He was pretty textbook, in my opinion. He could be classified as a boxer-puncher, I guess, but I wouldn't really classify him as that.
Aggressive boxer-puncher who used footwork more than upperbody movement to set up his counters Favoured combinations over single shots & was a genuine 2 handed puncher with good balance & variety Defensively not too good but blessed with insane toughness & a fierce combative nature Not a dirty fighter but he was well versed in boxing's dark arts & couldn't be bullied, if anyone tried to rough up Holy he was able to respond in kind
When did Holyfield land , let alone threw a right hand? I consider him a 1 handed fighter . I consider him a brawler 2 , and like almost every other brawler he had some boxing and counter punching ability , but he was a brawler 1st&4most
We try to label boxers in easy categories. Holyfield was Holyfield, a boxer that like any other did some things well and some not so well.
Against d brazylyn Rodriguez Holy knocked him out with a single right hand, d same shot also stopped Qawi & Douglas He also landed a peach of a right hand on Tyson in d 10th round of their first fight
