I think James Toney did a good job.

 

Prime Norton,

 

Prime Ali , Prime Jack Johnson .Bonavena,Marciano,Chuvalo would all be interesting matchups.

 

im going with prime foreman,tyson and bowe actually did it.lewis should have done it fight no1

 

I rate Bowe higher than most but I concede that Holy in fight 3 was not the same Holy from fight 1 and 2.

 

GEORGE FOREMAN..........LISTON.:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke

 

it says prime Holyfield, not 40 year old shot Holyfield

 

Wouldn't favor anyone.

Tyson couldn't and Lewis, one of the hardest hitters of all time couldn't.

A few in the "maybe" category, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

Don Turner wasnt much good at training any fighter for any fight. :yep

 

i think toney still could do a good a job

 

I presume you are talking styles.

Lewis probably hit harder than Liston, and Tyson was around the same level as Liston in punching power.

Raw power alone is not useful against Holyfield.

 

Aye.

Joe Louis is a reasonable pick.

 

I agree with you. I've seen him hurt or doubled over several times from body shots. Foreman a couple times, Lewis in the 5th round of the first fight, Moorer briefly in the first fight (I think the end of the 4th round), Bowe several times. Tyson's best moment in their two fights came when he did his famous right hook to the body, right uppercut upstairs combo.

Makes me wonder how a fight between Holyfield and Frazier would go. Frazier had a consistent body attack.
