    Tyson would have won in an epic fight but could see holy field win the return as Tyson was slowly burning out.

    It is a shame Tyson had to pull out of the second fight but I'd always pick Holyfield then. Regardless of weight Holyfield was always dogged with being "a blown up cruiser" while he and Tyson basically weighed the same? Combination punching, handspeed and a mentality and will that I think would have carried Holyfield to a win be it in 90, 91, 96 or 97.

    Holyfield did weigh substantially less before 1991, he only bulked up after the first Bowe defeat. Tyson would have had a good advantage weight wise but heart, conditioning and determination would be with Holyfield.
