    If Holyfield was 6'5 or 6'6 and Roided into Evan Fields, sure, but at 6'2, he isn't beating a damn thing when it comes to Joshua, whether he is Evan Fields, or not.

    All of a sudden Joshua is china chinned? Grade A British glass? :lol: GTFOOH with that nonsense. Joshua would beat any version of Holyfield. Can't believe how much Holyfield gets over rated. Holyfield never beat a top level guy when they were at their best. That is a fact.

    I was a huge Holyfield fan. That has been tempered by the obvious PED usage, but even a 92 roided up Evander is a much smaller man than AJ and would have to work considerably hard to get inside and land his shots. This isn't a given.

    Same goes for Tyson, only more so as Mike had pretty much given up on his head movement and under/over attack style by the early 90s.

    Although I rate Bowe below both of them, I think he has the best shot and think that would be a spectacular slugfest.

    Holyfield would be stuck behind Joshuas jab for 12 rounds.

    I disagree. Joshua probably picks Holyfield apart with jabs and straight rights. And it's not like Holyfield would be able to bully AJ on the inside.

    Lol!!!! Cheat to beat Czyz. If you actually do some homework and listen to Bobby Czyz telling The Ref why he’s quitting he says “My Back is out” and then he comes up with the my eyes are burning excuse after arguing with his cornerman between rounds. You can clearly hear his cornerman saying “it’s not your back it’s your eyes if I say it’s your eyes it’s your eyes” Czyz went in to actor mode in the interview. I was in the garden that night and have watched the card countless times.

    So since Holyfield is so overrated I’d love to hear how he “lucked” in to being the Undisputed Cruiserweight Champ and a 4 time Heavyweight Champion!?? I’ll wait, thanks

    Holyfield was the leanest heavyweight I ever seen. He beat Bowe, and he definitely would beat Joshua. He was too fast, too tough, too skilled, and had too much stamina for the juiced up bodybuilder. Lewis was lucky he didn't fight him before 1996. ATG heavyweight.

    If you honestly think Holyfield was about to lose to Czyz then you’re even more moronic then I already assume.

    Also Czyz said NOTHING about his eyes until his trainer said, “it’s your eyes”

    I don’t think that at all because as I Just told U i think Czyz was full of crap and his eyes were just fine

    Holyfield had a losing record against the top level opponents he fought.

    If I would have to bet I would put my money on a modern champ

    AJ is much better defensively than Holy and his reach and jab would bother Holy the same way Lewis`s did. I feel AJ is much better than the slow version of Bowe that Holy fought in `92.

    I feel Holy would have a better chance against Fury and Wilder though, I wouldn`t say it`s a modern thing because I feel AJ is better than modern heavies.
