Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield Postfight (1996, part 4)

[@anthonytonyduckscorallo1361]

@scotthovsepian88 You can blame Mike for this fight not happening earlier. They were scheduled to fight on a few occasions. 1. The first time they were scheduled to fight was in June of 1990, but the bout was scrapped after Tyson loses to Douglas in Tokyo on February 11, 1990. 2. The second time they were scheduled to fight was on November 8, 1991, but the bout was postponed due to Tyson suffering a cartilage injury to his left rib cage during training on October 8, 1991. 3. On the third time around, both camps were in discussion for a possible fight date sometime after January of 1992, but those discussions went up in flames after Tyson gets himself convicted of rape on February 10, 1992.

He was off balance on the knockdown, it shouldn’t have been counted as a knockdown

[@MusicSportandGeneralStuff]

Look at their careers Holyfield is just the better fighter

GOOOD

I feel Mike made the mistake fighting Evander right away. Should have fought Moorer or Lewis

[@poejineapples8717]

Agree, probably should've had dozen fights before titles like foremans comeback.

[@larryzeldin7561]

He would have got picked up apart. Tysons opponents prior to the Holyfield was cherry picked… they were pretty much cherry picked most of his career. Tyson took 3 fights prior to Holyfield and all of them were bums… that white dude? Mcneely I think. Bruno who he beat before and seldon… he didn’t fight moorer,tua,foreman,the guy that beat lewis in their first fight,bowe… he ducked all the hall of famers and when he did fight one he lost.

[@flipflop4396]

Mike took Holyfield because he and and his team thought Holyfield was done and way past his best days plus his health problemsna and injuries..and that it will be an easy fight. Heck most of guys thought Evander wont last more than 3 rounds.

mike "i dont remember" tyson

[@30over3]

Holyfield might've gotten lucky they didn't fight in 1991. Tyson was still formidable back then and wasn't coming off a 4 year layoff while Holyfield didn't have much big fight heavyweight experience. With Tyson rotting in prison Holyfield certainly became more seasoned by fighting Holmes, Bowe, Stewart, Bowe again, Moorer, Mercer and Bowe a third time.

I agree 100%. I know it sounds like coulda, woulda, shoulda, but I believe Tyson beats Holyfield in their primes. Even in 1991 (Tyson past his prime), like you said.

​@@BoxingOutsidetheRopestyson underestimated holyfield and when the second fight came along tyson was battering holyfield all rounds and could've won but evander was headbutting and hitting low

​@@MaddSteppathose claims are coming only from Tyson camp and his fanboys...no boxing expert who saw the fight ever said that.
