    Tyson had the aura, the mystiqe, the excitement in terms of KO's. To answer the question accurately though, I'd have to go with Holyfield. Tyson's fights just didn't last long enough for the most part to be truly classified as entertaining.

      Great question, but I'd have to go with "The Real Deal".

        thats another reason why Holy was more entertaining he was a more succesfull fighter with a bigger heart and an almost unhuman tollerance for pain

        Tyson was all hype Holy was all buisness the guy quit against Mcbride i dont know about u but entertainment for me usually involves a fighter giving his all and bareing his soul to win a fight ,that is not Mike Tyson IMO

              Holyfield. He fights in a style where he'll break you down in an accumulation of hard clean punches. He wasn't a 1-punch KO guy like Tyson but his style led him to many wars. He would go rounds while Tyson would go for the early KO's, resulting in many fights ending early.

                  Perhaps personality should be included...

                    Holyfield had some boring fights but overall was in some great action fights.
