At 45y/o, Big George created history by taking a portion of the H/W title from Michael Moorer... basically, via one concussive blow, after the medium punishment having been dished out through the course of the fight. Holyfield, at 46y/o, still resembles a more than handy H/W, both physically and effectively. Granted, Val is not a tap-dancer.... yet Holy DID look very mobile for his age. Pitted against one another, this might be something more than viewable.... perhaps more so than the majority of recent H/W offerings. George at 45 vs Holyfield at 46..... Whats the opinions??? Holyfield for mine. UD.12
Hmm, I think Holy edges it, he is way past his best, but that is still way better than 9/10 fighters at h/w
George. He had the power to keep Holy off him. I don't think he would stop him, but I think he hurt him enough to get a UD.
Fair enough... If Holy used caution, which would be rare anyway, do you see a boring points win going to Holy?? Not unlike the result of the Val fight... albeit, with a well judged decision..
94 George would plea-bargain down to manslaghter or reckless endangerment w/credit for time served. He can afford good lawyers. OJ was a chump. :deal
Definitely Foreman. The prime Holy edged him out about 8-4 if I remember. That Foreman would kill the Holyfield who faced Valuev.
Foreman by knockout here too... Much more capable of letting his hands go than Holyfield (he managed 50 punches a round against the mobile Moorer, Holyfield just around 16 against the highly immobile Valuev). The heavier puncher. Much less wear & tear than Holyfield has, so he'd be able to endure more punishment. Holyfield could try to box 'n' move against him I suppose but Foreman's heavier shots and busier work would see him win that battle too. At best for Holyfield it would be a wide points loss...a bit Riddick Bowe vs Larry Donald, if you've ever seen that fight.
