Tyson was an absolute wrecking machine at that point.

Been awhile since I've watched some replays of Tyson vs Holyfield... I remember watching it live November 9, 1996, but haven't gone back and really looked at the highlights in awhile.

this was a once in a lifetime fight... Most important boxing match I've ever witnessed in my lifetime... and what can I say?

Holyfield beat his ass unfortunately. It's heartbreaking, but that's what happened. Ref did everything he could not to stop it. Probably saved his life.

With all due respect to Holyfield, I think a prime Tyson in the mid 80's before he went to jail and started doing cocaine would have destroyed any version of Holyfield. Tyson was just scary! When I watched him live he was out of his prime already.

Holyfield took steroids as well. I don't care if he repeatedly denied it... he did.

Holyfield is still actively boxing at age 59. He fought Vitor Belfort last year.

His brain is probably pure mush. Sometime needs to stop him from boxing and force him to retire.

There is the possibility (probability) that his brain is pure mush. He was a professional boxer for many decades.

But what's your excuse?

So this thread is the reason why I've been getting, watching so many Mike Tyson videos on YouTube.

It's interesting in how easily one can be sent into a rabbit hole.
