    Boxing was robbed of one of the greatest fights of all time.

    Fight still could have happened if Tyson had not gotten injured in training. The fight was supposed to happen before the trial, but my recollection is Tyson injured his rib in training and pulled out. Then the trial happened, and the rest is history.

    Not sure who wins in 1991
    But guaranteed Holyfield gives Tyson his toughest fights ever.

    Holyfield always had Tysons number, BUT Tyson was good enough to beat Holyfield as well

    1991 is a far more competitive fight. Tyson may of been slipping, but not nearly to the extent he already had by 1996. People who were there scoff at this vehemently. In 1996, it was supposed to be Holyfield who was finished, not Tyson. It just wasn't the case though. Evander had more in the tank and seized the opportunity, refused to be intimidated and took Mike out of relevance.

    I think Tyson still gets him in '91. He wanted that fight as much as Holyfield did, maybe even more so. But I agree Holyfield is Tyson's toughest fight with Bowe being his most dangerous.
