    I like the kiddies, but not when they purport to be growed men and still don't know any better. I propose a fight I lay out the basic terms including timelines, ie professional boxing 101.
    Interbeer yawns and then moves on with life.

    Cos I actually have one.

      Holyfield was the superior fighter, both at cruiserweight and at heavyweight.

        Holyfield was stopped in 1 by Belfort. The myth of Holyfield was exposed!

          So you're promoting a size mismatch. He didn't need vitamins to break 200 either.

          Match'em at hvy and you've got a decent fight.
          Yawn... your an idiot.

            Haye had a great punch...One in which he could hit Holyfield flush and it would back Holly up... Holly had a lot of great punches, could throw combos, one of the best at doing so as a heavyweight... Had great activity bordering on the rate that Frazier fought at (in Holly's heavyweight prime), could be defensively responsible when coached to do so (Tyson fights, Bowe fight that he won).

            Haye got by as a heavyweight as an ambush fighter... Ambush fighters stay away and attack from a distance. Holly would not let Haye get any distance... at cruiser, forget about it... Holly one of the greats, although I would personally argue that unlike Moore, and Moorer, and Tunney, Holly was better at heavyweight than cruiser.

                The dude you are arguing with has been officially recognized by Google viewer metrics as an idiot. They have suggested for him to go to a support forum for idiots, and given him links for other ways to address the condition. Is idiocy contagious? well according to the links, probably not, but you wouldn't want Queen Bee to breath on you just the same... also when engaging such an idiot, there is a tendency for one's own IQ to drop precipitously, but it is temporary. Just be careful. If you engage such an idiot for a long time in one session, you may find your jaw going slack, incessant drooling, and having to concentrate to walk straight and chew gum.

                  Holyfield showed he could take punches from George Foreman, Rid**** Bowe, Mike Tyson, and Lennox Lewis.

                  I don't think anything from David Haye would faze him.

                    They say a man is only as good as his last performance, so it has to be Haye, coming off a great points win over an unbeaten boxer, and Holyfield coming off a R1 KO loss to a UFC guy. Nash out.

                      Haye could not fight a lick. Holyfield schools and then stops him within ten rounds.
