Holyfield would have been beat by mike under cus. When he was 15-19 Ammiright 🙄 Tyson ducked Holyfield forever fought bruce seldon. And buster. Even Lennox who was number 1 contender back then. Tysons found time fight frank Bruno twice. And razor rusdock. No time for Holyfield well after he fought 3 wars in a year and was knocked out and looked horrible in the third bowe fight. Didn’t fight Mercer. Foreman. Morrison. Lennox holy bowe. Golota. Tua. Klitschko. Byrd would have killed him. Ibeabuchi would have James Toney would have boxed him up. He should have been dqd 5-6 fights in a row as well but he was just handled like a baby or a spoiled brat with no consequence of actions But man he killed a lot of second and third tier fighters. Tyson is one of my favorites as he was one of the most exciting and dirty fighters. Not because he was the goat. Maybe 4th or 5th best of his generation Lennox. Holyfield bowe Foreman would have beaten him as well. Foreman chased that fight and for all of these guys tyson wouldn’t fight them Holyfield fought those guys 8 times. .

Bro, I watched both fights and Tyson lost to Elbows and Headbutts and Politics. Evander should have been disqualified in Both fights, and ... I was actually at a College Kegger in New York for Holyfield vs Tyson 2, and I was saying early in the fight that Tyson was going to lose to Headbutts AGAIN and, that although I understand why the Public wanted him to lose at the time, he did not deserve a TKO loss on his record. Holyfield was a receding boxer because they called his Elbows and Headbutts for everyone BUT Tyson. I actually told everyone at that keg party that I would Low-Blow Holyfield if he butted me one more time. Biting his ear off.. I lol'd. F***r had it coming. Good of Mike to forgive him.

@ what

[@hazardous8301]

@Will B if you really believe that, you’re stupid as hell. I agree it wasn’t his trainer that caused his downfall. I’ve already said the real reason in my previous comment on this thread. But Tyson was far from over hyped. Most boxes hit their prime in their mid twenties. Tyson was a unstoppable wrecking ball in his late teens. Demolishing everyone that crossed his path without so much as a proper challenge. Issue was, Boxing was something he only got into because of his adoptive father figure. It provided a outlet for his aggressive nature, and temporarily got him out of his street habits. But when said father figure died, he lost all drive and motivation, and fell right back into those habits. He cut back on training, and the more time past, the less training he did. He’s literally said all of this in a interview. Tyson was already the greatest boxer in history at 18, but he had given up on his boxing career in every aspect beyond officially quitting before he reach his prime age. Tyson wasn’t over hype, he just never truly lived up to his potential.

[@tonyabrego1]

It’s good to balance out what really happened that night. All I can remember is the incident. Now I see how hard Tyson had to work to be the star at the top of the world. The fact that Tyson and Holyfield put away the past and look forward to a better day at peace with one another is inspiring. I’m glad and thankful for setting the record straight. It was not just about the incident. The referee, Holyfield and Tyson are great men of boxing.

[@markdowling287]

Yeah I completely agree with you when Kevin Rooney and Jim Jacobs were taken out of the picture Don King literally ate Mike Tyson alive. I remember that Larry Holmes said that was what was going to happen and that’s exactly what happened that’s why I respect Larry Holmes. Jim Jacobs I did not know it was a world champion handball player and that sport is no joke a lot of athletes in the old days used to use handball to get in shape including Jim Jeffries

[@OnDubbz]

I’ve always wondered how the other boxes who fought him felt, facing him in that ring. I mean, you knew you were gonna lose, and get knocked out most likely. I think I would’ve been just happy to get a good jaw connect. Lol.

@@OnDubbz they all felt honored to be able to get the chance to fight iron mike. in boxing there is a lot of respect that gets earned and it goes along ways in and out of the ring. iron mike earned the respect of regular people too not just boxers and boxing fans. he doesn't carry himself like lebron thinking he is better then everyone else or what he says/does is better then you or i and that goes along ways with regular people and children. i remember a interview with mike where he was asked if he could be anywhere right now where would he be? without even a slight pause he said with his kids. that goes along ways too

At the height of his career, Mike Tyson was a juggernaut. No question about it. if he had walked the line of an honorable heavyweight, who knows how long he could have reigned.

[@whybri4593]

Problem is “walking the line of an honorable juggernaut “ was not possible cuz you would have never seen the greatness you saw if he was that type of person. I don’t know if you could have had both. In not so many words. He was an animal with no regard for human life. That is why he was as great as he was. IMO

Dude wouldn't even train for 3 months then show up and beat the piss out of hollyfield.
