I remember watching Holyfield say that Foreman was the hardest hitting fighter he ever fought. I would have loved to see "Young George" fight Holyfield more than this.
We’re not just talking about 20 lbs of water weight Evander would be giving up. That was pure muscle which he in fact NEEDED to bang with those big heavyweights.
Yep I get that, but even with out that, I still see Holyfield being quick enough and nimble to shoot those punches in and get a decision. It wasn't punching power as such imo that won Holyfield the fight. Alex Stewart probably punched harder as I see it, he had George face swollen but he was also dropped and lost. Just my opinion mr m but against that specific opponent, a drop in weight would have still seen a same result
