Would have loved to see Prime Tyson against Prime Holyfield. I think after prison Mike was a different boxer.
This is a popular choice, but I don't know what changes. I guess people like to think that Tyson has a better chance of getting Holyfield out of there via knockout but Holyfield was never knocked out in his career, and he faced prime Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis. TKO'd in the 8th by Bowe but Tyson tended to fade past the 7th with only one TKO past that point (Ribalta), and no KOs.
Holyfield was just a bad matchup for him. Lot of boxers backed up on Tyson which fed right into his gameplan. Holyfield smothered him. Holyfield was not the type of fighter to ever get bullied by anyone, which Tyson relied on his opponent throwing their gameplan out of the window once they got in trouble. Holyfield could take a hit and maintain his composure.

Still would be a really fun fight to see. And would qualify as a dream matchup.
