Holyfield would have no chance against that Ali. I am a guy who thinks heavyweight Evander is overrated anyway but he has no particular skills that bother that version of Ali. Tyson had skills that could bother anyone. I don't think Mike would beat Ali but he has a considerably better chance than Holyfield.
Holy had a much better chance and would go the distance, but would lose decisively. Mike would get stopped in 12 at the latest imo.
Probably Tyson based on styles and power, especially early on. 92 Holy is tough but he’d get badly out jabbed. I think the Quawi 1 version of Holyfield gives Ali hell throughout the entire fight.
Holyfield. He's more flexible than Tyson. He could mix it up between boxing and, let's say, pressure. Always pulling out something new. But he also had a certain reliable left hook that he saved up just for special occasions. I think '67 Ali might see that one. Ali decision. Rematch in '71 goes to Holyield, of course.. Ali staggered a bit.
Tyson would most likely KO Ali. Evander was too suspect to a jab and unintelligent to beat Muhammad in my books- I think he’d look a little lost but game. It’s possible Young or Charles and Walcott can steal a win off Evander- Moore for a certainty in my opinion but those guys would all be mince against say Frazier? Who Evander would most likely beat up and stop.
Yeah,at that time frame, Holyfield labored with two genuine fossils for 24 rounds, could not put a dent in them and they made him look bad at times in their fights.... .......that was no domination........ Bert Cooper debacle........and then a green Bowe beat the living stuffing out of Holyfield................Holyfield does not have a chance in hell to beat a boxing not slugging Ali with legs, fact.
This. Tyson would stand a better chance out of himself and Holyfield but would ultimately fall short of actually beating prime Ali.
