what if holyfield fought vitali now and beat him

[Stoppage]

I felt Holyfield already beat Valuev and that he was robbed.

[WhoreUs]

holyfield wouldn't be the first over the hill , past prime fighter to whoop vitali's ass.

You guys are crazy , pure and simple , Lewis had a great jab and good technical skills but to say he was a better fighter than Holyfield is madness !!!!! , go look up every all time top 10 list and in there will be Holy !!!!!

Lewis was the best of a bad bunch , the Tyson that Holyfield beat would of KO 'd Lewis , just as that bum Rahman did , he was over rated and boring to watch .

Yep with Lewis infront of him.

Man you could start a whole new topic with what you just said :

Highly debatable points would be -Did Lennox actually win both fights , concensus IMO would be HELL NO !!!!!!!!!

And was Holy shot !!!!!!!

Which fight is Holyfield supposed to have won?

I like Holyfield and would've liked to see him get the decision against Valuev, but for me Lewis goes down in history as the better fighter and I feel he'd beat any version of Holy. Holy's record at heavyweight now stands at 24-10-2 and I don't think Lewis would accrue 10 losses even if he continued boxing till he was 50 and only fought guys in the top 10.

Speaking of hypotheticals, if Mercer upsets Rahman and then fights Holyfield, maybe one of the sanctioning bodies could find an excuse to strip one of the champs and have the winner of 48 yr old Mercer vs Holyfield become champ.

You're gonna get it for that one.

Watch someone post the punch stats from Vitali's loss to make themselves feel better..

Thats a bit harsh since lewis twice beat a near prime holyfield

what is near prime? because he wasn't in his prime haha

I used to think this but a lot of people seem to think Hloyfield was unlucky in the second fight.

I still had Lennox winning both though.

I agree that the comment you quoted was over the top, IMO Evander is greater but Lennox is definitely in the same elite class as Evander.

What I don't agree with is Holyfield beign near-prime when Lewis beat him, Evander's prime ended back around the time he retired with the heart problem after the Moorer loss. He was quite past his best by the time he fought Lennox.
