Prime Evander vs. Prime Roy at LHW..WHO WINS?

if you remember the first Qawi fight, Holyfield had amazing speed so I think with that speed Holyfield is just too much for Roy to handle, I mean Roy is content with Pot Shotting, Holyfield sits down on his shots, I think in all honesty he destroys Roy.

Tough to say, all of Holyfields best wins were at CW and above. Evander would have been pretty quick, though probably a bit weight drained by the time he had enough experience for this fight. His chin would have stood up to Roy's and I'm not so sure about Roy's. Evander threw more punches than Roy, if he was able to land enough of them a UD for Holyfield would be the most likely result. Tough to say though.

At CW or above, I'd say Holyfield.

At LHW, probably Roy.

Evander by KO

This is a hard one to call, I would go with Jones because he would make Holyfield work a lot and get him tired but this would be a great matchup. Jones in a SD

The version of Holyfield able to make 175 would be way too inexperienced to deal with the amount of unorthodoxy, angles, experience that the 175 Jones would bring.

Yeah, Good one. Evander by late stoppage. Back in his lighter days, he was a skillful volume puncher/boxer and thats the perfect style to beat a Roy Jones. He would be willing to take some to get it and Jones didn't like it ugly. His glass chin wouldn't like Holyfields power shots. Holyfield would also have an overwhelmingly advantage in size. At the 1984 Olympics, he fought at light heavyweight and looked so dominate and fast. His educated pressure, technical weaponry, advantages in height, reach and size would be too much for Jones to overcome.

Holyfield by brutal KO

Holyfield never officially fought at LHW as a pro although he was a LHW as an amateur.

He could've probably made the limit in his first 3-4 fights as a professional but I doubt that inexperienced Holyfield would be beating a prime Jones at LHW.

Holyfield at CW&HW beats Roy Jones.
