    At HW, i'd pick Holyfield. At 17-0 I wouldn't give him much chance of beating the Schmeling that KO'd Louis. Schmeling by TKO in 10.

    Holyfield hustles to a close decision win in which he absorbs some smashing right hands on the jaw. Ultimately the workrate of Evander impresses the judges more.

    I'd go with Holy here, just too tough and possessed fantastic combinations at this point in his career.

    Shmelling was Great as evidenced obviously by his win against Louis, but it was a very unfocused Louis. Holyfield was great too and proved it far more, against better oppositon. So i gotta go with Evander prolly by UD.
