what the fuk do you mean bowe didn't try to Unify titleswhat part of undisputed heavyweight champion don't you understand. bowe won the ibf, wba and wbc title from holyfield. he was undisputed! what other title did he have to get?
being unified heavyweight champion, is being unified champion period. if you think tyson is on a higher pedestal because he did it younger by beating boncrusher smith, berbick and tony tucker fuk outta here with that bullshyt.
He was undisputed till he purposely gave up one of the belts so he wouldn't have to fight LL. Clearly ducking someone who was a threat. That in itself drops him further down then Tyson. Tyson pretty much fought everyone on his come up & defended his titles against the better fighters during his initial reign. You can't blame or even take shots at Tyson for fighting those guys when they were the best available at that time. Bowe on the other hand went out of his way to avoid certain fighters which is a fact. Keep trying with your weak arguments
I just came in here to say, Riddikk Bowe was a beast brehs. Him vs Tyson would've been a GREAT fight
if only bowe could have maintained discipline dude would have gone on to greater things

Bowe went so out of his way to avoid Lennox, that he agreed to fight him in late 95, only for Lennox to fukk that up by getting KOed hy Oliver McCall.

Let's also look at his defenses. Pinklon Thomas was a bum, receded hairline nikka lookingwhat the fuk do you mean bowe didn't try to Unify titles

Tyrell Biggs wasn't shyt, he a sawft fakkit who fought for the white man's flag. fukk that nikka.
Then came
who was officially at that point. Dude aged faster than Steve Martin's hair.Then Tony TraNsfaT Tubbs. Wack ass fight, he took one left to the temple then went down like a bytch.
Spinks I'll give credit for.
Frank Bruno was a Brit fakkit. Dude made girl noises when Tyson hit him.
Carl the truth Williams was fixed, King paid off the ref. Waste of a bout. At this point, King wanted to line up tomato cans for Mike to beat on across the world. Refs were gonna be bought, but cash was gonna be made.
Finally, Mike fights someone who doesn't fear him, then gets KTFO. Mike was bad, but he was overrated. Cacs inflated him because they didn't know that the Heavyweight division was at a low point. They see a bunch of KOs, then spaz like they always do.
Consider this: If Douglas didn't give up during his fight with Tucker, what would have happened then? Then it's Tyson-Douglas in August 1987 for the Undisputed crown. Heavyweight history, hell sports and pop culture as we know it, may have turned out a lot differently. But it didn't, all because Buster got depressed while he was fighting for the vacant IBF crown.
