prime tyson - ko 7
preprison but defeated tyson - ko 12
after prison tyson - we all saw what happened there.

tyson nearly put holy down in round 5, if he was prime he could have fought that roun 5 every round 10 times better
he didnt almost put holyfield down and holyfield was past his prime aswell thats what people seem to forget i praised tyson in this thread when i dont like him he was great fighter it depends really would holyfield fight smart or would he be silly and get lured into brawl which would be dangerous because tyson even in 1991 was still very good them body shots he landed on ruddock if he would of landed them on me i wouldnt have stomach left :P but like i say its pick em if holyfield fights smart he can win this if he gets lured into brawl like he did vs bowe 1 or with bert cooper i say tyson wins so its pick em
Holyfield could take better shots as he got older yes he stopped Tyson tko 11 in 1996 but he got away with alot of holding and spoiling had he stood toe to toe he would have been stopped but Holyfield could'nt have been that far past it he then beat Tyson dsq 3 in the famous ear biting fight then added the IBF to his WBA title by stopping Michael Moorer in 8.Then he had 2 good fights against Lennox in which some think he won the second one then had wins over Ruiz and Rahman
I like it, tysonbruno! 3 years spent in jail and away from active boxing would indicate being more past it IMO. And it took Holyfield 11 rounds to break down a Tyson who to be honest hadnt faced anybody in his comeback.

Erase 5 years and Tyson goes the distance and does a lot more against Holyfield
