Does a Prime Holmes beat a prime Tyson?

Just one word. Douglas.

 

Tyson by late rounds stoppage. It would be much tougher than their actual fight.

 

He definitely could. Tyson could beat Larry also it just depends who's better that night

 

Tyson by ko in 7 rounds. Holmes won't see the right hand that comes over his low dropped jab.

 

When will you realize that Douglas and Holmes are not the same fighter.

 

Holmes was the far greater hwt than Douglas.

 

And Tyson is a farvgreater heavyweight than Spinks.

Oh wait he was a lhw

 

What a great fight this would have been. I can't call a winner. Put a gun to my head, and I would have to say Holmes.

 

Larry takes Mike late, from 11th to 13th round.

 

Yes. Because the jab of douglas was the key factor in his win lmao. Not that tyson was **** that night.
Witherspoon actually did beat holmes and he would a won a rematch if larry did not run from him and pinklon Tomás like a *****. So yes .a peak tucker would give him all he could handle

 

It is funny because despite the holmes fans pick him to win and they cant believe that he would win actually.you have ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE BASED ON STYLES, RIVALS ETC FOR EVEN IMAGINE THAT HOLMES COULD WIN IT

 

Holmes would win I think.
He'd move and clinch his way through the speedy early rounds assault, keeping his jab on point, then break Tyson down as the fight progresses.
Holmes was a superb boxer.

 

Holmes had more heart. He was capable of turning the tide with his heart and ring smarts, he had his own Buster Douglas moments against Mike Weaver, but still pulled out to win.

 

Yes.

 

A prime Holmes could have beat a prime Tyson but it would be a tough night for both men. I'm thinking a close but clear decision.
