Mentioning he was 200 pounds in weight when he was just 12 and 13 years old shows you how his young days were different to his older days as a professional.

Many believe he was in his prime in his young days which is true but he still had enough ability, punching power and hand speed when he was past his best later in his career to basically beat everyone accept Lennox Lewis.

If Lewis had fought him in his prime even Lewis said he wanted no part of Tyson in his younger days.

Surely, Holyfield beat Tyson as well but the headbutts from Holyfield were horrific in those fights as well, Holyfield should have penalized far more for those headbutts and this is never mentioned enough in their fights.

Recently Holyfield spoke here on how Tyson would have done with Vitali Klitschko and George Foreman.
