would tyson ever have been able to beat holyfield

[monkeyboy]

Better question; Could Holyfield have beaten any decent heavyweights without steroids?

[JDezi4]

Hell yeah. I think Holyfield would be one of hte few people that will take his punches for 12 rounds and go the distance, but there's no doubting who would win.

[Jimbo16031992]

Holyfield would have headbutted him to death no matter which Tyson turned up, but as soon as Tyson left Rooney he looked worse, the first Bruno fight was his first without Rooney and his defense and timing already look shoddy.

The Tyson that came out of Jail was not the same boxer that dismantled Holmes in 4 and destroyed Spinks in a round.

So pre 1990 Tyson wins it for me. This was also the time before Holyfield was allegedly using PEDs

Often wondered about this one. Back before Mike Tyson went to jail, I believed he'd beat Holyfield. Evander had only three fights at heavyweight when the fight was being seriously discussed. When they finally met, after Tyson's stint, I predicted Holyfield would win. (Didn't take a genius.) Hindsight only makes this one harder. Prime for prime, I lean towards a Tyson victory. But we've all seen what a determined adversary with real ability could do to Mike.

holyfield was a beast even b4 tyson went to jail no doubt in my mind he would have beat him then

[goblin213]

Never! Tyson's gameplan is to get inside his opponent but Holyfield's inside fighting skills is just too good for Tyson. Plus that head will always be there to frustrate Mike.

Wow this is not hard to figure out after the outcomes of both fights. Ok Tyson wasnt considered in his prime skill wise when they fought borh times. But Evander had and will always have the stronger mentality then Tyson. With that said, Evander would have always grinded Tyson down mentally and beat him. Holyfield was like Tyson older brother putting little brother in place. Tyson also could not hurt Holyfield because Evander is a monster over the beast haha and in my opnion a better boxer. Holyfiled= Tyson's daddy. He is the warrior and everthing it defines

Evander was head-butting !!!
