There are three heavyweight champions who came from Brownsville, Brooklyn around the same time: Mike Tyson, Rid**** Bowe, and Shannon Briggs. If you were to rank them as all timers, obviously that's the order you'd rank the three of them in.
But what about in 1997? If the three of them did a round robin that year, what are the outcomes?
Briggs in 1997:
W TKO 2 vs Eric French
W TKO 1 vs Melton Bowen
W RTD 9 vs Jorge Valdes
W MD 12 vs George Foreman (won lineal heavyweight championship)
Tyson in 1997:
L DQ 3 vs Holyfield
Bowe in 1997:
Did not fight after the two messy Golota fights in 1996
So, assuming no draws or other shenanigans, who wins:
Mike Tyson vs Rid**** Bowe
Mike Tyson vs Shannon Briggs
Shannon Briggs vs Rid**** Bowe
And how?
