    Prime Harry Greb, vs Holyield of the first Moorer fight. Can the windmill win the vaunted 90's lineal championship?

    Against lazy overrated Moorer yes. Holyfield caves his world in.

    Didn't Holyfield have something wrong with his rotator cuff in this fight? Forgive me if I'm wrong

    Greb might be able to take advantage of that and outwork what should've been the stronger man

    Yes Greb would take advantage of this slowed down Holy and get himself a decision win.

    I think he had heart problems and a shoulder issue. He really looked like an old man. I'm not sure if he should be cut slack for ****ing himself up with PEDs more than people who put up bad performances by being unfocused and not getting in shape.

    That Holyfield was very lethargic and looked very much out of it. Greb might very well pull out a decision

    Agreed. And he looked horrible. Not sure he could have kept up with Greb.

    Please, even that version of Holyfield likely wins. Swarming a great counter puncher, inside fighter who puts combos together.... Not the best idea. Holyfield wins a decision or gets a TKO

    Not sure how you guys can so confidently pick a 160 middleweight that none of you ever saw fight over a proven multiple time Heavyweight Champion? Whatever guys.

    I've never seen greb fight, none of us have, I've seen him spar some one I dont even know the name of. I'm confident holyfield makes short work of him, especially the bulked up roided version of holyfield that just made Tyson fight on the back foot before knocking him out.

    We've seen the guys Greb beat. He never drew the color line. He beat a lot of heavyweights. It is not a stretch to think he could beat a depleted Holyfield.
