    So in 89 after a few tune up fights? Well that is technically still the 80's, ha ha...I would love to see a more disciplined/undefeated Tyson take on Holyfield but I feel like by 89' Holyfield probably would of beat him like Douglas did since Tyson was way too busy partying it up by that time. It's a real interesting thought to think what if Evander went straight into the HW division in the 80's instead of Cruiserweight. Holyfield most likely would of faced Tyson and probably when Tyson was at his best or close to it.

    Shavers versus Sulamain
    Foreman versus Sulamain
    Duran versus Sulamain
    Tyson versus Sulamain
    Hagler versus Sulamain

    Extremely difficult for me to limit the list to just five out of the hundreds of possibilities, so I went with the first five which popped into my head.
