    Worth mentioning Tyson was the 2-1 favorite in the Tyson rematch despite being beaten handily in the first fight. It seems a lot of people thought the result a bit of an anomaly, even then. So a lot of people still wouldn't be convinced Holyfield was the better man, even at that point in time. Without the rematch Holyfield would have lost some luster due to this surprising belief, and Tyson would have lost less than he did.

    Definitely,Fergy. Roberto would have forever dined out on "I would have beaten Ray even easier if we'd fought again"
