    Holyfield might not have been on roids at that point in his career so have to give Haye a slight chance of a points win but to be honest I would expect Holyfield to win by late TKO.

    Reading this thread title I thought you meant now but in their primes @ CW? Holy by ko/tko is the only way to go imo.

    Holyfiled would destroy him.
    Holyfield is all around better. Haye has more power, but everything else is all Holyfield. Plus Holyfiled can hurt Haye more then Haye can hurt Holyfield.

    Holyfield by stoppage.

    Holyfield by KO. Evander is quicker, better technically, has superior stamina and workrate. Only advantage Haye has is power and even that is negated by Holyfield's durability. Haye would be lucky to last 6 rounds.

    Holyfield at that time is what makes Holyfield a legend today. No doubt about it, Holyfield destroys Haye, making Haye prefer to be KTFO by Thompson again instead!!

    I doubt Haye could make 15 rounds vs prime Evander who was even faster and hit a lot harder back then

    Haye would be riding on punch and physical gifts alone

    Even if Haye could land one lucky punch, Holyfield's chin was A-class!! Can't say that about A-Farce...

    ah a one off match is too hard to say, especially with hayes chin issues and the amount of hate he gets.

    but what i will say is this. put them in the ring with each other, prime for prime, 10 times and there won't be much difference between the number of victories.
