mike tyson prime's version appears in the 3 round of the second fight when he comes forward and connects his best shots to evander something like that would have been a fight between evander vs tyson from 86
I believe in that his real, very brief prime book-ended by Berbick and Spinks, Michael Gerard Tyson would have destroyed any living human being put in front of him. Smith and Tucker notwithstanding, since they were fighting mostly to survive rather than win.
No Holyfield had Tysons number and that's all there is to it, Tyson was a highlight reel and entertaining as hell but he was a mental midget, on top fighter and fought in spurts even in his prime. Any fighter with stamina, chin, heart and inside fighting had a good shot vs Tyson, if you could get through his spurts then put it on him and keep it on him when he wanted to rest you had a very good shot at beating him. Loads from 90s foreman to Tua to plenty more would have given Tyson hell In a way he's lucky cus died because if he hadn't the mythical "prime Tyson" would have got broken down with cus in the corner and Tyson fan boys wouldn't be able to cling to this idiotic notion that cus was the only guy in the world who could train Tyson.
Prime Holyfield will use head-butt against Prime Tyson until the latter gets a bad cut. Then Tyson will find some parts of Holyfield's head to bite such as ears to make a revenge.
Lmao Tyson Fury pushes his **** in Tyson jacked in several fights, he straight up QUIT multiple times Stop idolizing this man.
Tyson with Rooney and D'Amato in his corner was a much different fighter. I believe he didn't even reach his prime. He trained 5 years and became champ. Then it was all downhill from there. Most fighters keep improving up until they're 25 at least. Look at Canelo, Pac, Crawford, Tank etc. Tyson started boxing late at 14/15 and was champ by 20, he had a very short time to train boxing.
of course Holyfield would be in danger. however, that is what boxing entails. all things being equal..meaning...going back to prime...also means the same for Tyson. let them fight ten times...each will win a certain number of the fights. one thing that Holyfield had going for him that many other opponents of Tyson did not have. He was not intimidated by Mike...not ever. I think Holyfield would win six out of the ten fights. imo.
I think it´s fair to say that he wasn´t at his best back then. Just look at the life he was living. Not that Holyfield himself was either. 1991 Tyson? I think he would have had a fairly good shot at beating any version of Holyfield. However, I think Sonny Liston would have been an absolute nightmare for Mike.
Fury destroys Mike Tyson by doing what ? Brawling with him ? LOL. The Fury overrating has gone on for too long when his resume is equivalent to Riddick Bowe's. if Fury beats him it's because he'll be using his height and reach and clinching like he did against Chisora but Tyson wont get hit by a weak slap jab every second like that plodder Chisora did
