Tyson Fury vs Riddick Bowe

[Bodyshot3]

We might be in danger of disappearing down some huge, sidebar rabbit holes gents

For me, I think Fury beats Bowe but it is a tight one.

Fury might well go down, Bowe had that in his locker - it might be a SD - but the Morecambe Man still has enough.
A rematch might well be on the cards....some unfinished business.

What swings it for me is that Fury is a huge bloke who can box, scores accurately, hits hard when needs be and ain't going to be physically rail-roaded by Bowe. If he goes down, he gets back-up and if Bowe wants a shoving match, Fury can oblige.

Fury is far from perfect or invincible - you can see the American Tyson exploding out of the blocks and nailing him with three or four huge shots he just won't survive, Holmes winning a battle of jabs/distance and Lewis winning as well - but I would still contend Fury edges Bowe and without the mind-feck that Bowe and Lewis never resolved their differences

Fair post my man.

Bowe would beat Fury.

He might have had a short prime. However I am assuming this is the best version of each figther.

People might not like this but Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe and Lewis in their primes beat any heavyweight champion from the 21st century.

[Klee Gluckman]

Are you people backing Fury having a laugh.

Bowe is not Wilder, Bowe is an Eddie Futch machine with infighting skills, who never got ko's once. His worst result is a Split Decision loss to Holyfield.

You guys really think Fury is going to beat this guy. Bowe would chop Fury down like a tree.

Bowe may have not been around that long, but head to head he is a monster.

I am sorry but I see no world in which Fury beats Bowe.

Bowe barely scraped by a faded Tubbs of course Fury has a good chance

At their best either Big Daddy Bowe by decision or late round stoppage.

[elmersalsa]

Riddick Bowe by decision or late KO. Bowe is one of those fighters that never took advantage of his great potential as one of the greatest heavyweights ever. He had it all. A very complete boxer.

[Les Norton]

Both in their best day, I see Riddick Bowe getting a decision.
Anything less than that for Bowe (which was very frequently) Fury wins in a canter or gets him out late on a mercy stoppage

Fury barely scraped past John McDermott, losing a close one to a former world title holder is much more forgivable.
