Some people believe that and buy into that Atlas intimidation bull****. I'm not one of them. I watched Tyson since his very early days. Long before the rest of the division was supposedly "intimidated" by this little young 5'11 (in boots) heavyweight. He still blasted guys out and knocked them all around the ring. He got that aura of intimidation because he was viciously blasting guys out, not the other way around. The biggest reasons why he was special were his speed, technique, and discipline. The 3 things that eroded the most after Cus died and his years in prison. I agree that Holyfield was never intimidated by Mike. And I believe Evander would have been a tough fight for awhile against any version. But I still believe a prime Tyson eventually knocks him out cold.
Nah, i think even a prime Tyson at best will UD Holyfield. Holyfield will not get knocked out, he has one of the best chins in history and a legendary fighting heart and toughness.
