holyfield knows how to beat tyson, its as simple as that,he's not scared of tyson and he fights back, tyson cannot fight going backwards, holy has his number, just get over it

i mean prime vs prime. so u mean douglas also got tyson´s number?. if yes, toney and ruiz got holyfields number.

That's a terrible comparison. Toney and Ruiz fought Holyfield when he had declined to a point where it was embarassing. Douglas fought Tyson when he was still in his physical prime. I don't care how unprepared Tyson was, he was still in his twenties and in good health. Tyson had no good excuses for losing to Douglas. He just didn't have the heart to stand up to a bigger man who had no fear of him and who followed through on a smart gameplan.

You can make excuses for anyone, watch.

Joe Louis should have been undefeated in his prime. He took Schmeling lightly because Max was over the hill and therefore the loss should be wiped from his record.

Dempsey was inexperienced when he lost to those early fighters and too old when he lost to Tunney. Take all of those losses off his record. Undefeated.

Max Baer didn't take boxing seriously. His record should be 84-0 I don't believe any of his loses were fair because he wasn't the fighter he could have been for those fights.

This is fun!

its not a bad comparison. it has reason just after he fire kevin rooney he got ko(no training etc). maybe you have right, but i cant see how douglas can beat a prime tyson(prime holyfield got better chance to beat tyson, douglas not even close), douglas had no heart and will. he folds everything when he got hit like he did to holyfield/tucker. douglas just had been in right place in right time.

I have to say Holyfield was better.

[Komandos]

In the fight Holifield,but I think Mike Tyson.

[Dr.Pugilist]

Holyfield was a better boxer and a much smarter fighter. Tyson was vastly more talented. I'm a huge Tyson fan and I think prime vs. prime before Tyson started really cracking up...Tyson wins late round K.O. by working the body.

Overall however it comes down to this...

Holyfield = strong mind

Tyson = weak mind

Holyfield > Tyson

If they had fought b4 tyson went to jail it wouldve been a different story.
