Hard to tell... most boxers spend a round "feeling" each other out and warming
up.. not these guys.. Tyson has got POWER, he is agressive but he's very far
from being a smart fighter. He hasbeen in trouble several times because he
essentialy has very little defense. He often throws punches with a foot or
two off the ground. He leaves himself wide-open sometimes, and his
over-aggressiveness can lead to being easily counter-punched. Of course he
has massive power which always overwhelme his opponents. But the Buster
Douglas fight, the early rounds of the Larry Holmes fight and the amateur loss
to Henry Tillman in the U.S. Box-offs shows he can be beaten by a boxer with a
reach advantage and an excellent jab.. People don't realize Holmes was doing
very well before he got cocky, came inside and got hammered. If anyone can
beat Tyson its probably Bowe. Hollyfield might be able to simply because he
is an amazingly skilled boxer with a phenomenol will. But we'll see, hard to
say how good Tyson is off of 90 seconds..
