Which ever version you belive is the best of The Real Deal, how does he fare against today's champs, and also the current heavyweight division??
Holyfield-Joshua would be really fun for about six or seven rounds before Joshua gassed and Holyfield gives him a beating. The guy is how Joshua opens up when he throws his right. Whyte, Povetkin's and Ruiz were all finding counter left hooks. I have no doubt Holyfield would, too. Fury may well just be too big. I think it's very possible he just keeps the jab in Holyfield's face and stays the **** away from him until the final bell rings. Holyfield's pressuring was excellent though and I'd fully expect it to be very close no matter who won. Lean Fury.
Good post George. I've got him beating Joshua in a right, hard fought war. Maybe points or late ko. Fury, ah ah. He's an hard one to figure. Let's say the version who kod Wilder. That one beats Holyfield but obviously no where near as convincingly. A decision win in a battle for Fury I'm going for.
Simple, the best version of Holy beats them all. Fury's the only one that might give him something to think about.
Best version of Holyfield I believe was when he fought Bowe the second time, in the fan man fight. He had put on 10+lbs of muscle since their first fight and he just looked incredible physically. As for how he matches up with today's heavyweights, Joshua just doesn't have the heart, conditioning or chin for a war with Holyfield. I think Holyfield is all wrong for Fury, great in-fighter, granite chin, could fight hard for 12 rounds, I don't see how Fury racks up enough points to remain competitive on the scorecards. Wilder would be humiliated, no one as mobile and as smart as Holyfield is going to walk into his wild haymakers. 120-108 Holyfield
Holyfield Ko’s Wilder in 2 rounds. Joshua would be unable to keep up with Holyfield’s pace and would be open to Holy’s counters during hard exchanges- much like Ruiz 1. Holyfield stops him after some very exciting early action. Holyfield tko 7 Fury - is hard to figure because he looks so different from fight to fight. Some fights he looks like rubbish than other fights he looks like a H2h nightmare. Holyfield would pose problems though because Cunningham gave Fury lot of issues, and I think Holyfield could duplicate his game plan and is a bigger puncher. But that was Fury that was not peak. The Fury that moves could give Holy lot of issues. I see a hard fight with either man winning a close decision. Holy vs Povetkin of today is mismatch. Vs Prime Pov - it would be a great fight.
Fury doesn't have the firepower to keep Bowe 1 Holy off him the whole fight. Holy is knocking him all over the ring by the 12th, for a more than comfortable UD. Joshua lasts 7 rounds.
