Mike tyson vs riddick bowe 1991?

[Vinsanity]

Who wins

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Mike would have a punchers chance and not much else. Not only did Bowe have a great jab but he was a much better infighter than Tyson. Bowe KO 10.

[Rexob]

Tyson way to quick, speed of combos and hard hitting Tyson probably would have stopped Bowe in 4 or 5 rounds.

Interesting matchup.

Bowe was still a little raw & Tyson was seemingly past his best, if not physically, certainly in the way he fought, as he had regressed into a one-dimensional slugger who didn't throw combinations or move his head.

I'm wavering on this, but I'm counting on the fact that Bowe probably wasn't quite ready in '91, plus he was always easy to hit.

Bowe had heart in spades & good skills, even if he was a bit easy to hit.

Tyson was easy to hit by '91 also, but he did have a good chin & despite him being known as a quitter, he was a tough guy.

I think Tyson might have taken this on points in '91, but just about.

Bowe would have made him work for his money & Tyson would have had to endure to rocky moments.

If it was '92 Bowe, I'd pick him all day.

Tyson more than likely had the best chin of any other heavyweight, with him being a smaller heavyweight it's even more impressive the shots he took over his career, when most would have fallen and retired with a third of what Tyson took. Not to sure about quitter he took his beatings better than any other heavyweight has? Is there any others great heavyweight champions that have endured more punishment than the great Mike Tyson? Doubtfull.

That's the way I see it to pretty much.

Mike had a good chin, holyfield had a better one and took way more punishment.

[Evander]

It's a good choice of fight and circumstances when you look at it.
Weight plays a role and Tyson would give up what ? 15 20 25 Pounds ?
Bowe's power was good and he got full weight behind his punches which came mainly from his body.
I think Tyson would have won with all things being fair.

[drunkenpiper36]

By this point Bowe would have been a tough fight for the version of Tyson who had started head hunting rather than throwing the lethal combinations that he did a few years earlier. But Bowe was also still a work in progress. Its a tough call but I might be apt to picking Tyson by decision in similar fashion to the way he did in the Ruddock fight.
