Holmes in a fight that could be as good as his one with Norton!

Holmes by decision, but it would be very entertaining and competitive. Hoylfield was smart and skilled but would sometimes turn his brain off. Kind of a jack of all trades, master of none fighter and that would be a problem going up against Holmes whose skill set is focused on only a handful of things, but he's pretty damn good at those things.

Holyfield isn't knocking him out, and Holmes wouldn't allow it to become a slug fest or a war. Thus it would end up being a boxing match where Holmes has multiple advantages (reach, speed, defense, superior jab). Holmes could even use his legs to frustrate Hoylfield or counter him. I get the impression Holmes would always be at least a round ahead and would frustrate ol Evan.

I wonder whether prime Holmes would fight a different, less intelligent fight.

In any case, based on Holmes's performance in real life, I'd still pick him.

Good question. He could fight a total different fight.
