Could Holyfield survive the 1-2 from 90's Foreman that KO'ed Moorer?

    Moorer had a below average chin at Heavyweight, Holyfield in his prime was one of the most durable Heavyweights of all time.

    I believe that answers the question.

    My thoughts exactly. At one point in his fight with Foreman, Holyfield took a flush right to the face that he (in a later interview) described as being the single hardest punch he ever took, the one that made him ask his corner if he had any teeth left. He didn't go down.

    We also saw Holyfield eat bombs from Tyson and Lewis without going down.

    How many big hitters does a guy need to be nailed by in order to be given the benefit of any doubt here?
