I’m positive Holyfield would’ve beaten Tyson in 91

    Ali gets KOd, he is tailor made for Tyson to beat up.
    Styles make fights. Tyson is a far superior version of Frazier, who beat up Ali.

    Although I’ve disagreed with everything you’ve said on this thread so far , I agree that Tyson’s style would be a nightmare for Ali. But in terms of all time greatness Ali ranks much higher

    Tremendous wins, nobody did to those ATG's what Tyson did to them. But I'd add that those were Tyson's best "name opponent" wins. You can pick those KO's or his wins over Ferguson, Frazier, Berbick, Thomas, Tucker, Biggs, Tubbs or even Ruddock and you couldn't give a wrong answer.

    Next you'll be saying "But Tyson never got off the floor to win, or he couldn't KO anyone after 5 rounds, or he never won a rematch, or he lost to every great fighter he fought, or he got KO'd 5 times so his chin was garbage, or prison didn't stunt his abilities, or Rooney didn't train another world champion, or Tyson had to be in his prime against Douglas because he was 22 years old"...

    I agree with most of this but why have his manager avoid Holyfield at any stage of his career? You don't think a prime Tyson firing on all cylinders and good boxing men in his corner would beat Holyfield? Eddie Futch said Holyfield has a style to beat Tyson but also admitted he said that after Tyson's decline was evident.

    Why are you comparing power punchers with how hard they hit? Top shelf power is top shelf power. Did Shavers punch a hole through someone's face like a comic book character? It's almost like saying Hulk Hogan had bigger muscles than Randy Savage, so you like him better. It's irrelevant in the grand scheme of boxing things.

    You aren’t giving any good arguments, I don’t blame you though cause it’s hard to defend Tyson when you discuss him with real atg’s

    What points are you proving? If you're so sure of yourself, maybe name one?

    Compared to the self proclaimed "Tyson lover", my arguments **** all over yours homie. You argue like a 12 year old after watching WrestleMania for the first time. And change your name while you're at it!

    My points are that Holyfield would beat any version of Tyson and that he’s much more accomplished than him. If you want to read my arguments go through the thread or make it easier on yourself and read some of my replies to your post, I’m not gonna repeat stuff I’ve already stated because you don’t wanna read

    Have you ever used the search engine? Because your threads have been debated to death. Maybe post something more original next time.

    Your points aren't proven for ****. They're just opinions that are neither proven nor thoughtful. Can I ask how old you are?

    You keep saying I’m not a Tyson fan but believe me I am, he got me interested in boxing and I’ve seen every one of his fights, I also used to have posters of him when I was a kid, just cause I’m a fan doesn’t mean I have to make up lies about him
