    Louis knocks holy out within 12. Holyfield was to easy to hit. Being to easy to hit against Louis is a death sentence. Tyson couldn’t make him pay and didn’t have the stamina (holy also controlled the distance real well that fight). Louis won’t have that problem. Would be fun while it lasted though probably a knockdown each side before it ends.

    Hadn't noticed when you got back bro. Still believe Ray Mercer would stop prime Ali in 3?

    Louis had more power than Holy and was far better than most of the fighters that lasted longer than the first round v Holy. Evander only scored two 1st round victories in his entire career and those wins were at cruiser, the quckest stoppage he got at heavy was v Addilison Rodriquez in the second round and Rodriguez was nowhere near Louis`s level.

    On February 28, 2007, Holyfield was anonymously linked to Applied Pharmacy Services, a pharmacy in Alabama that was under investigation for supplying athletes with illegal steroids and human growth hormone (HGH). He denied ever using performance enhancers.

    no joe had less padding which made his power harder doesnt mean he really hit harder and sense you dont have any vid of joe moving like most people the great holy fought it's no reason to talk I dont like talking to people like you here

    How did I guess?

    Another old thread exhumed by the sites very own Chief Coroner and Medical Examiner desperately looking for a clue. Aka Quincy M.E for those who remember.

    I guess it’s possible that Evander might cause Joe to tear up after the Bomber ultimately pole axes him. But then again, nah, Joe was very impassive and business like. He’d probably duck out straight after the fight to renew his wedding vows or follow up on an extra marital acquaintance.

    It`s his body mechanics that gave him that power his balance was great, however you said Holy`s opponents moved better than Joe but Stewart and Foreman had awful movement.

    holy didnt only fight those 2 names you know that dont you
    that doesn't work with me picking out a couple fights you should know that already

    his balance was good for that time yea

    95 percent of joe era moved like trash jersey was the best mover of the whole era and was the best mover until the ali era came

    I am honestly confused how he hasn't gotten banned over this. This is maybe his 20th time bumping a dead thread, and it's always an old vs new HW debate. The same discussions over and over.

    When you first watch Louis, you may zoom in on the slow footwork. The apparent lack of movement. When you keep watching it dawns how well he read opponents. How vicious he was on the counter. How good he was. Period.
