Non ATG heavies who would stylistically be a tough match up for ATG heavies

Tim Witherspoon for both Lewis and Holyfield.

Against Lewis. At 6'3.5" Witherspoon was big enough not to be in big physical disadvantage against 6'5" Lewis. Witherspoon also had very good jab and enormous right hand - two things Lewis didn't like most in the ring. Plus Tim wasn't slow, had good skills and sturdy chin. I think his jab would give Lewis a lot of troubles from the very beginning and if Witherspoon lands that right hand at some point of the fight - it would be over.

Against Holyfield Witherspoon would be a bigger and stronger man and he had good enough skills, work rate and ring IQ not to let Holyfield compensate his physical disadvantages with those parts of the game. I'm not saying Witherspoon would definitely beat Holyfield, I'd actually favour Holy slightly over him, but the fight would be very hard and physically exhausting for Holyfield and he would took a lot of damage in it.

 

Oliver McCall for Wlad.

 

Tony Tucker for Foreman.

 

the old one?

 

There's a bunch I could name but to keep it fun, I'll only list one:

Cleveland Williams vs. Wlad Klitschko

 

I was thinking young Foreman. There's too many to name that could trouble Old Foreman tbh.

 

Ken Norton v Ezzard Charles/Gene Tunney.

Ken would stand an excellent chance against both men.

 

James Broad v Gene Tunney
Tony Tubbs v Jack Dempsey
David Bey v Jack Sharkey
Pinklon Thomas v Joe Louis
Mike Dokes v Rocky Marciano

 

Actually hate all your picks…don’t think any of the betters lose. But to each their own

Marciano v James Toney I think James is the right kind of crazy with the right type of chin and style n pacing to be able to give Marciano fits.

Ezzard Charles v Tyson think Charles at his peak could win this one if he survives past 6. He had an excellent chin the right style to win

Max Baer v Wlad…this is the most interesting one. Def favor Wlad but I could c Max getting the upset

 

Famously Ken Norton!
