I gotta disagree with you on this. Tyson didn't lose to Holyfield because he got tired. He lost because he got hit with every punch in the book for 10+ rounds. He wasn't tired at the end, he was beaten up and battered. Tyson landed some big shots in the 1st round and was always dangerous, but Holyfield assumed tactical command of the fight in Round 2 and never let go of it.
Holyfield would beat Tyson in 1992, 1997, 2007, 2027.......
i disagree and agree with the guy above. Tyson was on the score cards winning the fight untill the 6th round when holy started to take over and did hit him with everything but be honest he never really hurt tyson untill the 10th and when you say beat up? look at tyson's face at the end other than a tiny cut his face was'nt beat up at all if he had took everypunch in the book his face would of been swolllen, none of that really. Any one with any boxing knowledge, and i aint saying you aint got none but they would know Tyson's conditioning was a huge factor. Tyson was Tired to the point where he was outgunned. His tiredness was more a factor than holyfield throwing everypunch in the book. 10+ rounds of a beating you obviously watched a different fight it was close up to end of round 6 - 7 . the Mike Tyson of 1996 took Holyfield 11 rounds so the Tyson of 92 would of at the very least of gone the extra round and took it to a decision win or lose he was far far fitter and the 2 ruddock fights, more the 2nd are an example of his heart and stamina back then.
