    When they did fight, it was a 6-5 pick'em. Lots of folks like both guy's chances. Me, I was all in on Commander Vander. And I would have been at anytime. Buster is not stopping Evander & that discipline & conditioning is going to show itself.

    To me, Douglas was another typical 80's heavy...just try getting him to string together 2 wins impressively in a row against top notch competition. It doesn't happen. Actually when you think about it, how often did those guy's look terrific fighting 1 good opponent and another guy without a pulse even?

    With that in mind, I never ever bought into Buster stringing together wins against top competiton. The spotty guys just never do. they win once.

    If you fix a fight you don't do it through the fighter if you wanna get away with it. And Mike would never throw a fight.

    The Tokyo Douglas is simply to powerful for Holyfield and wins by KO unless of course he trips over his Tokyo red superman cape


    Honestly Holyfield still stops him around the 7th or 8th
