AJ vs the 36-7 yo Holyfield who fought Lennox

How would it go and why?

 

I feel Holyfield is just way better. Levels to it, so Holy UD.

 

Holyfield close decision. Joshua keeps him honest enough to avoid getting KO'd.

 

Holyfield

 

AJ would crack him with his best punch and Holyfield wouldn't blink then AJ's ass would fall out and he'd start crying in the corner. AJ is a bully just like Wilder & when a bully gets bullied they fold every time.

 

AJ UD. Close fight but I think older Holyfield was very beatable.

 

Wait? A boxer who can't commit to high-volume because of a suspect gas tank with overrated one-punch power, against someone with solid whiskers who doesn't stop throwing and has a decent dig himself? A boxer who has now lost twice to shorter men (one much lighter too) vs a shorter, lighter man? How do you think this would turn out?

 

Yeah just watch Holyfields feet in the Lewis fight and watch Usyks feet against AJ in the second fight. Usyk footwork far more active and faster and AJ still won 4 rounds.

This would be a very competitive fight despite the nostalgia lensed fooled saying otherwise . The slowing down of Holyfield would make him more of a target. But also Holyfield hits harder than Usyk I think . People who go straight to Holyfield are just history fanboys

 

Evander 116-111, drops AJ in round 7

 

Read above.

Someone who doesn’t stop throwing haha did you even watch the Lewis Holyfield fight? Do you recall how Holyfield fared in his fight against Ruiz of all people right after Lewis fights? It’s all good trying to be witty but at least have some knowledge first

 

It's fun that people still bring Ruiz fight as some evidence to knock on AJ. And juatidy every fantasy match with that loss. And they also forget that AJ school Ruiz 12-0 in the rematch. Going by that logic Lewis would loss a lot of fantasy fights, you know???

 

People has rose tinted glasses when it comes to these fighters. It's funny how they complain about the pace and clinching for lots of Hw fights and call them messy. HW has always been like that.

 

100%

 

Comments are always the best under Fury youtube fights with kids who clearly have only watched Mike Tyson highlight videos. "Bring back Mike Tyson he'd destroy these guys!" absolutely no idea. Just because fury is manhandling someone in the clinch which he what he'd be doing to little mike and Holyfield alike.

 

Overrated punch power? I think you’ve just randomly thrown that in there for whatever reason. AJ hits hard. Clearly not a Wilder type puncher but it’s up there. Dropped 270lbs fat neck Ruiz with his first combination. In the rematch he made his feet go with single right hands in the first and twelfth round.

What did he do against the smaller man (in one sense lol) in the rematch? 12-0d him pretty much. The first fight was a fluke. AJ underestimated Ruiz went for the kill thinking he was easy work no name (and rightfully so as AJ dropped then landed a huge right hand).. he got clocked and paid the price. A rightful loss but a fluke nevertheless

Usyk isn’t just a smaller guy he’s the GOAT cruiser. There’s no shame in losing to such a decorated significantly more experienced boxer
