    Anyone have any opinions on this fight? I know the styles wouldn't make for such a good fight, but the names alone!!

    I'd go for Holyfield by mid round stoppage.

    He had the physical tools and boxing skills to deal with Jones's speed and movement. And he most certainly had the power to take him out.

    Holyfield as a Cruiserweight was unbeatable.
    IMO, Greatest Cruiser of all-Time.

    Holyfield by K.O. ala Glen Johnson over a Cruiser Roy.

    No contest. Holyfield walks down Jones and beats him down, Have you ever see RJJ up close? He is not a big guy, not even a big little guy.

    Could PBF beat Bob Foster?
    Could Duran beat Micheal Spinks?
    Could SRL beat Rocky Marciano?

    Crazy thread.

    Yo MGUNZ - None of those pairs you listed are even in the same weight division... of course you know this, but didn't RJJ fight at heavyweight, all be it once... so it's not like the size difference was as big as the examples you give.

    And are these forums not about topics that interest you? This interested me and i wanted to get the opinion of my fellow fight fans. If you think it's a 'crazy thread' then you don't have to post on it... although i appreciate your input on a Holyfield win...
