Holyfield takes it for me. Tyson at that time with bum trainers like Aaron Snowell, stood up straight, didn't use his jab, hardly went to the body, became a 1 dimensional head hunter and hardly worked out in the gym. A much younger and much less worn down Holyfield stops Tyson even earlier than the '96 fight. This is prime Holyfield we're talking about.
Now if Tyson had Rooney in his corner along with the rest of the D'amato camp that would be a different story, but this version of Tyson was on a downward spiral in the ring and outside of it. I give Tyson no shot of beating Holyfield, considering what we know of Holyfield's chin and will.
