You could be right, I don't rightly know who to pick in that one. But I think it would be a hell of a lot better than their eventual 1996 showdown,.
For sure!

Even though back in 90 or 91 his skills had declined, his fights with Rudduck proved he still had a fighters attitude and stamina and was active and getting rounds in.

Compare that to someone who hadn't trained for 4 years and had just 16 and a half minutes of action in prep.

People slate Tysons win over Holmes but Holmes was only out 18 months before he started training for for Tyson!
