Is Holyfield the only debuting LHW in history who would give Lewis fits?

    The James Toney who fought Holyfield could give a younger, more aggressive Lewis a good fight. He wouldn't win but he could Make Lewis look bad at times.

    My only caveat to this is that Holyfield was 2.5" taller, had 5" in reach on Charles and took a better punch .. that does matter when moving up against bigger men .. on the other hand Charles had so many more fights the wear and tear on him had to show up as well .. Both were amazing fighters.
