy who called himself Lenin. He came in, made a lot of noise and quickly disappeared without a trace. Both were very annoying and ******ed. Troublemakers.

He'll be back. Are you lads proud of yourselves reporting him like a coward? No wonder you avoided him in any debate.

Btw keep saying I have alts, ****s. I would have been banned long ago if that was true.
