    Would Tyson have defeated Holyfield if he beat Douglas?

    I was wondering what all of you NSB'ers think about the outcome of this match up had Tyson been victorious vs Douglas.....(I am sure this has been a topic of discussion in the past on many message boards)

    A lot of people I have talked to through the years are still in belief that Mike Tyson would have beat Evander Holyfield at that time....

    What do you think the outcome of this fight would have been?

      I think it would've been pretty much the same outcome. Holy got his number.

              Even if Mike had gotten past Buster, Cus was already gone, the only person who was able to tame his inner demons.

                It's really hard to say. If Douglas gets counted out after the uppercut knockdown in Tokyo, maybe Tyson would have a big wake up call and then still have confidence and train hard for Holyfield and maybe beat him.

                  A lot of peeps talk about Tyson being a lot better fighter back then, which he obviously was, what they seem to forget was so was Holyfield. imo Holyfield beats him regardless.

                    holyfields steroid use made his head expand thus making his most relied upon weapon that much more dangerous...tyson had no chance against holyfield...he would have thrown more headers than pele
