    Easy fight for young Tyson. Shavers wouldn't last three rounds. Shavers vs post prison Tyson would be quite competitive though. I would bet 1986-89 Tyson against any other hw from any other era. Unfortunately his peak lasted only a few years and his career as whole is not among the very best.

    See that's the difference between Shavers and Holmes. Shavers gives respect, talks highly of another competitor. Holmes trashes Tyson and says he would have "spanked that mofo if I was younger".
