    Tyson get outmuscled, conterpunched an dropped on his ass in the same way it happened in 96. Agree?

    No version of Tyson would ever beat Holyfield. Holyfield would win that fight 100 out of 100 times.

    Agreed. I get tired of the Tyson ball hugging on here an the what ifs, even though he is one of my favorites

    Actually I do.I think Holyfield is always going to be a bad Match up For Mike,would have loved to see Tyson Vs Bowe though.

    Tyson 86-88 ****s up Holyfield. The reason that he got so outmuscled is that he literally had no footwork in the 90's and was always offbalanced as a result. Holyfield doesn't have the firepower to keep Tyson off nor the defense.

    i give 96 holyfield more of a chance againts a peak tyson than early 90s holy, he was less likely to get drawn into slugging it out. tyson kos early 90s holy mid late rounds after getting drawn into a shootout. 96 holy loses on points in an ugly fight. but still it could go the other way for holy. tyson had stamina before prison so he doesnt wear him out like in 96.

    Imagine Bert Cooper was an even more faded version of Tyson:

    I think 96 Holyfield vs 88 Tyson is a toss up..
    But i think 90-94 Holyfield beats any version of Tyson in a competetive fight..

    Well i agree, BUT not the really **** 1994 version of Evander who had left-ventricle HEART-FAILURE And a ****ed shoulder-rotator-cuff VS Mikey Moorer. Holyfeild looked ill And slow as **** in that fight. BUT i still had him scrapping teh Decision on my card by a point. :thumbsup

    Yeah this was supposed to be an easy fight for Holyfield but a slower, less technical and less powerful version of PRIME Tyson gave Holyfield tons of trouble.
