PRIME Tyson vs PRIME Holyfield...Who wins this and Why ?

Tyson in the lead! :good

Not many heavies could have ****ed with Prime Iron Mike. Ali, Lennox IMO. Bowe? Nah.

 

Holyfield is one of the most exciting fighters in history for a completely different reason than Tyson. He couldn't really dominate anybody but was game for everybody and so took part in a good number of wars.

That piece of info breaks my heart -- It's haunting that the 1991 fight didn't happen.

 

I'm a Holyfield fan too. Dude was left for dead after the Czyz fight. I remember wanting Holy to give a good 5 rounds against Tyson and at least make it exciting. Ron Borges bro, Ron Borges.

 

Holyfield had several primes.


He is one of these rare boxers that had 3-4 primes throughout his career.
Probably because of the super Peds.

He had 1st Prime.. 2nd Prime. Then Super Saiyan Prime

His Super Saiyan Prime was when he fought Tyson twice.

Mid to Late 90's. Evander was surreal. You guys thinking Evander's true prime was in his early 30's or late 20's are morons. Evander's Best years

was mid 90's to the end of the 90's. During that stretch

mid 90's to late 90's Oh I say the end of 1999? That was Evander's TRUE PRIME.

The 97-99 Version of Evander will beat 99% of every ATG in the history of boxing.

Anybody that can beat the 97-99 Version of Evander must be a true Top 3 ATG.

Because he was unreal.


Prime for Prime Tyson still will beat Evander though. But no shame in a semi shot Tyson losing to the 97-99 version of Evander and his Ped Filled Blood.


Once again I say this.

I AM VERY VERY IMPRESSED BY THE 97-99 VERSION OF HOLYFIELD


ANYBODY that can school the 97-99 version of Holyfield is a true legit top 3 ATG. NO debate.

 

Vaughn Bean came close.

 

I think it's actually somewhat impossible to watch Holyfield-Bowe I and not have a tremendous amount of admiration for the guy's heart, chin and will. CLASSIC FIGHT.

Qawi I - Classic
Cooper - Classic
Dokes - Classic
Bowe II - Classic
Foreman - Great little scrap
Tyson I - Fight of the Year
Tyson II - Outrageous

 

There's no doubt we were robbed of one of the great Heavyweight wars.

I was absolutely gutted at the time.

 

More impressed with Bowe then Holyfield tbh.

It's in Evander's blood to go 100% all out and be dedicated and train hard

and take his Peds.

For a lazy **** like Bowe, this was the one time he lived up to potential and he boxed beautifully. It was unreal.

The Lewis of Ruddock vs The Bowe of Holyfield is probably big trouble for Lewis.


I would have wanted to see Prime Tyson vs Prime Bowe in a battle of
the shortest primes ever.


Tyson will probably Ko Bowe though, wrong style for Tyson

 

Yep he was a great fighter, one of the toughest men I've seen in a ring.

& he really believed he'd beat Tyson.......but he wouldn't.

 

I will only pick 3 fighters to beat Prime Tyson and all those will still be

toss ups.


Prime Ali
70's George Foreman
Prime Lewis.

 

Prime Ali I agree with, the other 2, no.

 

Holyfield-Dokes was the best heavyweight brawl of the 80's. Probably my favorite heavyweight fight. 10 rounds of lethal exchanges, elbows, low blows, headbutts, bloodshed, bombs, etc.

 

I don't even think Ali would do it.

 

It's not a certainty no, styles & all that.
