Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson, November 18 1991

The 91’ matchup is interesting.

Judging by how often Tyson was neglecting his head movement in the Ruddock fights, I would lean towards Holyfield. Part of me thinks Holyfield would always raise his game for Tyson.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if Tyson had won. While Holyfield was faster and fresher in 91’, he was also physically smaller, and more prone to unnecessary brawling. He later said after fighting Tyson that he learned from the Bowe fights how to be more controlled in his aggression, which he was against Mike. I can see this coming back to haunt him against Tyson.
