    The Horse beat him up!

    Holyfield said he hurt his hand on the Horse's jaw.

    True story, that's what he said.

      Ironically i think mike had a better title reign,, whereas holyfield had big wins but his actual reign was very shallow

      mike beat berbick
      smith
      pink
      tucker
      biggs
      holmes
      tubbs
      spinks
      bruno
      williams
      then lost to buster
      cameback and beat bruno
      defended and unified vs seldon

      holy beat buster
      foreman
      cooper
      holmes
      lost to bowe
      then regained from bowe but lost it to moorer
      then regained from tyson and defended it vs
      tyson
      moorer
      bean
      lewis (draw)

      then beat ruiz, but then lost to ruiz

      Tyson's first title reign was much better than holyfields title reign IMO but obviously holyfield had much bigger wins throughout his career, plus all the cruiser accolades

        Good answers so far, I would have thought that most would choose Tyson, since they always include him in fantasy fights, such as Tyson Vs Ali or Tyson Vs Foreman.

          Tyson prime or not, would never beat holyfield,,, He just has his number

                Do you think that Lewis would have always beaten Tyson as well?

                    Not sure about that as i am with holyfield,,,

                    Lewis was great, but a prime tyson would have tagged him alot early and often..
                    I cant really give you a pick on that one,, its 50/50 IMO. Tyson would start fast and lewis would come on late..

                    If i had to make a choice i would say lewis probably takes him due to his size, jab, and skills,

                      I'm not sure, I think 1990 would have been a great fight, great great fight and I'm not sure who I'd pick to win.

                      Holyfield was well well passed it in 96 but I think 96 Holyfield was much better than 96 Tyson (Although it didn't seem that way at the time)
