    Could heart-failure Commander be enough to beat the Tyson that got along japanese hookers in his training camp or nah? Who wins between the two worst versions of each other?

    I think it would be Holyfield,he still competed pretty well vs Moorer in their first fight,but Mike? He looked like he trained from some cheap ahh boxing clubs.

    Holyfield didn't look great against Moorer, I think Tyson could have gotten him beat Here.

    Tyson wasn't bad against Douglas, Douglas was great against a decent but unmotivated Tyson. Holyfield was close to dying in those fights. I think Tyson would win as he still had some explosive moments vs. Douglas.

    To put Tyson away that night in Tokyo, Douglas had to land everything but the kitchen sink. I'm not sure that depleted version of Holyfield would land as much to wear Tyson down enough to finish him like that.

    I think it goes the distance with a fair amount of hugfest. When Evander had those dips I see Tyson landing but not having enough to get Holyfield out, but he'd be scoring. Vice versa but I think Holyfield dips could be worse.

    I think Tyson out lasts Evander in a close ish points win. I also factor in that Tyson was unbeaten in his mind, so would still have a bit of determination, he did against Buster but was so outmatched he couldn't get into the fight, but was still trying to land throughout.
