    Holyfield could drop anyone because of his timing. He's a great counter-puncher. I'd give his power a 6 or so.

    6 or 7.. He could hurt about anyone he fought, but he didn't have that one punch KO power..

    About 6.5. His timing and placement is what gave him good results when he landed.

    Agree with my fellow posters here. He did stop Mercer with a bodyshot 2.

    He had speed, leverage, great timing, and commitment behind that power. It's hard to separate one factor out in the equation. All told, I'd give him an 7. At least.

    He had good pop. Not a one punch puncher though. And not up there with the real hard punchers. A six.
