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.

[Syntax Error]

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.

mike tyson all day long in 1991 ...

[Klee Gluckman]

King offered this fight Bowe and Newman sad they were not ready.

1. Either Bowe was not ready or did not feel confident in bating Tyson.
2. Tyson could still fight for 12 rounds and take hard punches in 2991.
3. We never saw Bowe face a hard ouncher.
4. Bowe in his prime would destroy a post prison Tyson no worries at all.
5. Can't call this fight.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

- When Bowe was coming up and Tyson was making his post prison comeback, but since they were from the same shambles of a neighborhood, they agreed not to fight each other.

Prime to prime Tyson whoops Bowe easily who was was known as a Lewie ducker and sucker puncher. He could barely handle Field much less Golota whom past prime Tyson whooped handily.

[Ambling Alp II]

Bowe didn't duck Lewis. That is a myth.
Prime for prime Bowe beat Holyfield.
Past his prime Tyson lost to further past his prime Holyfield.
Tyson did not actually beat Golota. Bowe did.

[Nile4000]

A lot of intangibles, but it adds up to a draw for me.

Prime for prime Bowe beat Holyfield.
Past his prime Tyson lost to further past his prime Holyfield.
Tyson did not actually beat Golota. Bowe did.

- Irrelevant to the the header.

But...Bowe did duck Lewie who ducked the Vitali big money HBO rematch by relinquishing his WBC to retire prematurely from his 5 last fight schedule.

He mommy that he lived with told him he ain't fighting Vit, and being a good mommy's boy, he retired.

And Tyson broke Golota's orbital in the first round that made Golota quit. Tyson won easily, but was stripped of the win for testing positive for marijuana...only in boxing, folks...

Tyson did in fact beat Golota. Stopped him in the 3rd round.

They changed it to a No Contest because he had weed in his system. I don't acknowledge or respect that. I acknowledge his victory over Golota.

Bowe signed a contract to fight Lewis. He didn't back out of it.
Lewis already stopped Klitschko once. No reason why Vitali deserved a rematch.
Tyson knew the rules before the fight and broke them. So he didn't deserve the win.

[gilgamesh]

They stepped into a ring and Golota left on the ass end of an ass kicking. If you think Tyson didn't deserve to win because he smoked a joint that's just stupid.

If the worst you can tell me a guy did before a fight is smoke a joint. What I heard you say is that he was the better fighter. Because weed ain't got a damn thing to do with whether or not you can fight. It's not a Performance Enhancer. It's not a steroid. It's not any of that.

It'd be like thinking a guy should be stripped of a win because he had a 6 pack the week before.

- Bowe publicly with great public fanfare dumped his WBC in the garbage can rather than fight his mandatory Lewis. Bowe dumped every title he owned to avoid his mandatories.

Vit rematch was WBC mandatory and the Biggest, most lucrative Fight to be had in that moment. Lewie had 5 more fights planned before retirement, but after Vit BTFO out of him, Lewie dumped his WBC the day before he was due to be stripped.

Tyson lost according the the shyte rules of boxing which notoriously is the most corrupt sport former major sport in history.

BALCO Honcho Vic Conte was distributing PEDs from 1988 to 2002...ie_

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone naturally produced by the kidneys that stimulates erythropoiesis. Originally used to treat anemia, when artificially introduced to the body, EPO stimulates an increased production of red blood cells, enhancing the body's ability to transport oxygen.

Human growth hormone (HGH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary and is generally anabolic. In theory, this hormone builds muscle mass, although some studies suggest it has no effect on building muscle mass to a degree that would benefit athletes.

Modafinil is a mild stimulant designed to be taken before competition in order to sharpen an athlete's senses and performance. Legally marketed as a treatment for narcolepsy and sleep disorders, modafinil is not regarded as a high-risk drug by athletic governing bodies, but is still banned from competition.

Testosterone Cream or "The Cream" is a salve that when rubbed on the body introduces testosterone, trimming body fat and building muscle. Though less effective than testosterone injections, "The Cream" was widely used because it did not cause a significant rise in normal testosterone levels when scrutinized by a drug test.

Tetrahydrogestrinone, THG, or "The Clear," is a designer anabolic steroid that provides the same effects to the user as testosterone or other anabolic steroids, that is, making muscles bigger and stronger. THG was the main steroid distributed by BALCO, with the other products more of a regimen to heighten its effects in accordance with an individual athlete's requirements.[2]

BALCO Vic now runs VADA which is the WBC drug testing provider which he with the female Vegas Doc started whose name I can't immediately recall. She amazingly "lost" the drug testing results of Wlad/Brewster where after an easy guaranteed KO, Wlad suddenly collapsed. Days before with Wlad a HUGE favorite of the Bookies, they suddenly suspended any more wagers after a Huge influx of British wagers on Brewster which is what they do when the obvious fix is in for a fight.

OK, so tell us how much you made on that fight...

[Ambling Alp II]

Wow, that is a lot of BS.

Wow, that is a lot of BS.

A lot of his posts are pure fiction.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

Wow, that is a lot of BS.

A lot of his posts are pure fiction.

- The gibbering gibberish of the usual low brow suspects populating the corrupt boxing universe, ie U and Alpsy in this example, is to be expected...only in boxing, folks...
