yeah i think the out come would have been different had the fight taken place in 1991,even though tyson wasnt at his best he was a damn site better than the tyson of 1996!peace
I don't know mate, some fighter just have your number, and i think Evander had what it takes to beat the post Douglas Tyson ! Tyson lost his greatest asset in Kevin Rooney . Tyson had no discipline in 91, . Evander was the opposite, he had heart and determination factor and has love for the game and loved to be in the gym . Holyfield's goal all along , was to fight Tyson . Evander had been preparing himself for that show a long long time.

The only Tyson that beat Evander IMO , is the Cuz Da / Kevin Rooney Tyson, very small window maybe 2 -3 years where I think Tyson would have beat anyone, in any time period. ! 1986-1988 thats it ! activity was the key to Tyson's success, under Rooney Tyson fought about every 3 months. once Rooney was fired Mike fought about once , maybe twice a year and thus went to S*** rather fast !
I agree. I did fancy holyfield to beat tyson if the fight had of come off. the let down was that after months of looking forward to it and caesars palace being booked for that date and also having seen holyfield beat foreman and tyson beating ruddock. for people in the UK they also may remember BBC winning the TV rights to show it. Now thats old!!
