I don't think he did Tyson didn't have his headmovement proper stuff for swelling eye ect but i still think even prime Tyson could of lost to that Douglas because of Douglas height and the great jab he threw and it was a great jab.

Yeah, Tyson. Tyson actually beat Douglas that night. But Douglas was given about 13 seconds to get up. Without that he would of lost.

WHY would i be all 3 are bums! bowe was just a big body..holmes was pretty descent early. and holyfield has been a punching bag his life. none of the are should even be mentioned when you talk about great heavyweights!

This is dumbest comment i've ever heard Holmes is top 5 hw of all time and would make Douglas's jab look stupid Bowe was one of the most talented hws ever and Holyfield was great boxer with great handspeed who beat the stuffing out of Douglas in 3 rounds jeez where do these clowns pop up from thats one of the most ridiculous comments i've ever heard Douglas basically beat a Tyson who was a punchbag and didn't train and his corner didn't even have proper stuff for swelling Douglas could have give Tyson a tough fight even in his prime but Douglas was far from perfect that night he was almost koed it was actually like 13 seconds what VD said but Douglas did get up at 9 and a half but my god it was a very slow 9 count i can tell you that now.

"Holmes is top 5 hw of all time" thats insane !! ....Bowe was one of the most talented hws ever.i guess that makes andrew golota an all time great since he wore his ass out twice!!
"holyfield was great boxer with great handspeed who beat the stuffing out of Douglas "..did i not say that night..the same claims you make for tyson is the same for douglas buster was not in shape in the holyfield fight!

Are you that stupid ?? in any experts list well in most Holmes is considered top 5 hw of all time the guy made 20 defences i would love to see your top 5 hws of all time then if you don't consider Holmes top 5.

And you are being hypocrite now Bowe was not in shape against Golota plus he had damage to his brain in second fight.

I never said Douglas was in shape for Holyfield but he still beat him in 3 and prime for prime Holyfield still would of stopped him round about 9 rounds.

1 Muhammad Ali
2 Joe Louis
3 Jack Johnson
4 Rocky Marciano
5 Larry Holmes

the 3 fighters were very good in there ERA ...but in the history of boxing....no i would not mention the name with the greats ..thats STUPID!

Ice, you know I agree with you on a lot of things. But I gotta tell you, we're on opposite sides on this one. Gotta agree with the man...... the Douglas that fought Tyson that night was downright impressive. I've always felt that fans generally have a tendency to downplay the achievement of someone who upsets their fighter, such as: "Oh well, Tyson wasn't himself that night." But I'll be damned if I don't agree with the poster. Douglas was awesome that night. No two ways about it. He bullied Tyson around the ring, used his size, his reach, threw combinations, the works. Tyson gave it his all. Did he have the wicked head movement from the late 80's? Maybe not at 100%. But he was no slouch in there. You gotta give Douglas the credit he deserves.

As to who he could've beaten, I gotta tell you.... I'm not a big Holmes fan either. I know you feel he's top 5 all-time, but I just don't feel that way. I gotta admit, I don't like Holmes the man, 'cause I think he's racist. So maybe that colors (no pun intended) my opinion a little bit. But I think Holmes got the benefit of fighting some good fighters, but a lot of mediocre fighters as well. Yes, he had a great jab. But he was no Ali... something that ate at him throughout his career. Geez, I've never seen such a sour and bitter man.

Anyway, that's my two cents worth.
