Holyfield's power, rank it 1-10

I go a solid 7.5, i think he's getting a lil underdone maybe.

 

Holyfield was not a big puncher. Every fighter thats faced him has said he doesnt hit very hard, but he is probably one of the most accurate punchers ever as a heavyweight. He knows where to hit guys right on the button. Hes hurt some iron chinned fighters because of his accuracy. Every fighter has a spot where they can be hurt, and Holyfield was always great at finding it. I would rate his power as a heavy around 6 or 7.

 

I remember Tyson saying something like "It wasn't that he hit me that hard, just so damn often."

 

6,5 - 7

 

7.0

 

Holyfield had excellent power. He conserved it well. He lifted 250 lb. Savarese up and off of his feet with a left hook. Awesome. This when Holyfield was well over 40 years of age. He just now dropped 260 lb. Botha like a sack of potato's with a right hand. Lewis, who said Holyfield had the hardest left hook to the body that he'd ever felt, knew better than to try and bang Holyfield out. If Foreman is a 10 I'd give Holyfield an 8.0 or 8.5 rating.
