Holyfield vs. Frazier

Rules :

VADA Testing / No PED's
15 rounds
10 point must system
Ref - Mills Lane

I could see it going multiple ways.

 

This is tough and a helluva fight. As great as Holyfield was, Frazier's style is bad for Frazier. Holyfield gives Frazier some rocky rounds from early to middle rounds, and probably is more problematic for Frazier than Ali was. Frazier MD 15. Frazier's later rounds have always been priceless and almost untoppable.

 

Frazier clean UD. I wouldnt rule out a TKO either

 

Frazier clean UD certainly possible. Evander was never stopped in his prime.

 

Potentially one of the most entertaining fights ever. An all out war to be sure. Give the circumstances set by the thread starter I can see it going a variety of ways too.

 

Frazier by close decision. Frazier’s stamina edges him out this win.

 

Hes lucky he wasnt around when Frazier was either

 

I don't think anyone could stop Evander in his prime, but Frazier was that good, I respect your position.

 

If this is 90 holyfield vs 71 Frazier....
If it turns into a slugfest I could see Holyfield getting knocked out. The best case scenario for Holyfield is MD victory. My guess, Frazier by UD or knockout in the mid rounds.

 

Frazier points

 

With no PEDs Frazier wins a comfortable decision.

 

If you mean to say that testing for PEDs ensures that there are none used, then Frazier is a strong favorite.
If you meant it is VADA tested but maybe as in real life certain substances are not tested for or detected-& as in real life only The Real Deal used PEDs- I would make Frazier a slight favorite.

Trouble for Holyfield is when he was clean or mostly so & had excellent endurance & workrate, he still could not outwork peak Frazier.
And he both is inclined to brawl, & it would be near impossible to evade the pressure anyway.

When Holyfield was stronger he would have a chance due to tying Frazier up & the effects of anabolics.
Still he is unlikely to be able to KO Frazier absent near Formanesque power.
And he would not have the same stamina then.

 

Evander doesn't punch hard enough to keep Joe off, he gets worn down.

 

Holyfield's superior technical boxing wins out. He'd outjab Frazier and time Frazier with straight rights down the middle and not concede the centre of the ring. Holyfield hit harder than Ali and had better stamina so can stop Frazier coming forward. Holyfield matches Frazier's workrate but lands cleaner and first.

 

Dont kid yourself. First off Frazier isnt letting him do any of that. Holys not disciplined to do that all night with Joe even if he could. He'll want to stand and trade and that's when he gets beaten down
