    I used CW Holyfield because back in Louis prime, at 190 pounds, Holyfield would have been a legit heavyweight without bulking up. How could the best version of cruiser weight Holyfield do against a prime Joe Louis?

    Probably a bit too easy to draw into a war.

    Yep Holy field get s drawn in to a war and comes off worst .He starts out well ,moving and bouncing in and out. Louis keeping coming after him. At about the 4 th round mark ,Holy drop's Joe and hard with a ripping left hook .Louis some how makes it up but barely. As the fight goes on Holy is getting more confident and laying in to Louis .Around the 8 th Louis suddenly let's loose with a short ,fast left ,right ,left that catchy him coming in .Holy field is hurt and bad !
    He rise's at 6 but Joe catches him with another dynamic combo ..the real Deal is down and out .

    Holyfield was too green as a cruiserweight. Holyfield from 1991-1992 had the ability and experience to give Louis a run for his money though.

    I take it that you are not too confident in Holyfield chances of coming out on top.
