Holyfield was always better than Tyson in their primes

Iron Mike while a ferocious fighter didn’t have the technical ability and the will in a war of attrition that Holyfield had.

Not to mention Tyson ducked Holyfield for years.

Holyfield > Tyson

so was mike tyson and everybody else in the heavy weight division is taking at least something.

I am willing to bet my right hand that 97% has taken or is taking something at least the top contenders.

Holyfield fould his way through an already past it Mike Tyson. If you can't see the world of difference with the way that Mike moved vs Kevin Rooney Mike, then you need to study the man more.

I watched his training with Danny Williams way later, even on the pads he looked pathetic. Compare that to how he moved when he was 18.

Mike was already post-glow, some people just peak too soon. In Mike's case, he was heavy on drugs, alcohol, partying, hookers - and you expect him to be as good as he was when he lived the life of a monk for 5 years, breathing and eating everything his trainer said to him, who happened to be one of the most accomplished boxing trainers of all time

One of the top selling video games of all-time wasn't Evander Holyfield's Punchout

Only one man has the nickname "Baddest Man on the Planet"

Only one man will forever be the youngest World Heavyweight Champion



I'm not saying Iron Mike is THEEE greatest technical boxer of all-time, but when it comes to getting in the ring with someone, laughing and bee-bopping around and he's staring you down in a stone cold glare, with black boots and black trunks, getting punched in the face .... there is no one badder than a Prime Mike Tyson. No one.

No version of Tyson beats Holyfield. Even Mike knows that much.

If holy would have came up from cruiser to challenge him pre prison I believe he would have been sparked out

1996 Tyson was way past his best and was afraid to fight a 45 year old foreman, thats how unconfident he was in his abilities

People say Mike in his prime vs whoever else and think of the days AFTER Cuz died.
Tyson barely trained, was addicted to coke and drank alot and was an emotional wreck, and mind ****ed by greedy people.

Tyson in his prime was unstoppable. But we cant prove it since the past is the past and maybe Tyson never actually hit his actual potential peak in a scenario where Cuz didnt die.

I guess its time to start training again.

Holyfield was further past his prime than Tyson was when they finally fought. Not to mention that Tyson ducked Holyfield throughout the 80’s and before his prison stint.

Tyson couldn’t even make the Olympic team while Holyfield did.

Holyfield headbutted though, and i don't know for sure if he would have beat Mike in a street fight in his prime

A 1996 Tyson wasn't the same as a 1988 Tyson at all

Sugar Ray Robinson is ranked #1 (and leader in KO) of ALL time, pound for pound, boyos. Look it up. He's always ranked in the (subjective) top 3.
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.

Let's show RESPECT for the POLICE and ALL FIRST RESPONDERS by helping to keep THEM SAFE AND SOUND, and thereby able to PROTECT US!
