You're not the only one who thinks Foreman could get stopped here in fact I think it's a real possibility, young Foreman did not have the defence or caution that the old one did George was perhaps too confident in his younger days that all he needed was his power and against a certain level of opponent that was true but he discovered against Ali,, Young and almost Lyle you need more than just power and aggression. Holyfield no doubt gets hit here and hurt more than once but he weathers the storm and sticks to his boxing and counterpunching GF going down from punches or sheer exhaustion in the latter rounds would be my prediction.
Foreman either KOs him or Holyfield survives multiple rocky rounds and stops Foreman late just like Ali did, and just like Jimmy Young almost did. I'll go with the latter. Holyfield could box, had decent head movement and was an excellent counter puncher.
Agreed. Evanders, heart, durability, conditioning and precision punching ability could definitely expose George’s pour defense and late round fatigue
Your just not knowledgeable at all. You pick your favorites then just try an make a case for them over and over again like a broken record. Judging by your little cartoon I was right about your age
As already said, and it seems to be the most realistic outcome. Holyfield gets caught up in a slugfest and big George lands flush a couple of times. I would fancy Evander late on but just can’t see him not wanting to exchange early on. Tremendous fighters and sad to see Evander still trying to battle at 58.
Holyfield from the first bowe fight could take serious heat and come back with an answer. 90s conditioning sees him through for a clear decision at worst
I don't mind banter. But you just come out of the gate making responses your way or the highway and you always seem to think the modern fighter is better adleast from the posts I've seen. Let's take the Holy Foreman thread here. You disregard where I said if this is what gramps Foreman could do. Now wasn't gramps Foreman slower than prime version? IMO he was. Now also IMO once Holy gets banged on the side of the head he gets angry and wants to brawl. To me that's suicide against a prime George. Now that's my opinion and I state it that way. Not you. You just come out and say we'll hes too slow so Holy takes him likes it's fact. You show no humbleness whatsoever and come across as a know it all constantly. That's not bantering my man that's being a hard headed know it all.
Are you trying to sell the idea that Bowe had good defense? Because he definitely didn't, he just faced terrible competition across his career and had decent enough chin to sustain unnecessary beating. Holyfield was a great boxer, but far lesser boxers landed on Bowe. Foreman would also land of Bowe and I suspect he'd not see the ending of this fight.
You can't seriously think all one needs to do is "survive and wait for Foreman to gas". If it was that simple multiple people would've done it. Regarding your durability comment, Chuvalo was probably the most durable fighter of all time. Ask him how far that got him against Foreman.
Foreman wins. Either he beats Holyfield in the ring, or the perfect PED testing regimen in place for all fantasy fights catches the chemicals in Holyfield's body, and the Classic fantasy fight sanctioning body overturns any Holyfield victory. Foreman by KO or DQ.
