    holyfeld beat tyson anytime, even mike said so.
    Holyfield did not beat Mike when he was hungry and interested in boxing. If you fallowed Tysons career closely, you would know he started going down hill after the Spinks fight. He wanted to call the shots, he wanted to train the way he wanted. That's why he got rid of Rooney and lost that great defensive head movement he had through most of the late 80's. Haters will hate and only see what they want to see. Tyson hurt a lot of your guys feelings and pissed off a lot of you and will always be underrated by you because of that. Holyfield at his best strugled with guys like an old Larry Holmes and Bert Cooper, to name a couple. A prime Tyson definitely would have knocked him out. Learn your history.

          I'm a massive believer in what Michael Gerrard Tyson was -

          "A natural born killing machine" and by far the most exciting heavyweight i've ever seen..

          I'll always be gutted over the things that went wrong in his life. He was special, very very special indeed!

Tyson was the ultimate Prizefighter and other than Muhammad Ali he would be favorite to beat any fighter in history.
            The great Lennox Lewis wouldve destroyed any version of Mike Tyson that ever lived. Too big, too smart, and far more powerful.

                      let me tell u something about the "real deal" holyfield, u said tyson is past prime but for me is holyfield is the one who is past his prime, why:
                      1.war againt dwight muhammad qawi in LHW division, probably the best puncher in that division 2 times
                      2. war again george foreman the best puncher in HW alltime
                      3. war again rid**** bowe, the most talented HW at that time. 3times
                      4. war again michael moorer legit HW champion
                      5. heart(healt) problem
                      6. hepatitis problem
                      this is real life son, everybody has problem but to avercome problem is what make you great.
                      i always believe style make fight, and thats what happen in tyson-holyfield fight. tyson love inside and rough fight and holyfield too, the different is holyfield is a warrior and tyson easily frustated.
                      know your history!!!!
