    Mike was done after prison. Holy could've sparred Mermit the Frog and he still would've beaten a post prison Tyson.

    Holy could have also beaten a pre-prison Tyson. Going back to the Catskill days according to Teddy Atlas, Holy was never intimidated by Tyson.

    But on the other hand, that would have taken away Holyfield's best weapon...the head butt. No excusing
    Tyson's ear biting but he was really frustrated by the headbutts.

    It still was a different Tyson. And I dont think that Holy beats mike. And I don't ever listen to Teddy.

    Prime Tyson and Holyfield is nothing how it panned out in 96....Tysons there at the end with his hand raised after a really tough fight. Two exceptional chins taking hard punches until the finish. Got Holy or Tyson on points the more I think about it...Tyson was a very good boxer that could settle down if he didn't blast them out.
