    I watched that, it was shown on Channel 5 in the UK about 6 months ago. Great fight, Foreman was really game and just kept walking through Holyfield's punches.

    I'd nominate Morrison vs Ruddock but yeah Evander and Big George put on a great show altough it was kinda one-sided.

    Foreman did have Holyfield hurt a few times and viceversa.

    In terms of consistent action, it's definitely a good one. As the poster above said, it was quite one-sided overall; and, without the odd punch that Foreman landed to trouble Holyfield, it would have been too lopsided to be a great fight.

    Very enjoyable to watch, though. Holyfield showing great athleticism, and Foreman being Foreman.

    Great fight, Holyfeild teed off and George just stood there unaffected.

    It was damn good. I don't know if it was great but it was very good. I've watched it over several times, so I must've enjoyed it!

    It was OK.

    Holyfield way too fast and fit, but not powerful enough to hurt George.

    George powerful enough to slow Holy a few times, but not fast or fit enough to follow up.
