Who you got when they were originally supoost to fight I think its much closer then in 1996

Depends on what version of Tyson shows up. If he took it serious then I think Tyson wins, if he prepared like he did against Douglas then Holyfield wins.

I'd take Evander. He had Tysons number.

The same thing would have happened.

Tyson would have had his moments, but Holyfield was all wrong for him: too tough, too skilled & too determined for Tyson, especially the Tyson of '91 who was a single shot slugger who didn't move his head anymore.

Before the Buster Douglas fight, I picked the great Mike Tyson. After Douglas, I picked The Real Deal when they were supposed to fight the first time in November 1991. That was the real true fight then.

Correct

Holyfield has the perfect style to beat Tyson. I was picking Evander before the Douglas fight and I won't be changing my mind.

I think it would of been more competitive after jail tysom wasnt the same he lifted weights in jail and after he left before prison he was still alot like his former self I dont know who would of won but I think it would of been more competitive and plus holyfield didnt have the same amount of experience as he did in 1996

Holyfield would win at ANY time.. MIke's Injured ribs from sparring prevented their first fight.. Tyson getting knocked out by Douglas also postponed their meeting.. Then ducking by Tyson and prison delayed their fight even further.. When Holyfield was knocked out by Riddick Bowe, suddenly Tyson grew more interested and they fought within a year, but 8 years late.. Tyson delayed fighting Lewis for several more years.

I'd of favoured Holyfield.

As previously mentioned I think he just had his number.
