Ken Norton vs Holyfield, Both physical perfection,and simular styles..

Holyfield way too much for Norton.
Prime Holifield way to slick.
Much better inside fighter.
Much better dhin.
And more accurate puncher.

 

Maybe somewhat effective.

 

Yeah I know that was what they said at the time. Im not sure if he was having a heart attack or not.I dont know if a "near heart attack" is even possible. There may have been a problem with his shoulder. He did have Hepatitis around that time though. That showed in the 3rd Bowe fight.

Its odd that he fought so much since then and his heart has been fine.

I did see Moorer southpaw jab give him some problems though.

 

Only just seen this, ****ing stupid thread I have to say. There is such a size disparity it isn't even funny. Buchanan's skills were plentiful but there would be no way he could avoid Holyfield's power for more than two rounds.

 

Look... Ike Williams, yes. Barney Ross, yes. Maybe even Joe Frazier. But not Holyfield, far too big for a ****ing lightweight atsch

 

would be a competitive fight m8s

 

:rofl

 

Holmes didn't even really fight against Holyfield though. Larry played the role of spoiler and basically just blunted Holyfield's attack while fighting a defensive fight. Holmes going the distance doesn't mean he gave Holyfield all he could handle. Holyfield forced the fight and won most of the rounds. It was not close!
