Mike Tyson never did have the style to cope with Holyfield BUT had that happened I think people would look at him much the way they do now which is they overrate him a bunch. Don't get me wrong I like Tyson but I know as a fan of other fighters we do as fans tend to look past their shortcomings and Tyson had his (just as Wlad has his ) but there were very few fighters that could capitalize on them.

I wish Tyson had fought more of the top level contenders in his post prison career.

Tyson vs the following:

Riddick Bowe
Shannon Briggs
Hasim Rahman
Michael Moorer
David Tua
Tommy Morrison
Ray Mercer
Oliver McCall


I think all of those fights would have tested Tyson more than oh let's say Lou Savarese and Peter McNeeley...and it's fun to see guys like Briggs and Moorer KO'd
