Holyfield in the Louis era

The only guy to stop Braddock sans a stoppage based on a cut from a prior fight was prime Joe Louis. Holyfield was mostly a point fighter at HW. So I don't know where you get that idea.

 

He would beat everybody who is not Louis.

Versus Louis he goes 1-2 in a trilogy of life and death battles for the ages.

 

Joe Louis looked like he had his feet stuck in cement.

Holyfield wins unless he gets caught with a bomb

 

with equipment and food of that era?, probably as good or less than ezzard charles and skinny

 

On one hand he had the heart, chin and the athletic genetics to be a good fighter in any era. On the other he wouldn’t have the luxury of an ideal training setting. Possibly not as good of management. And in all honesty, PED’s. So therefore I don’t know how far he’d go.

 

You said he fights from 1935-1950 leaving me to assume that this wasn’t just a Time Machine job for one night only

 

In that case he’d likely do well but I’m still not prepared to say that he’d dominate

 

It's difficult to say for sure how a 190 lb Vander would fare vs. some of the bigger Louis opponents like Simon & Buddy, given that we only ever saw the 200+ lb version vs. those size fighters.

 

I think Evander beats everybody but Joe Louis. As others have said, I also see him as #2 in that time frame.
