    Holyfield could out box Old Foreman, but how would he fair if they fought in their primes?

    I lean towards Foreman but it could be a repeat of Holyfield vs Tyson I

    I like george in this fight by stoppage
    George had some underrated, sneaky skills that gets overlooked

    Be tough though

    Holyfield does an Ali/Jimmy Young on any version of Foreman.

    Holyfield was very sneaky and versatile. Foreman in his prime could get outboxed and Holyfield was better than Jimmy Young.

    I'd back Holyfield if he outboxes Foreman and stays on the backfoot using his footwork which I think he would if this fight had actually happened. If Holyfield tries to slug it out with prime George then Holyfield is going to sleep.
