Evander Holyfield from the second Bowe fight vs George Foreman from the Norton fight. Who wins and how?
How about prime undefeated Holyfield vs prime undefeated Foreman? <<I say Foreman by late tko cause Foreman is a proven puncher and i think Foreman would have tko Holyfield.
Well tbh I thought Holyfield from the second Bowe fight was better than the undefeated version of Holyfield. He was about 12 lbs of muscle heavier and was able to both stick and move and slug with Bowe, which he hadn't been able to do in their first meeting. Feel free to think of the best (ie prime) version of Holy.
If anybody pick a prime undefeated Holyfield to beat a prime Foreman need to watch prime Holyfield vs a 41 year old Foreman. Sure Holyfield won the fight but it was close and at the end of the round Holyfield was like running away didn't want to trade with Foreman again cause he felt Foreman power. Holyfield was very very lucky that wasn't a prime undefeated beast Foreman.
Nah Holyfield as undefeated was a better version fighter. Remember Holyfield in that rematch beat an out of shape 246 pounds Bowe in which Holyfield barely won it. I thought the rematch was a draw in all honesty but i guess the judges gave it to Holyfield to have a rubbermatch in which 2 years later it happen.
Well it's 9-2 so far, pretty lopsided. At first, I was surprised one person actually picked Foreman on points! But with Holyfield's chin, heart, and an assumed stick-and-move gameplan, Foreman might hurt him, repeatedly at that, but Holyfield could feasibly make it to the final bell anyway.
Holyfield has a great chin, Foreman wouldn't stop him. I could see a prime Evander wearing the prime Foreman down and stopping him like Ali did. Prime Foreman was not exactly built to last to the later rounds. He'd burn out banging on Holyfield's granite chin.
Your not serious atsch Frazier would be too much for Holyfield & look what happened to Frazier... no way Holy takes Foreman`s power, get your ass off planet pluto & back to reality mate.
Holyfield at his ABSOLUTE best beats a young Foreman who, if he didn't get you, was quite vulnerable to running out of gas. Holyfield's chin is better than Fraziers, no question. The only thing that makes me reconsider this is the OP specified Holyfield from the SECOND Bowe fight, which I didn't notice when I first posted. I'm not sure that's the absolutely best version of Holyfield. Foreman does not stop a prime Holyfield, in my view. Holyfield's chin in his prime is on a par with Ali's, not Frazier's and certainly not Norton's.
Holyfield barely got by a 41 years old Foreman lol. What makes you think Holyfield would beat a prime young Foreman who destroyed both Norton and Frazier? Holyfield got a great chin no doubt but hey Tyson got a great chin until he met Dougles. But seriously a prime young undefeated Foreman tko a prime Holyfield.
I voted or a Foreman stoppage myself, but I wouldn't go that far. Holyfield has the heart, chin, and gas tank to potentially make it to the final bell, and the ability to quickly recover from being hurt by big George.
