Is Evander Holyfield physically stronger than Mike Tyson?

[thesenuts]

I'm having trouble understanding this. Tyson was a natural heavyweight. Holyfield was not. So why was it that Holyfield was able to push Tyson around like a rag doll in both of their fights?

Is it possible that Holyfield's physical strength was greater than Tyson's?

[Jloro]

I'm sure it is a possibility

Tyson was submissive to Evander on the inside.

Can't really put it any other way. I'm sure Holyfield may have been stronger, but Tyson wasn't trying to assert his strength on Holyfield as much as vice versa.

Tyson wasn't a natural heavyweight either. He was a cruiserweight.

Physical strength? Naw, it ain't about that. It's what the Lord wanna him to do.

Holyfield at the time, with his power pellets was a very strong guy, AND had much better stamina/durability than Tyson at that time.

Holyfield could eat Tyson's punches, but Tyson couldn't deal with all of holyfield's punches/head butts.

I voted no. I think Tyson is just as strong. They are a pair of bulls. Holyfield lifted lots of heavy weights in training.
