Holyfield blasphemes the following

I get it, it's adding to my utter confusion at this post though. If an ATG cruiser fought middling heavyweights of yesteryear how would he do? He'd beat them probably. All but Norton I think.

 

Fights like Lyle and Shavers could turn on one big punch and Holy wasn't shy to brawl. He'd drop one somewhere. Norton would be a great fight to watch.

 

But Holy also has dealt two hardest hitters of his era in Tyson and Foreman. But he was a heavyweight by then. So who the hell knows how much difference the weight makes.

 

Lyle vs Holyfield, Holyfield TKO 7+ (Definitely getting hurt and probably dropped when he started brawling)
Shavers vs Holyfield, Holyfield TKO 4+
(Fun fight while it lasts, with who ever lands hurts the other. But Holyfield was quicker and had better timing so I go with him)
Norton vs Holyfield, Holyfield MD
(Close, fairly entertaining scrap with lots of short exchanges, I favour Holyfield due to his speed, but without much conviction. He could also get a TKO of he landed clean)
Holyfield vs Bonavena, Holyfield UD
(Clear win, once sided Holyfield uses his physical gifts to win this one, Bonavena lasts the distance though)

 

Oscar gives him the best fight and possibly wins. He beats the rest without to much of a problem imo.

 

Does he get a competent ref? DQ by the 3rd round he loses all.

 

Stops Lyle after hitting the deck in a war

Stops Shavers early-mid rounds

UD's Bonavena

Eeks out a UD against Norton, might be called a robbery afterwards

 

What? Like a Hagler vs Leonard robbery? or an Ali vs Jones robbery?

 

like a Canelo vs GGG 2 robbery

 

So debatable for both sides? With the agendas trashing the others

 

Exactly!

 

This. I’d back Holyfield to beat them all, since he was actually a better fighter when he was lighter. When he started putting on the muscle he lost a lot of speed and even his timing and stamina suffered much like when Moore started coming in at 185+.
