If Holyfield Were In The FOTC, Against Ali?

Meanwhile, I had realised that this was causing some comprehension problems and posted this:

I think our friend Ney misreads my post. I am not claiming he was a great puncher. Holy did have good power though.

 

He didn’t.

 

Has someone said Marciano is an attrition puncher yet? I feel like that’s part of Classic Forum Bingo anytime power comes up.

 

This.

 

Holyfield at heavyweight was 27-10-2 with one NC. Thats 40 fights and he registered 16 ko's
That's a 40% ko ratio.....that is not a big puncher

 

I heard of a guy that knocked out 10 10 year olds one after the other. He must have been a huge puncher, 100% KO record.

 

Who's been talking about me?

 

I like Ali by decision ... even that Ali had better stamina and guile ....

 

Holyfield would be the best counter puncher Ali ever faced, I think Holyfield could take Bonavena but not Frazier

Holyfield never went to the body like Frazier, not even close and in a lot of ways I feel like Frazier's body shots in FOTC were more effective than Foreman's in the rumble, and Ali at this point still never showed susceptibility to right hands

It's FOTC but Ali doesn't get near as hurt and never gets floored, I think Holyfield would give a better performance than Patterson though, those moments when Patterson was cautious/hesitant Holyfield would pop off but more often than not Ali would come out of it with more points
