The tyson fight was the best version of Holyfield. He was better when he was younger. He thought the was the best heavyweight long before the Tyson fight. The win over Tyson gave Holyfield more credibility in a lot of people's minds. However, he was past his best by then; though obviously it was a great effort.

Good catch. I think I listed Holyfield's years twice. Tyson's prme was from about 1987-1991.
