    Which of these fighters would be the best dream match opponent for Holyfield. I think it's between Quarry & Frazier due to the non-stop action that will likely take place.

    Frazier, I’d also give an honorary mention to Dempsey

    Joe Fraizer, we've already seen a glimpse of what it would look like with the Dwight Muhammad Qawi fight at cruiserweight

    Frazier...Frazier wins in too especially if Evander stays in the pocket with him from the get go. If that's the case Evander gets rescued late.

    Out of everyone on the list, I picked Fraizer.

    I want to see a fantasy matchup with Cruiserweight Holyfield though. I think Cruiserweight Holyfield vs Uysk, Haye, and Toney circa the Jirov fight would all be amazing fights.
