    Physically Douglas was bigger, taller, heavier, maybe stronger. He wasn’t physically inferior to Holyfield unless you are talking about their conditioning before their fight?

    Douglas had big jiggly man tits while Holyfield might have been the most jacked heavyweight champ of all time. If that's not physically inferior I don't know what is.

    So was Old fat Foreman physically inferior to Holyfield as well when they fought?

    He absolutely was. He didn't lose because Holyfield was more skilled than he was.

    If you swapped their brains, the guy in Holyfield's body will always win. The difference in speed and reflexes was insurmountable.

    If the opponent managed to force their way into the same ring, then the champion is probably inferior in something!
