    He bounced Moorer off the canvas like a basketball in the 2nd Holyfield-Moorer fight, and he ripped Stewarts face to pieces in the first Stewart fight.. Holyfield just looked awful against Czyz but Holyfield seemed to bring it in the fights that he needed too.. He dropped the iron jawed Mercer, Dropped Bowe with one shot and beat Tyson all over the ring.. As far as Holmes, Larry other then the Tyson fight was a stout cat you could drop him but he was going to rise and more the likely get you back.. I see the Holyfield of the 2nd Bowe fight having better power then the one that fought Holmes, he was a stronger man at that point.. Either way though I would favor the lighter hitting Holyfield against Norton as well I have respect for Kenny I just feel Evander was better..

    Great match-up. I'd pick evander to win by decision based on superior workrate and combination punching. He also was more skilled overall than norton and had a better chin.

    Kenny would definitely give him a very tough fight but I just couldn't see him winning, not against a prime evander anyway.

    Since the Holy man was no real banger in his prime, but more so technically skilled, its a safe bet this dream fight with Norton see's 12 or 15 rds...............

    Holy gets the nod by the judges...:yep:hi:
