    Who wins? I personally believe it would be the same for any fight Mike has lost. If Mike doesn't take you out in the first half of the fight, 9/10 times it'll be a victory for you.

    the form with Seldon is a complete unknown but according to Mike himself and several reports we can assume that he was in better shape than with Holyfield 1. From what Mike said after an easy fight with Seldon he felt very confident. I also think that he would treat Moorer seriously so he would not expect a short fight. Based on this I think that he would knock Michael out sooner or later because Michael's style would not be a problem for him but would suit him very well. Moorer seems to be tailored for Tyson just like Michael Spinks.
    I think that in 1996 Tyson was not generally better than Moorer but in a direct fight people would think that there is a difference in class between them, like between him and Bruno.

    He'd come out swinging against Moorer and the first time that he swings back at Tyson, then he'd be Hurt.
    I actually see Tyson KO 1 .
