I guess I was the one guy who didn't understand the idea Tyson was going to beat Evander.
If you watched Holyfield in Moorer I, Bowe III and against Czyz and watched Tyson against Seldon, Mathis and Bruno (even if all 3 laid down ) and thought Holyfield would win, you are psychic To think Holyfield would win in 91 I can understand, but that version of Holyfield (coming off fights where he looked 50 years old)
Not psychic at all. I never really bought into the Tyson hype even when he was burying the journeymen he buried. And I looked at exactly the list you provided above and thought Tyson is fighting absolute nobodies since prison and Holyfield is tempered by fighting the top of the division over and over again in that same time period.

It wasn't like I laid down a bunch of dough on Evander, I just didn't get the notion that Tyson was the natural choice.
