I believe holyfield.. but it's boxing + it's heavyweight so it could've gone either way.. tough to call!
Tyson. Too fast, too confident, too much defense, offensive ability just too much for Holyfield to handle.
Don't you know? No "prime" Tyson can lose in his fans minds, because anytime Tyson looked anything less than perfect he was out of his "prime", its the most absurd circular logic I have ever heard.
Exactly. For example, the idea that Tyson wasn't in his "prime" when he lost to Douglas, at age 23 atsch is one of the more ludicrous statements regarding a fighter that is made by some boxing fans! Anyway, Holyfield beats Tyson whenever and whereever they meet. Even a "prime" Tyson never faced someone as good - and most importantly, as fearless - as Holyfield. The record shows that when a fighter stood up to Tyson, and wasn't afraid, Tyson lost.:yep
He certainly was in his physical prime but even Douglas voiced himself that he thought he wouldnt even make it out of the 1st 2 rounds. He was a massive long shot to win. At that time its common knowledge that Mike Tyson`s psyche was miles away from any boxing ring. If you talking about a peak prime Tyson that was on his game and apply the same to Holyfield i dont see how you can say so blithly that Holy wins "whenever and where ever." The bottom line is without even conducting a consensus its fair to say that most would assume Tyson was more talented than Holy. On that meer fact alone surely Mike -being more talented- is in with a better shout than your assertion..
