That version of Evander Holyfield would STILL have trouble with Wladimir and Vitali. Their size and strength alone would give ANY fighters trouble. But had THAT Evander Holyfield fought Nicolay Valuev he would have stopped him earlier or at least won on the cards by a very large amount.
Couldn't of beat Tommy Morrison or Shannon Briggs are you kidding me ? Shannon Briggs got a gift decision against a 47 year old George Foreman. And was stopped in embarrassing fashion by Darroll Wilson in 3 rounds.

And Tommy Morrisn had such a weak chin im sure Mike Tyson would of found it, sooner or later. Lets remember Tommy Morrison was dropped like a sack 3 times against Michael Bentt, dropped 2 times against Carl Williams. Brutally stopped by Ray Mercer, and all these fighters have something in common there not exactly big punchers.

And lastly Mike Tyson was still a good fighter at this point, not as good as the 80's version obviously. But he will would of beaten most of the top Heavyweights of the 90s except Bowe, Lewis, and of course Holyfield.
