    I don't understand why that is considered controversial TBH. I think it's pretty easy to justify. Holyfield never came close to Tyson's dominance.

    Foreman is clueless when it comes to these things.

    All respect, why not surprised over Holmes? Because of their rivalry?

    Well, gee, a well past prime Holy beat the crap out of past prime Tyson twice and won the title four times. Who did Tyson beat that was as good as prime Riddick Bowe? Certainly not grandpa Larry.

    Tyson was far better than anyone in Sullivan`s era.

    Tyson was awesome against Holmes nobody could have out-classed and destroyed Larry like that even at that age, Mike was a brilliant counter/pressure fighter.

    Gee I wonder why RockyJim posted this (hint: Definitely has nothing to do with Foreman's number 2)

    Not a Holmes who hadn't fought in over 16 months. And let's face it, does anyone believe the Holmes who fought from Witherspoon on was anywhere near the Holmes who knocked the living dog poop out of Leon Spinks? That means he was five years (count 'em) past his prime. Big deal.

    No disrespect, Mark. Even Mike admitted he couldn't have beat prime Holmes.

    You mean Holmes who four years later came back in his 40s and schooled Mercer, and went the distance with Holyfield?

    When did Tyson say that?

    Tyson was clearly more past it than Holyfield, for their fight. Holyfield never had a run half as good as Tyson's. B
    The fact the living steroid lab lost to Bowe twice kinda detracts from his win
