    I think you hit it on the head. If Holy can just stay on track...yes.

    Prime George Foreman fought like he was going to a fire, his foot was on the gas pedal all the time, looking to take an opponents head off. Evander Holyfield was a great counterpuncher, but he would not be fighting the bald smiling flabby Grill selling fighter who returned to action in 1987. The prime 1973 version of George smothered an opponent into oblivion with his wild thudding punches that would not let an opponent get set. The thing going for Holyfield was his ability to take a punch, and his stamina, but he would have had to hang in their for dear life early on.
