    I think Holyfield outworks him, and makes it more of a fight than Tubbs wants. Tubbs keeps it close but Holyfield 8-4 in rounds....ooopppssss I see 15 rounds. Not sure if Tubbs can do 15? Or Evander as a HW?

    Over 15 Holyfield even wider 10-5 or stops Tubbs late

    Prime for prime Tubbs gives Holy a tough fight ,he probably had the fastest hands of all the alphabet boys. Plus he could be a tough fella .He d get a good few round s in the bank for at least the first half of the fight. But we're talking about PRIME Holy field who's fighting heart wouldn't be denied. He'd gradually fight his way in and attack Tubbs to head and body .Tony feel's the pressure Mounting as Holy ramps up the attack. He'll visibly wilt as the fight reaches the double digits. A ferocious attack from Evander has a fatigued Tubbs heading for the floor in the 10th round ,But Holy doesn't get a chance to follow up as the refs calling it over .Holy just to much for TNT .

    Holyfield by decision.

    He would outwork Tubbs.

    Tubbs did 15 rounds twice. He can go the distance.

    tubbs needs the night of his life to beat holyfield .. holyfield just needs to be holyfield to win .. he'd be bouncing on the balls of his feet .. ripping hooks off tubbs head .. he'd use his jab to make tubbs have to reset his move and by then holys bouncing shots off him ..I think holy is all wrong for tubbs .. he wont power over him like Tyson but he's got enough to stop him in 9

    A couple of guys by the name of Dokes and Page would dispute that. If Tubbs was in shape, I say he handles Evander with ease. Top notch boxing ability. But just wasn't in shape enough to deal, which would be his undoing. He would lose to Evander by close unanimous decision.
