I don't know mate, some fighter just have your number, and i think Evander had what it takes to beat the post Douglas Tyson ! Tyson lost his greatest asset in Kevin Rooney . Tyson had no discipline in 91, . Evander was the opposite, he had heart and determination factor and has love for the game and loved to be in the gym . Holyfield's goal all along , was to fight Tyson . Evander had been preparing himself for that show a long long time.
The only Tyson that beat Evander IMO , is the Cuz Da / Kevin Rooney Tyson, very small window maybe 2 -3 years where I think Tyson would have beat anyone, in any time period. ! 1986-1988 thats it ! activity was the key to Tyson's success, under Rooney Tyson fought about every 3 months. once Rooney was fired Mike fought about once , maybe twice a year and thus went to shit rather fast ! ;)
Re: The biggest fight let downs in history
Holyfield was a very small (weight-wise) heavyweight back then though.
Would he have been ready?

agreed with everything u say!but if tyson holy fought in 91 i dont think holy would ko tyson,he was still hungry to get the title back .look at the shots he took from rudduck and he didnt even budge....but like u say the tyson from 85-88 would of had no problems with rudduck or holyfeild!peace

I think so. Mike never had been challenged physically except by Douglas. other then that Mike never had someone fire right back. Tyson was weak mentally , confidence wise. he needed reassurance all the time, he was like a small child mentally. Someone like Evander who would fight right back and had hand speed and high determination factor would beat Tyson 9 out of 10 times. . now if Rooney was in Tyson's corner I would favor Tyson.
Re: The biggest fight let downs in history
right now my take on this holyfield would fire back at tyson holyfield took bowes punches and come back at him he would take tysons punches holyfield had great footwork see 2nd bowe fight decent power and nice combos and of course granite chin no way tyson would ko holyfield i favour holyfield and prime holmes would pump that jab in tysons face all night and dance rings round him same with ali

yeah ice i will say this.tyson would go through states of passivness and lose his agression occasionally almost like he was bored with the fight eg:tillis,don halpin,and a few others i cant think of right now but with tucker,man tucker was one of the best of the 80's and imo better than lewis,at the time tucker was 35-0 unbeaten IBF champion and fought like a champion but tyson still dominated ;D
