    Saw Evander Holyfield say that his plan was to fight Michael Moorer who was his mandatory and then Lennox Lewis for the Undisputed title. Obviously this didn't happen since both Holyfield and Lewis lost their next fights.

    How would this fight have gone in 1995. Would it be any different?

    Well Holyfield lost to Bowe in 95 and didn't look good in the fight, Lewis would probably stop that version of Holyfield.

    Holyfield was hot and cold at this point. Lewis wins more often than not imo.

    We've been through this before.

    Lewis wins an upset decision in '95. Holyfield KO's Lewis in the rematch.. take it to the bank. Just like Holyfield was going to KO Bowe before the fan man saved his ass.

    that's probably why Lewis hates Holyfield to this day. That's the one he got away with, and he knows it. he knows damn good and well Holyfield took it easy on him

    If it's the Bowe 3 version of Holyfield Lennox dominates him and stops him in the mid rounds.
