    But you still get people making threads about how Tyson would beat a prime Holyfield!

    Nonito Donaire was 7 years on the slide when he took on the p4p best boxer in his absolute prime and gave a great showing in a losing effort.

    Pity Jeff wasn't a goalkeeper. Nothing would get past him.

    Yeah defence wasn't his strong point to put it mildly. Lucky he had a head made out of rock

    Tyson was 30 when he fought Holyfield the first time.Both boxers were past their primes in 1996.

    Tyson was still in his prime physically as a fighter and was looking more ferocious than ever, Holy was looked at as past prime going into that fight.

    Yeah Ali was rather static and an easier target at 32 compared to his younger self
