    First of all, Frazier had zero quit in him... Tyson quit to Holy, his will was broken. Second, does anyone hear really think that Holy could engage `Smokin` Joe in the trenches and come out on top ??? Holyfield was torn up on the inside by Bowe, watch the films. He really got taken to school by Bowe inside. Who was taught the nuances of infighting by the legendary Eddie Futch. Who showed those tricks to Frazier as well. Frazier would get to Holy, who can`t resist a good old fashioned brawl. Frazier, UD or late stoppage. Holy wasn`t the big banger typ heavy that was a nighmare for Frazier (Foreman) and holy doesn`t have one punch juice to keep Frazier off of him.Comparing Frazier to Tyson ? Frazier`s a whole other animal...

    Absolutely.It's important to remember that Bowe always outweighed Holyfield by some thirty pounds when the two fought.This weight advantage allowed Bowe to absorb Holyfield's punches alot easier and such a great weight advantage is always going to be decisive at close quarters.


    The fact that Holyfield was able to compete on the inside with Bowe is an amazing feat in itself.Frazier never fought anybody that size with the offensive inside skills that Bowe possessed.
