    1971 Frazier.

    Probably on points.

    But it'd be close.
     
  4. joe frazier in his prime by late tko. bert cooper did hurt holyfield, joe would finish evander.
    joe had the stamina, the power, the heart, the chin to take the evander´s blows. holyfield would give him a war, but finally he would get tko

    Cant see it being a stoppage - But the FOTC Frazier would beat the best version of Holyfield on points

    It would be a war but Frazier would be too much ... The Frazier of Quarry 1 - Ali 1 was a nasty beast ... he'd make Evander stand his ground and fight him and Holyfield would suffer a terrific beating ..

    1971-1973 PRIME Frazier stops 1991-1993 PRIME Holyfield, with teh body-attack IMO, cos Vander Only has a tiny 32" waist!!


    Foreman Hoooooooook!! :hat

    Exactly as I see it. It would be a battle royal for seven rounds or so,until Evander would succumb to Joe's relentless pressure.

    Holyfield by late TKO.
    Or stoppage due to swelling or cuts caused by Holyfield's sneaky headbutts.

    COMPARISON:


    Speed: Holyfield
    Defense: Holyfield (prime Holy was very elusive)
    Offense: Tie
    Power: Frazier
    Stamina: Tie
    Chin: Holyfield


    This is actually a really close fight and would probably be very exciting. I could realistically see either winning a SD.

    Frazier by decision and it'd be close

    Question marks, especially the stamina one. Frazier simply had better stamina.
