Pre jail, post Douglas Tyson beats Holyfield IMO. Yes, he was losing skills and becoming more of a head hunter, but he could still throw hard and in combination. Mentally he wasnt so diminished as the performances against Ruddock show. Tyson would have won a hard fought decision. Tyson was working his way back to the top prior to jail.

Its a shame that we never really saw what Tyson could do with his back to the wall in those years lost to jail. Its all conjecture, hypothesis and guess work....
