Comments Thread For: Photos: Tyson, Holyfield Go Face To Face and Embrace

If you asked a boxing fan in the 90's "Which fighter will be likely to go broke - Tyson or Holyfield?", the unanimous answer would have been Tyson because of the way he lived his life in the 90's. It's funny though how 20 years later, the opposite's happened...

both of them fools squandered money.

Opposite? Both are broke

If this were 1987 Mike, and Rooney in his corner, he topples Holyfield inside of 5.

Here we go, another one of these guys.

Iron Mike of the 80's is unbeatable because of all the bums he disposed inside of 2 rounds. The truth is he always would've given up if things didn't go his way and resistance was provided. No way Tyson ever goes through a Tua/Beabuchi or Brewster/Leahovich type 12 round fight and comes out on top.

And the taller, skilled boxers have his number.

Meanwhile here in the freezing backwater of the post-colonial UK..

......our favourite national comic/newspaper 'The Sun' went bonkers for all the sauce/ear biting gags and we all suddenly realised how England somehow managed to give the world Benny Hill and Shakespeare.

Tyson cuddling Evander - 'Come here ear mate'
On the meeting of arch rivals - 'Tyson relished the moment'
On the chance meeting 'Glad to ketchup with you.'

Doesn't sound like he wanted anything from Tyson after beating him.

This has me wondering if Tyson did manage to get by Douglas and fought Holyfield in 1990 what would the outcome have been?

The suit claims King used death threats and bribery to prevent Tyson from fighting on a June 21 card at Staples Center as part of a doubleheader with Lewis, to prevent Tyson from signing a contract for a rematch with Lewis and to sever Tyson's ties with his management team.
