    a third fight could go both ways. Holyfield is nothing compared to what he used to be also, hell, he got koed by James Toney.

    If it goes later rounds Holyfield still probably has it in the bag, but for the first 3 rounds if he gets tagged or injured things could be looking good for mike.

      Holyfield is more like his old self, than tyson (if his last fights are anything to go by) Its no coincidence that the losses on his great record are at the end of his carrer. His Last 12 fights : 5-5-0-2(NC).(5KOs)

      Holyfields last 12 fights : 6-5-1(2KOS).

      Actually looking at it like that, holyfield should get the **** out of Boxing!

          If the fight was made as a four round exhibition I could see Tyson winning on points over this distance! Not that this would mean much!

          He looked good against Williams for three rounds, had a good couple of rounds early on against Lewis and was surely ahead after four with Mcbride.

          The reason why Tyson has not adapted to fighting well into the twilight years of boxing is because he has always tried to fight early on with a high pace, characteristic of his early years. The reason George Foreman and Archie Moore fought well into their forties was because they lowered their punch rate per round and conserved energy over the distance of the fight.

          I will be watching the fight if it happens, the lure of a Tyson fight is always interesting!
