    Tyson dominated the guy Holmes struggled with Spinks, and Ko'd the guy Holmes refused to fight Pinklon Thomas

    Holmes avoided the best of his era Tyson fought everyone

    cause =the lack of head movement
    effect=10 rounds of being jabbed to death

    During a typical fighters peak, if they mess up training camp, that's their problem.

    If he wanted to move his head, he could have done.

    Tucker fought Tyson with a broken hand, Thomas a bad shoulder and Berbick survived Holmes. Obviously a good jab was effective. . . .

    The thread asks about prme Holmes. Tyson didnt fight prime Holyfield, Foreman, Bowe and avoided Lewis.

    a prime Tyson fought everyone that was a possible top opponent, he would have destroyed Bowe who got hit too much to be hit by Tyson

    Tyson was always wrong for Holmes who avoided lesser right hand punchers than Tyson. I think the Tyson pinnacle was Spinks

    Tyson would beat Holmes no matter when they fought.

    Who did Holmes fight that was comparable to a prime Tyson? Holmes ruled a weak division and didn't even face the best of it.
