    Holyfield Lewis 3.
    Both stayed in good shape, Lewis was the better manin their first 2 fights but Holyfield has been active more recently.

    Tyson Vs Toney 2
    has been active much more recently but his reflexes are completely shot and h has CTE so it evens it out imo.

    Tyson Vs Bowe
    It never happened and would be absolutely brutal even now.

    Toney Vs RJJ
    Roy's legs which won him the first fight have been gone for years so it would bea much different style match up

    ODLH Vs Trinidad 2

    Benn Vs RJJ at catch-weight.

    Absolutely NONE of these.... nor anyone on the senior circuit. The novelty will wear away after a minute..

    Not if you're a fan of that era. It's the same reason why these old wrestlers like Hulk Hogan were recycled for decades in WWE. People are attached to them and many would rather watch the faded old legends that they grew up with than the current young talent.

    I AM a fan of that era. That's exactly why I don't care to see old man rematches. Wrestling is NOTHING like boxing...the outcomes are pre-determined. Of course Hulk can come back at age 60 and win...it's in the script to win!

    I get the nostalgia of them, but in the ring would NOT be the fighters he knew. Just old, slow husks of what looked like guys we saw once upon a time.
