Holmes was out 18 months before he started training for Tyson.
The reason he took time off again was because he knew while Mike was about he stood no chance what so ever of getting anywhere.
Its no coincidence his comeback started AFTER Mike had lost to Douglas. Holmes looked at the division amd there was no one he feared. He knew he wouldnt have to fight Mike to get a title but he looked at the likes of Mercer, McCall, Foreman and Holyfield and thought to himself "not one of these has the skills that Mike had and ill beat them easy, even if I come in heavier and older than when I fought that amazing Mike Tyson"
