What if Douglas didn't get up in round 8 and Tyson fought Holyfield in 1990

    Same result. Holy had Tyson's number.

    Spot on. Early Tyson would beat any version of Holyfield. Once Rooney left Tyson was never the same skill wise.

    Tyson has to KO Holyfield before the 7th round, otherwise Evander wins an easy decision.

    However if the 1990 fight had gone ahead, I think the result would have been much the same as the 1996 result.

    Holyfield was better in 1990 than he was in 1996.
