Everything that Floyd vs Oscar did for the good of boxing, this fight, if proposed, would undo. Both are finished. Holyfield is still deluding himself into thinking he can become undisputed champ again, whereas Tyson is bloated up, and would probably take this one just for the money, which is sad when you consider that Tyson made at least $300 million in his career.
Holyfield is in training and decent condition as he feeld he has something to prove by carrying on his career, and I think his activity (for what it's been worth so far) and that fact that he is in the gym, I would pick Evander to beat Tyson widely over 12 rounds, or for Tyson to retire around the 6th/7th for something like the NABF.

The bottomline is that Holyifeld throughout the course of his career could have beat Tyson. Tyson always looked menacing and GREAT when he fought the likes of, Steve Zouski, David Jaco, Sterling Benjamin, Mark Young, Larry Sims, Mike Jameson, Kevin McBride, and Lorenzo Boyd. NEWSFLASH! This is a far cry from Tyson fighting Ruddock, Holyfield, Lewis and Douglas. Holyfield fought guys like Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, Foreman, Moorer, Ruiz, Byrd, Rahman, Mercer, Douglas, and Qawi. Real fighters......he lost sometimes, but he fought 'em all....and he always fought like the warrior that he is. He won his fair share of fights. Often an underdog he showed his worth, his heart and his determination time and time again. Evander is the warrior that would destroy a musclehead that is one Mike Tyson on any day, at any time in his career. Evander was simply a better boxer. He has always been more disciplined, more technically sound and has always shown unbelieveable heart and resolve in the ring. I know a lot of so called boxing fans are in love with the violent knockout, but, that is just one part of the sweet science, Evander epitomized more of the full spectrum of the sweet science.

Holyfield's still a good enough boxer while Tyson's done and washed up with no more speed.

That would be a sad day for boxing if that fight ever happened. I wouldn't put it past Don King, Murad Muhammad or Finkel to get these two into the ring for one of the alphabelts.
