WHAT IF Tyson Fought Holyfield in 1991? Who wins ?

Before the imprisonment i think he had enough to win but I feel the fight would be so great that they would have 2 other fights which Evander would win. Holyfiels was the nemesis of Tyson, similar to what he did with Bowe, just finished off their careers.

Evander didn't finish off Bowe.... Golota and Lennox Lewis via the media finished off Bowe.

Bowe was finished by the time he fought Golota.

I can see Tyson with Jacobs still with him defeating Holyfield, but even Jacobs had a hard time keeping Tyson on track. By '91 the trains was well off the rails

[El Kabong]

Evander may have had to survive a knockdown if they fought more towards Tyson's prime but he always had the perfect style to match Tyson. He met pressure with pressure, he never gave Tyson a chance to gather himself, he stayed busy with his hands, and he made openings vs Tyson and landed clean.


Tyson-Bowe would have been nice around that time or later Tyson-Briggs would have been nice, or Tyson-Rahman, or Tyson-Tua, or Tyson-Mercer, or Tyson-Moorer, or Tyson-Morrison....everyone who is anyone will admit they wanted to see Tyson fight more often and fight more of the stars/contenders after his stint in the hoosegow

Bowe finished off Bowe, by being a lazy fat ass who would rather down a burger than run on a treadmill, Foreman did the same thing during the second half of his career but he was an entirely different breed than Bowe

I never thought of it this way, but I believe you are correct. Holyfield took what each man had left to give at the elite level.

He was a motherfucker to fight, wasn't he?

Tyson was already standing straight up looking for one punch with muchless head movement than the 80s Tyson. Holyfield was in his damnedest best prime in '91. Evander wins this one. A long slow beat down. UD or maybe late stoppage.

[SugarBoxing]

by all means, Holyfield would do far better than Tillis

[Mr140]

Holyfeild would take it at anytime i fell just a bad match up for Tyson really if you think about it. He had a chin, could recover fast, had stamina for days, could fight inside well and box, more heart then anyone and his head was fucking made of steel. Holyfeild is bad news for most to ever walk into the ring.

[jon09]

Holyfield beats him every time no matter the year.

[Beanflicker]

I'd go with Tyson for sure.

[imp]

Tyson was past his prime picking up cheques..for such a small guy tyson really was one of the greatest of all time.

Didn't Tyson go back on tear though after his loss to Douglas?? That jail sentence ate mike up. Don king ate mike and JC Chavez Sr up at the same time. That mfer is still robbing fighters too
