Riddick Bowe vs Mike Tyson. Who wins?

Question

Both at their very best like Bowe was when he fought Holyfield and Tyson when he fought Berbick. 15 rounds.

Answer 1

I vote for Mike Tyson.

Answer 2

Tyson would kill him when he was in his prime.

Answer 3

Seeing as both of these boxers attract some of the wackiest finishes to boxing matches I have ever and will ever see(n), I say there is absolutely no way this fight could ever occur and end in a conventional manner.

I say Bowe wins this fight by escaping the arena before it burns to the ground, from the riot he and Tyson started inside brawling outside the ring, since the fight never got to the ring, as Tyson jumped Bowe during the ring entrance, with a weapon... allegedly.  Tyson BTW, would never be heard from again, but there would be sightings...

Answer 4

Bowe, for all his training flaws, was a superior boxer to Tyson.  Realistically, Bowe stood up to Holyfield where Tyson failed.  I say Riddick Bowe takes Tyson.

Answer 5

Tyson beat Bowe a few times.

Answer 6

Both are good but my favorite is Tyson :) ...I think he wins !

Answer 7

Iron Mike.

Answer 8

You know if they would have fought I think if Tyson would have gotten past Bowe punching power I think he would win a distance fight. Tyson was a much more schooled boxer and never let his body blow up in weight during prime years, Bowe always had lack of focus and it showed at in his second fight with Holyfield. This fight would depend on Bowe's mental state as well as Tyson's, but I will go with Tyson winning a close UD.

Answer 9

Tyson in 8 rounds. In his prime and under Rooney, Clayton and co he was a fantastic boxer with great head movement, fast hands and pure power. Once King got hold of him I would go with Bowe. Bowe and Razor Ruddick are similar types of fighters and Tyson beat Razor twice.

Answer 10

A great matchup between two guys that I don't beleive lived up to their respective promise. I think Bowe had the tools to beat Tyson. The long reach, solid chin and real good right hand. The problem with Bowe was outside of a very few fights, he never put it all together in a fight. Tyson, before Douglas was much more consistent.

If both guys bring their "A" game. I think Bowe would win.  In a similar fashion to the way Douglas beat Tyson. The long reach being a major key. He would have to fight smart, and not get lazy and make mistakes. Unfortuanately, Bowe tended to get lazy in and out of the ring. If he makes a mistake Tyson could KO him

Answer 11

A focused Bowe would thrash Tyson just like Lewis, Holyfield, Douglas, etc.

Answer 12

Tyson knocks him out in 5 rounds Tyson was just too strong

Answer 13

i pick tyson by mid round stoppage.

if a holyfield left hook can clothes line bowe, tyson will as well.

Answer 14

bowe in spite of his size was an excellent in-fighter, bowe in the late rouns, p/s lets not forget bowes punching power with either hand.

Answer 15

This fight could go either way since both have the punching power to hurt the other.
