1990 Holyfield vs current Anthony Joshua

Holyfield stops AJ.

 

For me a peak, juiced up Holyfield stops both Wilder and AJ, and for me beats Usyk. I'd give him a solid chance against Fury (although 2015 Fury may win a close fight imo).

 

Holy KO in about 7 rnds

 

Holyfield was still fairly light in 1990 and still in the process of bulking up, Holyfield liked to exchange punches and get into wars vs the likes of Dokes, Cooper, Stewart, in which he was considerably hurt in all those fights.

Logically Holyfield is the better fighter and should win, but exchanging punches with the much bigger fighter who's an even bigger puncher than the likes of Bowe is dangerous for Holyfield. And possibly Joshua could pull it off with Holyfield being too brave for his own good.

But I'll go with Holyfield by decision or late TKO his extra mental toughness and durability would be the key overall I believe.

 

PS I just read the title again no way current Joshua stands a chance vs Holyfield.

 

Holyfield makes him quit by rounds 4 or 5

 

joshua = coma

 

Yes, I totally agree. No way Holyfiled would win by KO like people say. For sure AJ would quit before.

 

So let me get this straight. A bigger, stronger & more experienced Holyfield than the one in 1990 went 1-5 against super heavies Bowe and Lewis, arguably 0-5 if it were not for the fan man....but somehow people in this thread think he's going to manhandle an even bigger super heavy who hits harder than Bowe or Lewis and who also has more experience at heavyweight than Holyfield did in 1990.

The Holyfield delusion in this thread is unreal. The man gets flattened by Joshua whether he is juiced up or not.

 

Holy whoops him.

 

Joshuas chin to me is considerably worse than Bowe's(which is overrated imo) and his stamina is nowhere close. If they exchange joshua gasses out and crumbles in 6.
Holyfiwld drowns him

 

Holyfield with a brutal ko.

 

AJ would be a live dog but I think Holyfield wins 9/10 times.
