    I give Evander a chance. He has the versatility and the durability and so with a superior corner and smart fight plan, I give him the edge

    Hopefully, he can find the right weight to come in at

    Late tko or points

    Holyfield have the tools to outbox any version of foreman....Agaisnt a prime foreman, i believe he would stay outside, use his faster hands and boxing skills to get off first and avoid Foreman's power shots......Atleast until he decide to roar inside and try to outslug Big George....From then on, Holyfield get sparked.

    If Evander is winning this, then he should have shown much more against old Foreman!

    What a fight it would be, I’m pretty sure Foreman ends up getting his man here but he may be down on the cards or survive a mini crisis during the fight. Foreman inside 8

    Foreman within four. Old man Foreman would have knocked him out had he went all out in that fourth round

    Truth be told they really are two different fighters to watch and should be judged differently- Though I still believe Evander cannot win this bout.

    Old Foreman stood the better chance.

    Young Foreman was there to be hit. The Holyfield of the second Bowe fight gives no ground to young Foreman, except power.
    I'll take the more complete fighter, who was Holyfield.

    Foreman KO’s or stops him late because Holyfield had the tendancy to get drawn into a dog fight and I think Foreman could take Holyfield’s power, but when Foreman lands that is it and he would land in a slug fest because Forman was good in slugfests, I see Holyfield landing more throughout the fight, but Foreman taking them and I think it’s inevitable that Foreman lands a big punch on Holyfield and knocking him out and with the extra speed that young Foreman had, he would certainly catch Holyfield more often therefore more chance of him winning, and let’s not forget, old Foreman had his moments against Holyfield and was able to land on him
    You are all imagining Holyfield boxing Foreman, but Holyfield always got drawn into wars when he didn’t need to and it would be the same here, especially with Foreman going at Holyfield

    Prime Foreman would have really hurt Holyfield. The old Version did good enough, the young one has him rocking and rolling early. It would be like the Smokin Bert Cooper Kd x 10.
