    I don't see a Prime Tyson ever winning a battle of wills with Holy. He simply lacked the mental fortitude to beat someone of Evander's talent and toughness. I think a prime Lewis is too big, had too good of a jab and is too smart to lose either.

    When Cus got Tyson what he wanted was "Floyd Patterson with a Sonny Liston attitude" and that's what he got.....BUT the major downside to the "Sonny Liston attitude" is that when a bully gets bullied in return they don't handle it very well.

    Tyson would of got his ass kicked by Holyfeild anytime in his career he had his number. Tyson had a pretty weak era he ruled over almost as weak as this one so when he faced a elite like Holyfeild i think only outcome was the real deal getting his hand raised.

    Holyfield weighed just over 200lb when he was about to fight Tyson the first time, and would have got beat. Lennox had a vulnerable chin and would have fought defensively and negatively and lost a points decision to a prime Tyson.

    Agreed the Mike Tyson who fought Razor Ruddock still had it, he showed will and skill in the 2nd fight with Razor Ruddock. And would of KO'ed Evander Holyfield at that time, i think people are forgetting that at that time. Evander Holyfield barely survived against Bert Cooper, and was also hurt by Alex Stewart aswell.

    He had a tough time with a drugged up Michael Dokes, but then again he had 0 trouble with Tyson

    Yea he did i forgot about the fight, great fight that was. Anyway i still think round that time Mike Tyson would win. I don't think Evander Holyfield was quite in his peak at Heavyweight yet.
