    Foreman would introduce power to Holyfield that he didnt know existed. George, stoppage.

    True that. My bad. My opinion is no more right or any better.

    Wouldve been a great fight in their primes, thats for sure.

    I don’t think you understand. Holyfield is an aggressive counter puncher even in his most defensive minded state. Jimmy young’s entire style is based on defence. In that aspect alone, young has holy beat. and even he barely survived against a foreman whose suffering from heatstroke. Holyfield doesn’t have the same stylistic matchup, nor does He have the same circumstances that allowed young to beat foreman.
