    That's an interesting take, I've always thought that Holyfield would mix it up to much with a guy like Louis. How do you think the fight plays out?

    Benton would beg Holyfield not to fight Louis…

    Always my choice for "send in your durable man to deal with a puncher".

    Holyfield survived wars with Tyson and Lewis. He might well survive one with Louis. My question -- was Louis ever in a war with someone like Holyfield? Holyfield can survive a LOT. Can Louis?
