Who do you think wins between these 70s & 90s fighters? 1) Joe Frazier vs Evander Holyfield 2) Ron Lyle vs Mike Tyson 3) Muhammad Ali (70s) vs Lennox Lewis 4) George Foreman (70s) vs Riddick Bowe 5) Ken Norton vs Michael Moorer 6) Earnie Shavers vs Frank Bruno 7) Jerry Quarry vs Tommy Morrison 8) Jimmy Young vs David Tua 9) Jimmy Ellis vs Bert Cooper 10) Chuck Wepner vs Shannon Briggs My Prediction 1) Holyfield W SD15 2) Tyson W KO6 3) Lewis W UD12 (Lewis never fought 15 like Holyfield so I did 12 instead of 15) 4) Foreman W TKO8 5) Norton W12 UD or MD 6) Shavers W TKO 7 7) Quarry W TKO6 8) Young W UD12 9) Ellis W UD12 10) Briggs W TKO 10 Outcome 70s - 6 wins 90s - 4 wins
My prediction: 1)Frazier wins by UD in a very tough fight. 2)Tyson wins by KO 5 or 6. 3) Ali by wins by SD, a 1960's ali would be way too good for Lennox, but not 1970's ali. I would favor the Greatest, but never write off Lewis. 4) 1-(60%) Foreman wins By KO 5 or 6. 2- (40%) Bowe by UD, if and only IF he survive the early slaughter. 5) Ken Norton by late TKO or UD. 6)Bruno Wins by first or second round KO. 7)Quarry wins By TKO 6. 8)Jimmy Young Wins by UD. 9)Ellis Wins by UD. 10) Briggs by MD or SD, i can also imagine a scenario where briggs might stops him on cut.

1) Joe Frazier vs Evander Holyfield- Frazier takes some punishment but his power is too much. Knocks him down in 9 and stops him 11. 2) Ron Lyle vs Mike Tyson- Mike takes a couple of ugly shots and some mean ass jabs but stops Ron in 5. 3) Muhammad Ali (70s) vs Lennox Lewis-Steward-era Lewis lands at least a couple of ferocious shots but loses by UD. 4) George Foreman (70s) vs Riddick Bowe-Bowe knocks down Foreman and his jab ruins the shorter man's night. Foreman makes it to the 12th round but is gassing bad while Bowe is fresh and busy. Bowe by UD. 5) Ken Norton vs Michael Moorer- Moorer is cute for awhile but Ken starts walking through him in the 7th round. 6) Earnie Shavers vs Frank Bruno- Shavers in 3.
