Who ever said it is perfect? Fighting is a game when you are trying to outsmart your opponent. Peekaboo is a very good counter system against classical orthodox boxers and sluggers, etc. Would be cool to see peekaboo vs a good heavy weight with James Toney's / Mayweather / Ezzard Charles / George Benton kinda skills, but there have been none.
I'm too tired to find the post or thread, but it was a counter to saying that Tyson's knowledge was good or I think it was stated great, but IMO it wasn't his greatest factor: IMO it was the FEAR factor that made Tyson such a formidable foe. Against big mofos at that.
I used the analogy of Evander fight # I who timed the shit outta Tyson's head movement to further validate that Tyson's (numbers) system in some ways had more flaws then we could see at the time" Buster & evander proved it. Stand up to Tyson (no fear) and watch Tyson's demeanor shrivel up like a dick in a cold swimming pool.
Like I said, this fight was a tricky thingy, Holyfield was lead by the Spirit of God.
When the Creator fights your battles, peekaboo ain't gonna help. Also, MT was a self-righteous muslim at that time. He was DOOMED to fail. It has nothing to do with peekaboo.
However, when Holyfield was in a cocky self-righteous state, fighting as a orthodox boxers, there is no way he could beat prime MT from 1986-1988. Amen!
This is the ULTIMATE UNDISPUTED TRUTH, please, do not bother answering this comments, just accept as good son accepts the will of the FATHER.
LOL Talk about taking the piss NV 
Anyway on a serious note, Mike lost to "roid-field"
Any version of Holyfield prior to 215 Holy (Bowe 2) gets beaten soundly by Mike. Mike could beat the Holyfield from Bowe 1 as well.
I don't KNOW if the 80's Mike could have beaten "Roid-field". But I always rate Evander h2h, prime4prime the notch above based on evidence, speculation excluded.
