    You see here we ****ing go again with the special rules for Mike Tyson,

    "All this prime talk"

    I am about to get TysonTalk on all your mother ****ers.

    Evander Holyfeild was not in his prime against Mike Tyson, but he still owned and beat Mike Tyson. In the ring, on the street anywhere, any time Evander Holyfeild beats Mike Tyson.

    "No question"

    "Evander Holyfield was older than Mike Tyson"

    "Fact is Mike Tyson was crying after the 2nd Holyfield fight, Evander Holyfeild got bit more than once in that fight, the second occasion. Evander Holyfield jumped up and down and carried on fighting"

    The fight was stopped in between rounds.

    Mike Tyson tried to break Evander Holyfeild's arm...Evander Holyfieild threw him against the ropes.

    Mike Tyson tried to butt Evander Holyfeild....Mike Tyson came off second best.

    Evander Holyfeild was never seriously hurt by any of Mike Tyson punches, never. It didn't happen, maybe some delusion Tyson Fans would make it up.

    "Watch the tapes, Mike Tyson hit the pound for pound hardest object in boxing, his name is Evander Holyfeild"

    On the Street, In the Ring, In Heaven!

    Evander Holyfeild beats Mike Tyson.

    Mr cool- Your hate for Tyson is obvious, Holyfields prime was what like 90-93, Tysons was 86-89 will say. Tyson was in jail for 3 plus years without proper training equipment to train and stay an elite fighter, he lost alot of his timing and speed when came back to the ring, he also relied more on one punch, and not the amazing combinations that made him famous. My point is, Holyfield was closer to his prime, while also staying active against top level oppenents like Bowe and Moorer during Tysons jail term.

    I think both Holyfield and Tyson are legends, its just too bad they werent able to fight in 91 when both of them were either in there primes or close to there primes.

    Holyfield, he made Tyson desperate.

    Evander would win by late TKO, UD or by Tyson getting DQ'd - again.

    I don't hate him, but i hate people making excuses and giving him credit for things he never achieved in the ring. Mike Tyson gets the most excuses made for him and gets credit for fights he never even won.

    "Mate believe match just don't matter, i think they are aload of **** head to heads"

    He didn't beat Evander Holyfeild, it didn't happen. Evander Holyfield beat him twice, on the street in the ring! No question. Great fighters win out of their primes, they do not relie on that lame excuse.
    Fact of the matter is, all we know is that. Mike Tyson came face to face with the hardest object in boxing and was beaten, psychologically, technically on the street and in the ring.

    His name is Evander Holyfeild.

    Tyson. Too fast, too focused, too elusive.

    The differences between 87 Tyson and 96 Tyson are there on tape for all to see. 87 Tyson would beat any version of Holyfield in my opinion....but the fact remains that he never actually did it and those 2 losses to Holyfield look bad on his record.

    This is ******ed. Tyson had one of the best chins of any HW champ. The guys that did stop him had to beat seven shades of **** out of him to do it, with the exception of the last two, where he simply quit.

    Mr.cool- You have your opinion, I have mine. Your right Holyfield did beat Tyson twice and no one can erase that, but you also cant erase the fact that Holyfield lost his fare share of tough fights as well, we will never know what could of been if Tyson/Holyfield would of fought 5 years earlier, but we could only go by the fact that Holyfield beat a less than prime Tyson just a year and a couple months removed from jail when they fought.
