      I'm gonna have to go with Iron Mike , if the fight was staged between both at their prime. Even though Holyfield had a granite chin and was superbly conditioned , I still reckon that by the time the two actually met , Mike had lost a ton of speed and had other issues around him at the time. NO BODY could apply the pressure of a prime Tyson and I dont think Evander would have been prepared for it.

        NO ONE? Ever heard of Dempsey? Louis? Marciano? Liston? Frazier? Foreman? Further, Holyfield had made a study of Tyson ever since the 84' Olympic trials: I think he would have been prepared.

                Journeyman and perennial underachiever Buster Douglas made him look crude and amateurish. And don't tell me Tyson was washed up at age 22 or 23 or whatever

                  u say that cuz he been knocked out...

                  i dont believe tysone ever maxed out his potential.

                  he self destructed with the ppl he chose to surround himself with and the decisions he made.

                      Tysons the type of guy who ether anhilates his opponents or gets taken to school himself.

                      for instance I see Foreman pushing him around and ending the fight with repeated upper cuts, where as I see Tyson Koing a guy like Frazier early. All depends on who he's up against.
