    - -Big Dummy easy to outbox, so non prime Tubbs exposed him before he beat the brakes off Evan 2 of 3.

    Sorta like Mike Spinks did to Qawi before he sent Evan into ICU.

      Yet he almost died vs the even older tubby stump of Qawi who got chased out of the Lightwt division by Mike Spinks.

      So no, NO VERSION OF FIELD THAT EVER EXISTED BEATS THE RECORD SETTING Tyson.

      Count yer faint victories as wins and move on. He and Lewis would've been paupers but for Mike. As it was Evan couldn't hang on to the riches he did earn, so instead he hung on far too long in boxing in an old story for generations past and to come.
      No shame in Qawi losing to one of the most dangerous light heavyweights of all time (Spinks), and Qawi is a tough battle for pretty much everyone he faces (including comeback foreman before he quit). A guy twice his size and height, pretty impressive if you ask me.

      You fault and 11-0 Holyfield for going life and death with one of the most durable fighters in history in Qawi after a drastic step up in competition, but say nothing about "record setting Mike" squeezing past James Tillis. I'll have to get my scorecard, but I remember having Tyson winning by about 2 rounds. I see no reason why the Qawi version of Holyfield wouldn't be absolutely lethal vs Tyson especially being that back then, his stamina/volume punching was to a way higher degree. Not to mention, both Tyson/Tillis and Holyfield /Qawi 1 occurred in the same year and Tyson weighed only 215 lbs back then.

        Of course. You just reminded me of the scene in Good Morning, Vietnam when one of the guys walks by in a shower cap and Robin Williams tells him "You're a handsome man, don't think I haven't noticed"

          I thought Tubbs landed the more telling shots. However, Tubbs was one of Bowe's toughest fights.

          I understand that Michael Spinks is a win tyson does not get alot of credit, but Spinks, like Holyfield, is a buffed up light heavyweight.

            He definitely was one of Bowe's hardest fights. Can't agree with the Holyfield/Spinks comparison though. The difference being that Evander is a legit heavyweight great and multi champion at the weight. Spinks didn't have the belt long enough, and really only had one good win at the weight (1st Holmes fight, 2nd one was highway robbery). Calling Holyfield a buffed up 175 pounder is the same thing as calling Canelo a blown up junior welterweight, just because he started his career there. Holyfield had less than 10 fights at 175.

              I'm giving Holyfield a 90% win rate over Tyson. That's kind on Tyson, as we all know that in reality, Holyfield has a 100% win rate over him. Go **** your mother again, you bum.

                Queenie has a prosthetic hard on for Holyfield and Lewis. She'll do whatever she can to discredit them.

                  Ali beats fury 100% of the time and so will AJ. Go troll somewhere else, we are actually trying to have a legit conversation.

                    Fury could beat Ali and Joshua on the same night. Ken Norton beat Ali all three times in reality. Ali was a very good boxer and an amazing personality, but purely for boxing ability, he is overrated a bit.

                      Big daddy beat evander. I think fury would use that big size weight advantage and tire out Holyfield

                      I love evabder, always a warrior!

                      Sometimes Goliath beats David
