    Holyfield had 15lbs more muscle against Tyson, how about we use Golota as a measuring stick :hey Tyson isn't winning this on strength though, he's winning on brutal accurate punches and skill

    Holyfield didn't manhandle Bowe in any of their fights. And he weighed more in the second Bowe match than he did against Tyson.

    That's a fair assessment.

    :nut:patsch:lol: Tyson-bum-bandit alert!

    Your precious tyson gassed at his peak against Buster Douglas and gassed in his prime against Evander.
    Don't try and tell me Tyson was not primed when he fought Holyfeild - He was 29 years old FFs!

    I'm not a Tyson fan boy at all. I actually don't like him very much.
    "Precious"? What about your precious foreman? Who gassed in his prime against Muhammad Ali?
    Anyone who actually knows Tyson, knows that Tyson was NOT in his prime against Douglas-He didn't train properly, didn't have the headmovement, and he didn't have the speed. He was just looking for the one punch knockout. the same thing goes for the Holyfield bouts. Tyson was really only in his prime from 86-89. He was good in 91' too.

    Foreman only gassed vs Ali cos Angelo Dundee loosened the ropes before teh fight so their looseness would absorb most of Foreman's power as Ali lay on teh ropes. If the ropes were not illegally loose, then Ali would have been KTFO.

    Tyson did train properly for Buster - he was in better shape than he was for Tucker and Berbick. People only said he did not train properly after he lost! He was using head-movement, it just was not good enough to slip Buster's long accurate jab (same thing happened against Lewis 12 years later). He resorted to looking for a KO punch cos Douglas was to skillful to let Tyson use his combos on him often like lesser opponents. Tyson trained hard for holyfield with weight-lifting and he was still out-muscled by teh 7lbs lighter ex-cruiserweight. Holyfield forced tyson to look for a KO punch cos teh combos were not working and to hard to land on Holyfield - who was boxing his head off. Evander was to clever to let teh predictable head-movement fool him and aimed for were he knew tyson would be after each head-movement motion.

    If Tyson was only prime from 1986-1989 like you say, explain him looking way better in 1996 against a 20lbs bigger, stronger and more powerful Bruno than he did in 1989 against a less good bruno?

    tyson by late ko. tyson is the wrong man to trade with. bowe would mane it a tough fight but tyson has quicker hands and tyson has a more proven chin.

    Tough one, i just don't see Bowe being able to put it on Tyson enough as Douglas did, it's an ugly fight & could well go the 12 for a big Tyson U/D.
