    No concept of the fight. Holyfield was supposed to lose in 1 rd MARK . Holyfield was considered finished. You have to have Tysons balls in yr mouth to not acknowledge that. Unless of course you were not living thru it. Thats it isnt it fanboy. You 2 name poster are a kid. No one there believed Holy was prime time before rd 1. SaadAnt proven unknowing again.

    I think I'd just send in Lewis to beat everyone, except for Ali and Holmes, who would get to fight Tyson.

    Vitali Klitschko would handle most of these guys too and he's not even listed.

    If I had to pick one man to defeat Leonard prime for prime, it'd surely be Hearns*.:thinking:

    Jack Dempsey-Lennox Lewis
    Joe Louis-Mike Tyson (IMO, Louis can win but out of all the ATG heavies Tyson would be most dangerous for Louis)
    Rocky Marciano-Muhammad Ali (Ali dominates the early rounds, Marciano gets more competitive mid-late rounds and Ali wins decision)
    Sonny Liston- Evander Holyfield (heavyweight version)
    Muhammad Ali-Lennox Lewis (Ali can win, but Lewis was a big, skilled super heavy with ATG punching power his size advantage may let hi, take this)
    Larry Holmes-Jersey Joe Walcott (sure Walcott could be the underdog but he's one of the few under 200 lber's who has a high chance to pull it off)
    Mike Tyson- Joe Louis (if he can survive Tyson's early onslaught, Louis by late round stoppage)
    Evander Holyfield- Riddick Bowe (we all saw what happened)
    Riddick Bowe- Mike Tyson (Bowe too open to be hit while Tyson was relatively hard to hit plus Tyson was the harder puncher and better chinned IMO)
    Lennox Lewis- George Foreman (Lewis can win this, but Foreman is dangerous to anyone who can be felled with one punch)
    Wladimir- Ray Mercer (well, the night he battled Lewis to a standstill he may have beaten Wlad)
    Anthony Joshua- Razor Ruddock (Ruddock at his peak may have stopped AJ as Ruddock was a murderous puncher)
    Tyson Fury- Joe Frazier (Frazier would pummel Fury to the body like no other and Fury didn't have the punching power to deter a prime, determined Joe Frazier)

    Holyfield was juiced to the gills for the Tyson fights if we're being honest.

    Not really, you're implying that he had to do something out of the norm to defeat Tyson.

    Who btw was juiced WAY past the gills. Thus the uncontrollable rage and steroid body. Juiced from the moment the bum damato got him unto the end. Holyfield kicked his punk ass crushed his heart and broke all the TYTARDS clinging to the baddest man BULL****. History

    The implication being that being juiced is outside the norm.

    I believe Holyfield got involved in PEDS around the time he became a heavyweight/his hair fell out.

    96/97 is pretty special though because it’s around the time when PED technology was more advanced but testing hadn’t caught up. Additionally, Holyfield scaled above 215 for the Tyson fights which he had only done once until that point. Now consider that the PEDs really would’ve mattered against Tyson because Holyfield came to wrestle and out-muscle Tyson.
