    Holyfield looks better athleticism wise but Foreman was a better and more effective fighter at that age due to his strength and chin.

      Foreman

      While Michael Moorer was nothing special, he still was nevertheless the heavyweight champion of the world and an elite HW at the time when a 45 year old Foreman stopped him.

      And I think a young Tommy Morrison would kick the crap out of today's Evander Holyfield.

        Lets put it this way, Holyfield of today would get crushed by the 49 year old Foreman who "lost" to Briggs.

          I think the Briggs of today would still lose to a 50 something Foreman.

            Holyfield because of the HGH he is using.

                Foreman was the champion in his 40's. Holyfield has heart, but he's fighting easy guys that he can surely beat even at this stage of his career.

                      Big George gets my vote.
