A 38 year old Holmes was frustrating prime Tyson until he got KFTO

Holmes is an anomaly like Hopkins, age factor were not applicable to them..while i agree that he's removed from his peak by the time he fought Tyson, he was still good enough to beat the likes of Mercer and the top contenders and hold his own against Holyfield. A prime Holmes maybe more elusive and more busy against Tyson but I have no doubt he will get KOd in the end. Remember that we are talking about a Prime Tyson then.
