    Talking prime for prime?

    1.Holmes easily outpoints Bugner or stops him late.
    2. Lyle has at least a 30-50% chance of catching Norton early and stopping him, if not, Norton wins a decision or stops him late
    3. Foreman KO’s Bugner within 6
    4. Foreman KO’s Quarry within 6
    5. Pick em. Maybe Bugner by split decision that Young actually wins?
    6. I wrote volumes on this one on another thread. Prime Holmes was head and shoulders above any version of Frazier. Easy decision or late TKO for Holmes…. Also a small chance that Holnes nail him with a right hand and finishes him early. (I love how all these people pick Frazier to KO a man who was only KOed once in his whole career and that was after a 2 year retirement to a prime Mike Tyson.) Frazier is not KOing prime Holmes.
