    Intriguing match-up. Did Holmes have enough to beat post-prison version of Mike that faced Holyfield?

    Holmes lasted 4 rounds against Tyson in 1988. If he could have lasted 12 rounds against Tyson in 1996, he would have won on points. I can't say who would win here, but I can say that Tyson can't beat Holmes on points.

    Holmes of the Tyson fight, I just don't think he's in the right shape or anything to get a win over Tyson.
    Tyson of Holyfield 1 ,he was still good enough to beat a lot of heavyweight s,I think he's good enough to stop old (ISH) Holmes.
