even if tyson beat holyfield in 96. still would be haters!!

even if he did all the tyson haters would of said is that he beat a guy that has takin alot of abuse already and is well passed his prime. i think to the tyson haters he will never get any credit for what he did cause there either going to say that there bums or that they were out of there prime. soooooo what fight would have tyson got the credit he deserves??? cause every1 in the 90s was sorta ****ty as well.

Unfortunatley that fight happened too late. If it had taken place when it was supposed to I think it would have been a great fight, and Tyson would have won a decision or by late tko.

If... too bad if didn't happen and Holyfield made Tyson look like a bum.

yeah he did make him look bad. but what fight would have get him uyp there with the greats?

yeah unfortunately, even if Holyfield fought the SAME way he did that night, but Tyson fought even BETTER and won?...Tyson would not have gotten much credit as he was expected to win and the BIG time favorite to win...thing is that it was the fight that made Holyfield's career under the circumstances (health reports, past wars, 25-1 underdog)...it wouldn't have been THE fight to make Tyson's career had the tables been turned because of those same circumstances...I think THE fight that Tyson had in his career the would have made his career beyond the 80s was vs Lewis...

If Tyson TKO'd Jesus in 3 there would still be haters...no question about it.

jesus was like 120lbs though. he liked to fish and make things out of wood, i doubt he would have been a good fighter.

Umm correct me if I'm wrong but when the fight was originally scheduled wasnt Holy still strong and able? It didnt happen cuz Tyson went to jail .

mmmmmmmmm no it didnt happen cause tyson got his ass kicked while holyfield was waiting front row for the winner which every1 thought would be tyson. then that honor went to douglas and thats how holyfield became undisputed by beating douglas ass in 3.
