Does Holyfield go 4-0 with the heavies in this photo with him?

Can you imagine an heavyweight version of Tommy Hearns??

 

Wilder could probably have become one if he had Emanuel in his corner.

 

Ali beats Holyfield over 15.
Norton vs. Holyfield is a toss-up
Light heavy Hearns gets stopped in the fifth or sixth.
Floyd Patterson gets stopped around the 10th or 11th, similar to Dokes.
Joe Frazier wins a 15-round decision.

 

Ali all day long lol. Frazier would prevail in a pretty grueling encounter. Norton is close to 50-50 and he'd beat Patterson IMO.

 

As tough and good on the inside as Holyfield was he was not on the level of Frazier, Holyfield was not close to the level of Ali jab or speed wise, Frazier has no trouble getting inside and luring Holyfield into an inside brawl in which he hurts Holyfield worse than Bowe ever did, the famous round 10 where after Bowe lets up and Holyfield gets to speak his piece before the bell...Frazier never gives Holyfield that chance, in a 15 Frazier by stoppage around 11-13

 

He would?

 

My feeling precisely.

 

Perhaps Evander could get Eugenia Williams as a judge?lol

 

Pretty much how I see it. Although, I would lean slightly towards Norton and I do think Holyfield/Patterson could be quite interesting, too.

 

Frazier v Holyfield would be a great watch. I think prime Frazier will win a UD

 

Prime Holyfield beats them all with possible exception of a young Ali who can dance and stay away. I just think however Ali never fought someone that strong and fast who was also skilled and determined and tough as nails.

 

I don't know that I agree. Frazier is an attrition fighter who gets inside, breaks guys down, never lets up. Holyfield is more durable and probably thinks that kind of fight sounds like a good time. I could see Holyfield taking a decision over Frazier in a Thrilla type battle that leaves both of them half dead.

Norton though? The guy who fought Ali the first time or the guy who fought Holmes might well pull off a decision against Holyfield.

Patterson? Yeah, he's getting stomped at some point.

Ali? Pre-exile Ali takes an easy decision.
