Ezzard Charles v Evander Holyfield At Heavyweight 15rds?

I think Evander's "natural" strength would tell enough for him to win.

 

Evander barely edges out an SD from superior workrate. Probably a disputed decision for a long time.

 

At light heavyweight, Charles defeats a pre-steroid Holyfield. At heavyweight, the steroid-era Hoyfield is too big and strong for Ezzard. So my answer to THIS post is that Holyfield wins. P4P I go with Ezzard.

If Ezzard were on steroids, who knows? Of course, who really knows anyway?!

 

I think Ez can outbox Holy for a UD.

 

Holy by decision but Charles has moment s of glory.

 

I think Holyfield stops him in 13, no disrespect to Ez. I just think Holy is a touch better

 

Gotta go with Holyfield. Better chin, more power. He would outwork Charles and probably stop him late.

 

Good to see you again!

 

I like Charles as a better overall fighter, but not a better heavyweight

 

If Moorer could outbox him and Czyz had success Charles could definitely get it done. I know Evander had a messed up shoulder against Moorer and heart issues but the later was due to his steroid use so if your gonna cheat to win and it ends up negativity affecting then I have no sympathy.

However in saying this Holyfield when on form was a beast great workrate, strong, solid power and a will to win like no other. Would make him a slight favourite maybe 55/45. A close fight but Evander lands the more powerful shots which swings it in his favour with the judges. Wouldn't be surprised if they split a series.

 

I think Holyfield sneaks by him at heavyweight.

 

The Holyfield of the Douglas or first bowe match vs the Charles of Walcott matches would be epic. I lean Holyfield but great matchup

 

1993 and on "Hulkyfield" bullies ezzard Charles all over the place.

He was freakishly strong. Pushed back everyone he ever fought besides foreman(and that was still a moderately sized evander). Pushed 230lb dokes around like a sled. Picked up Lennox Lewis on his shoulders.
Bullied mike Tyson and hasim rahman all over the place

 

Unless Holyfield fights a completely uncharacteristically tentative fight, I don't see this one being particularly close.
