Biggs was highly skilled, great reflexes, coordination, hand & foot speed, he seemed to have the lot for a long range boxer to be successful, but his defense against the world class boxers couldn't measure up - he didn't seem to have that sense of anticipation to avoid punches. He had a great trainer in Benton, so that couldn't be the reason....

Not too many people can say that they fought Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe. The only other man I can think of who did that is Evander Holyfield.

Riddick Bowe was a great fighter

He was promoting the fight. Everyone knew he wasn’t on tyson level. Tyson was a 7/1 favourite in vegas going into the fight.

This was a great fight, remember watching this a few years ago.

If Biggs was managed properly and not rushed into a world title fight after only 15 fights I think he could have gone on and been a real force in the heavyweight division but the beating he took from Mike Tyson he was never the same again .but to be fair to Biggs he did turn up for this fight unlike the fight in London a couple of years before with Gary mason .big respect Tyrrell Biggs

They rushed him into world title fight for a reason. Biggs was a big coke addict so this made his team realize that they might as well get him a title fight sooner than later before he ruined his career with his coke addiction. A lot of fighters in the 80s blamed their addictions (specifically cocaine) for their decline in performance including Tyson.

This was a good fight's.!! Riddick bowe was a beast in his prime..even though tyrell biggs loss but I could see he did wobble bowe..so far biggs was good fighters too !!.. If tyrell biggs was not in drugs and if he had a good motivational trainer in his side I honestly believe he would probably be a great fighters and be in top among the fighters in that era..but his career ended without coming to the top.. But he had the quality has a great fighter.but unfortunately he mixed up with drugs..and did not came at the top level as most of the great fighters.. But still he is a olympic gold 🏅 medalist that we can't take that from him.. Just wonders if biggs was in good hands like cuz or Dundee..the top trainers I think he would be a great fighter.. But anyway he is still much better fighter then today's era's top heavyweight..as far as I could see !!..

If jjust briggs had a great trainer in the past or a mentor in the past maybe he could be a greatest fighter and heavyweight champion... But unfortunately Biggs careers was end up in drugs & alcohol and Wash out as fighter alongside his careers..

Biggs .if he was with good trainer..in today's heavyweight era's I honestly think he can beat most of all top heavyweight such as , Tyson fury, deontay wilder,or Andy Ruiz,or Antony Joshua,or usyk..a lots of fighters..

As a pro, he showed wills and balls to fight by knocking out alotta people in the Ring! But my men Bowe was scared of Lennox! When Mike was in prison I went with Riddick Bowe to go visit Mike Tyson and Bowe kind of admired Mike and wouldn't wanna fight him, was he scared? That am not sure, but I know he has a lot of admiration for Mike, was he scared, maybe, but he claims one of the most impotent reasons is because they came from the same hood, and Mike was very raw then and intimidating with kats from their hood! "I was supposed to fight Mike back then too when he first came out of prison but they picked the white dude for money reasons!

To your comment on Riddick, "Bowe" fought Lennox in the amateur (Olympics) and lost by quitting, so he felt something he probably didn't want to feel in the pro, but he later regretted it! Maybe to you Bowe doesn't seen like an entertaining Boxer, I thought personally Lennox was not exciting to watch but anyway choices are different! Bowe wasn't exactly scared, he just wasn't ready to take that chance yet, he just became a champ and he's first defence was to be somebody he lost to in the Olympics? That's No, he wants to enjoy his belt first before that! Alotta people don't understand that. Alright man!

That's how Lennox Lewis became a champion of the world.

Can't believe how many of you post that this was a "great" fight and / or how it reinforces your respect for Biggs. The spot on comment is the one stating his style and psyche was perfect for the amateurs but not the pros. He was a big Mark Breland.

Ridick you are true figther ilike youer stlye let,'s go on

The sudden rise and fall of Tyrell Biggs I personally blame on Lou Duva and his people. Instead of honing his skills as a stick-and-move stylist, the Duvas tried to make Tyrell into two fisted battler. Big mistake! Also, keeping Biggs in the "limelight" rather than taking into the "backwoods", where there would've been less pressure was largely a financial decision. He should've been brought along slowly as a pure boxer before any big tests. Biggs would've been a better fighter and not the tragedy that he later became. (Losing to Tyson in his prime is no badge of shame any more than losing to Joe Louis was in the 1930's and 40's. But to be rushed into the match after 15 uneven wins, Tyrell was little more than an opponent.)
