Tyson and Holmes at 38

[tonytucker]

I'm thinking back in time to 1988 when Holmes fought Tyson. Tyson brutally knocked Holmes out in the fourth round-Holmes was 38 at the time. Now Mike is 38 years old. My question is this-If Holmes and Tyson fought when they were both 38 at the same time, then who would win? Call me a psychotic madman if you will, but the voices in my head are telling me that Holmes would win by a decision, or a late round stoppage-you dig? Later brother brolog.

holmes by ko.

I didn't see the Danny Williams fight, so the last image I have of Tyson is the beating that Lewis gave him. That version would be in trouble against Holmes at any age, Larry by easy UD.

[Kid Achilles]

Tyson is a terrible fighter these days. Holmes was still pretty decent in that at least he fought with skill and intelligence at that age. Tyson at this point has been reduced to a one dimensional slugger. A one dimensional slugger who hates getting hit and has below average stamina.

Holmes by KO.

[Colonel Jones]

At any equal age, Holmes beats Tyson easily. He was just better. Simple as that. Tyson even has said similiar thing.

[M26]

In 1988, Tyson simply overwhelmed Holmes with speed and power. At 38 he would never be able to do that. He is much slower now and past the first round he his a one-punch-fighter. Holmes would tear him apart with his jab and knock him out in the later rounds. At the very least he would win by UD.

holmes winning easily

[TheRealDunnagan]

neither holmes nor mike faced quality opposition. all of their significant victories were to guys out of their prime, or bums..

holmes used his ****ing thumb more than anything. watch the scott ledoux fight..he knows he wasn't a legitimate champion, otherwise he wouldn't feel like he still has to ****ing much to prove. I mean come on he's 50 years old trying to bark at George's door like he still has something to prove, he made the butterbean ordeal out to be a real accomplishment ,meh these things make me think larry just needs to retire. he's mad that the public likes mike and george more, and is jealous..

tyson ko 1/2

Holmes would make mincemeat of Iron MIke. If the fight lasts the distance, MIke's face would be so puffed up like burnt popcorn from Larry's jabs.
