Bowe beats Lewis in 93 when they would've been lined up to fight each other. Lennox is lucky the narrative surrounding them not fighting is in his favor because he didn't become the HW force that he's remembered for until around 95-96

Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis (in the early/mid 90s obv) - in the early 90s Mike no question; mid 90s i would lean more towards lewis. it wouldnt be as one sided as their eventual fight

George Foreman vs. Mike Tyson - ive talked about this plenty of times but the Tyson that ruled the heavies in the latter half of 80s into the early 90s DOES NOT lose to Foreman at all. Post prison Mike in the mid 90s, Foreman would have more of a chance to beat Mike..however Foreman by the mid 90s was aging and was already having trouble beating lesser fighters than him and Mike

Lennox Lewis vs. Riddikk Bowe -
50/50

Riddikk Bowe vs. Mike Tyson -
I'm not high on Bowe like most. Pre prison Mike knocks Bowe the fukk out; post prison Mike it would be a toss up since by the mid 90s Bowe was already on the slide since his conditioning was so up and down

George Foreman vs. Riddikk Bowe - I see Bowe playing it very safe and boxing smart and decisioning Foreman in tough fight

Ike Ibeabuchi vs. Any/Everyone - this is too open ended to say except I do think ike would have pick up a belt at some point
