    I've only seen the HL but George snacked Evander's head back with the jab so many times, if he was never staggered in that fight then his chin is top 3 of all time.

    IIRC in round 7 Holy was in a bit of trouble.

    It is between David Haye of Jhnonny Nelson for the second best CW of all time after Holyfield as No 1

    Not really. Foreman stumbled Holyfield with a punch, but Evander made most of Foreman's other punches miss. Then Evander exploded. Foreman was just way too slow for Holyfield. The only punch he seemed able to land with semi-consistency was his jab.

    I always remember Holyfield saying Tyson hit really hard but wasnt that hardest. Bowe, Foreman and Lewis being very heavy handed.

    Im a Haye fan but a prime Evander would make mince meat of him along with every heavyweight today apart from Wlad IMO

    just the same that you will never see a 5'9" mw/hw james toney again.

    5'8" barry sanders, 6'5" charles barkley, some guys you just have to appreciate while theyre here.

    Yeah dont you remember when Holyfield made a shirt with a decapitated riddick bowe and lennox lewis on it and talked a lot about fighting them then backed out of the fights multiple times, finally fought bowe and ran like a girl then blamed it on his little toe and when lennox was 40 finally wanted to fight him.

    Holyfield struggled too much against several fighters.

    As a cruiserweight he was almost unbeatable. He had handspeed, power, and footwork. His handspeed was nearly as fast as a prime RJJ. Most of all he had the chin.
