    From a scale to 1-10
    Speed
    Power
    Chin
    Heart
    Courage
    Footwork
    Stamina
    Combinations
    Ring smarts

    And another thing i saw a thread a while back were the question was who had the better chin Ali or Holyfield one person made thestatement that Ali faced bigger punches and wasn't heart as often as Holyfield, but do you think that Holyfields more aggresive fighting style and bad habit of slugging it out which makes it more realistic that he walks in to the punches whereas Ali dances and thereby minimizing the blow.
    Tell me you're thoughts.

    I would say Ali and Holyfield's styles are both enjoyable for different reasons. I love Evander for his Heart and Prime Ali for his skills. I would not change either of them for anything.

    in his prime evander was never out speed...he threw in with dokes on combos and speed...tyson also...his combo punching was very very good...and to throw great combos u have to have the footwork!remember he dropped mercer,tyson and bowe with a single shots each...3 very good chins...so his power is under rated id say...

    Evander was a top drawer HW with an awesome skillset. Inconsistency was a problem for him though.
