    But he won't be in that kind of condition. Not for a former cruiser he won't be.

    Best for best Holyfield is simply a better fighter, half a level above.

    Tim had the talent but the peak version that beats Holyfield is an extrapolation of what he could have been if he'd kept in shape and focussed, not what he ever actually was. Evander proved himself time and again while Tim, sadly, left questions unanswered. Far too many to pick him over Holyfield.

    But the thread is peak for peak, so I'm assuming it's the best version of Tim.

    That's it in a nutshell Eddie. Despite reasonable success Tim never realized nor proved his full potential.
