    The greener Holyfield of his best 190lbs days vs a focused “prime” Eddie looking for a belt… how’s it go? - If Eddie being a 175lber worries anybody just remember he went up to fight Snipes because 175lbs was getting tough so I think in the off season he’d be a small - medium cruiser anyway.

    Muhammad was pretty bad vs Snipes though he was out of shape and lost a wide decision, the only reason it was a split decision is because one judge got the names mixed up. The judge even admitted his error after the fight but they refused to change the scorecard and just left it as it was.

    As for this fight Holyfield would outwork Muhammad and win a decision, Muhammad had a pretty sturdy chin so i don't see a stoppage. But i just see Holyfield being too active for Muhammad who wouldn't be able to live with Holyfield's aggression and workrate especially in the later rounds.

    It ain’t the fat version from the Snipes bout it’s the 175lbs version coming up, tell you the truth that bout didn’t have a winner IMO Snipes ran all night from a “little” guy lol he should’ve been DQ’d for not engaging.

    anywhere above 175 Holyfied wins this. Eddie didn't carry CW weight well. Remember he was at 160 lbs the first part of his career.

    Holyfield is waaaay to busy to lose to Eddie. I'd say Eddie would have to hang on to keep from being stopped

    I agree with the majority opinion. Holyfield by UD

    A more entertaining fight would be Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Holyfield at 190
