Joe Frazier stops Mike Tyson by round 9
Holyfield would destroy Norton IMO

I thought this would be an interesting thread. There's a lot on arguments of whose better than who in the heavyweight rankings.

Here's some fantasy match-ups. Let me know the outcome of the fights, in your opinion.

Muhammad Ali vs Lennox Lewis
Joe Frazier vs Mike Tyson
Ken Norton vs Evander Holyfield

lewis would knock ali out in the first round,the rope a dope would not work in todays game these fighters are bigger and stronger and do not tire,ali would do the rope a dope and lewis would land that jab right combo and ali would be out,after the bell for the first round sounds tyson would attack frazier the first punch frazier gets hit with he is staggered then tyson throws a uppercut and frazier goes flying over the top rope,and he is awakened with the help of smelling salts,tyson wins in less than 20 seconds of the first round,this fight would last a little longer than the others,holyfield wins by first round kayo

I can't really see Holyfield destroying Norton. Norton had a solid chin but not good enough to take punches from Foreman and Shavers.

Watch Holyfield throw everything he had at Alex Stewart for example and not get him out of there. He wasn't a big puncher.

I would give the edge to Holyfield because Norton was a bit one-dimensional with his constant pressure. Holyfield would have some rough moments early, take over the fight in the middle rounds when he starts to figure Norton out with Norton likely staging a comeback in the last couple of rounds because of his conditioning, strength and body punching. It would be a great fight.

Thats a wack choice of winners


I agree Ali UD's Lewis.

Tyson stops Frazier

Holyfield vs Norton is a pickem, perhaps Holyfield by Ud.

Rid**** Bowe sounds like a fair match-up.

That could have and was rumored to happen Back after Bowe won the title.

That fight would have draw huge,people forget what a draw Bowe was at that time.

I got Ali over Lewis by decision, Frazier over Tyson by late knockout and Holyfield over Norton by decision.
