Holmes looked good, even made Holyfield look foolish a couple of times, but only for a few rounds.
The majority of the fight Holmes just went into walkabout survival mode.

Holyfield showed some smarts in there too, he adjusted his attacks after a few rounds so as to not leave the openings for Larry.

I thought Holmes won 3 rounds maybe. But in his prime I think he'd beat Holyfield.
The best Holmes had a style to beat the best Holyfield, IMO.

The two greatest heavyweights since Ali & Frazier, IMO.
(But I understand the arguments for LL)
