what if tyson would got past buster douglas then fought holyfield

[ICB]

any 'good' version of tyson would of knocked a prime holyfeild out. im srry but if peopl like bert cooper can make him lose his feet then a good version of tyson could.

prime tyson - ko 7
preprison but defeated tyson - ko 12
after prison tyson - we all saw what happened there.

tyson nearly put holy down in round 5, if he was prime he could have fought that roun 5 every round 10 times better

he didnt almost put holyfield down and holyfield was past his prime aswell thats what people seem to forget i praised tyson in this thread when i dont like him he was great fighter it depends really would holyfield fight smart or would he be silly and get lured into brawl which would be dangerous because tyson even in 1991 was still very good them body shots he landed on ruddock if he would of landed them on me i wouldnt have stomach left :P but like i say its pick em if holyfield fights smart he can win this if he gets lured into brawl like he did vs bowe 1 or with bert cooper i say tyson wins so its pick em

Holyfield could take better shots as he got older yes he stopped Tyson tko 11 in 1996 but he got away with alot of holding and spoiling had he stood toe to toe he would have been stopped but Holyfield could'nt have been that far past it he then beat Tyson dsq 3 in the famous ear biting fight then added the IBF to his WBA title by stopping Michael Moorer in 8.Then he had 2 good fights against Lennox in which some think he won the second one then had wins over Ruiz and Rahman

I like it, tysonbruno! 3 years spent in jail and away from active boxing would indicate being more past it IMO. And it took Holyfield 11 rounds to break down a Tyson who to be honest hadnt faced anybody in his comeback.

Erase 5 years and Tyson goes the distance and does a lot more against Holyfield

holyfield had heart problems and had looked garbage in fights with bowe 3rd one and moorer

tyson knocked out bruno in 3 rounds quicker than he did back in 1989 and bruno was having pretty good run tyson was knocking out everybody thats why no one thought holyfield had chance because he had looked garbage holyfield was older than tyson and im being fair here i am saying tyson was past it but so was holyfield

Bruno was having a good run when only good run he could have had is if he ran out of the ring from Tyson Tyson stopped Bruno in 3 because he were scared stiff and so were Seldon that were'nt enough for Tyson to be ready for Holyfield not after the prison sentance

On the money again!

Tyson is my subject but im firing on all 4 now im not insulting Hatton

no matter which way you look at it no one gave holyfield a chance because tyson looked damn impressive knocking everybody out and tyson didnt look that bad in holyfield fight just i dont think tyson expected holyfield to be that good and it shocked him then in later rounds he got broken up

That was then and this is now, and yet Holyfield maintained a very succesful career. Hindsight is always a very beneficial tool...

only thing after tyson fight was when he fought lewis he didnt really look that impressive but he gave lewis all he could handle in rematch after that he didnt do anything really holyfield looked his age in lewis fights even though he went full 12
