    Outside of Holmes and Tyson. You have to find a heavyweight to beat Prime Holyfield. The fate of the world depends on it. Who do you send? Mike Weaver? John Tate? Carl Williams?

    I’d definitely send Michael Spinks and wouldn’t be surprised at all if he won.

    Dokes might be a good pick considering how well the late 80s version did.

    Witherspoon is the one I'd pick.

    Well Bowe turned pro in 89, he probably didn't have enough experience to deal with Holyfield at that point though.

    I could see Spinks out pointing Holyfield.
