Peak Holmes, Foreman, Ali and Tyson beats all of the 90s heavyweights

Tyson only lost once, he was DQd the second time.
And he was nowhere near as good as he was in the 80s, he was just a head hunter.
Prime vs prime, Tyson whoops him.

 

No they don't, stop talking crap.
Foreman and Ali get their arse beat by all the top guys in the 90s.
Holmes beats Holyfield and Bowe, but loses to Lewis and Tyson.
Tyson beats them all.

 

Oh I didn't know getting disqualified is a win.

 

A dq is a loss and he was losing. I won money on holyfield in the first fight. He beats Tyson, prime for prime.

 

It's not a win, but it's not a loss either.

 

No it ain't.

Had the fight kept going without him biting Holyfield, Tyson might very well have lost, but since it didn't continue, it wasn't a loss.

No he doesn't.

 

Exactly. Mike Tyson in the 80s was one of the greatest fighters who ever lived, he was truly a Marvel to behold, perfect fighting machine. But he not only lost to Holyfield the first time, he opted out of the second fight because it was basically going the same way (something he's admitted in interviews).

We can't softpedal his losses, nor his amazing domination of the late 80s.

Holmes had a very good chance of beating the best of the 90s heavies (and as far as him beating the best of his era, his peak was from 78 to 82 and Weaver, Berbick, Spinks, Norton, and Cooney were all either once or future champs or #1 contenders...he also fought one hell of a lot more than today's "champs"). Ali and Foreman had an excellent chance to beat them all as well imo.

The top 90s heavies I see Mike beating in his 80s incarnation would be Lewis (pre-Steward), and quite possibly Foreman, less likely peak Holyfield...maybe Bowe since Bowe got hit so much.

I could definitely see pre-Steward Lewis getting caught and stopped, but I don't think Mike on his best day could have beat the latter era Lennox.
