    Are you implying that Johnson could possibly compare in strength to Holyfield.

    I don't think so.

    Johnson gets KTFO.

    What suggests Evander is on a different level of strength to Johnson? He was able to manhandle a notably strong 227 pound Jeffries, even going as far as bending Jeffries' arm out towards his back to flaunt his strength. He also had success clinching 207 pound McVea and Al Kaufman who were also noted for their impressive physical strength, so I don't see the evidence behind Holyfield being on a different level of strength.

    Ok, lol!

    Besides Holyfields strength, Holyfield could box.

    Holyfield: A man who medals in the olympics would be out boxed by a man in the early 1900s.

    I don't think so.

    Johnson gets KTFO!

    I am implying that Holyfield doesn’t have Heavyweight punching power.

    Under Jack's rules of the day, he'd get a decision.
