    How would the Tyson vs Holyfield rematch have played out if Tyson didn't bite Holyfields ear?

    Tyson was winning the third round before the bite.

    He gets battered and stopped.

    Tyson imploded because he knew how the fight was going.

      Are you sure? Because in this post fight interview, he said he only did it because he kept getting headbutted.

        I’m aware that that was his excuse.

        In reality, he folded and looked for a way out.

          Tyson was affiliated with degeneration X, that dastardly group would have interfered somehow in the match and got Tyson the W

            What makes you think Tyson was gonna win while in the best round he was having in the entire trilogy, he still was not hurting Holyfield who was eating his punches and giving it back to him?

            The only time Tyson ever hurt Evander was in the opening seconds of their first fight when he caught him off guard, and after that Evander knew he could take his best punch.

            Perhaps most importantly: Tyson knew Evander could take his best punch.

              He got pi$$ off because the butt heads, first fight he used the head like a ram, the second he started where he had left off.

                The bite wasnt done because he thought he had a chance.

                  Tyson ran out of gas and knew he was cooked. He didn’t train as hard for the rematch. He was there for the payday.

                  He found a way out.
