If both were in their primes how would this fight end? I don't see either having much of an advantage over the other. On paper I see a decision with neither fighter taking any big shots, but knowing Holmes if he felt the scorecard was not in his favor he would have made something happen. These fighters would have surely brought out the best in each other. Physically both are about the same size and for years the fighters of this size were considered to be the ideal size for a heavyweight with the reach, speed, stamina, and strength.
