Well, Bowe was well known for eating pretty much anything that got within arms length of him, so I'd say you'll get no argument from me.

Bowe couldn't take the incoming. He thinks Golota rocked him? Tyson's handspeed & brute power would knock his socks off...with his head to follow.

On the other hand Tyson was stopped by Douglas and Holyfield. Bowe hit harder than they did.

But they didn't deck him with one shot, no one ever did that to a prime Tyson. Mike will land some shots coming in against Bowe. And as G.I. said, if Golota rocked his world, prime Tyson would in the early going.

That's right. Douglas & Holyfield (in different ways) blunted & stifled Tyson's offense...Bowe couldn't blunt my offense --- his defense was truly that poor. Douglas & Holyfield didn't go punch-for-punch & lead with their faces...Bowe did, & would.

But Tyson didn't have the height Golota had which was a telling factor in that fight.

Tyson never fought anyone in his prime as good as a prime Bowe, in fact, the only fighters he ever fought who were as good as Bowe beat him.
Right...without giving away all defense.

Eddie Futch would have prepared Bowe.
