Evander Holyfield vs Muhammad Ali

[The Fix]

i think this would be a great fight but i see ali outboxing holyfeild for a close decision.

as far as ali vs tyson, i say ali stands up to an early flury by tyson and KO's tyson late....ali had a great chin.

A prime Ali would school Holyfield. He had more skill, speed and better stamina. Ali would have beaten Holyfield with ease up until 1967. He would struggle a bit, but still UD Holy after his comeback as well. The only Ali that Holyfield could/would have beaten is the post 1975 version. After the thrilla in Manilla, Ali was basically a shot fighter.

Holy is the most overated fighter of the past 40 years IMO - He beat Bowe once,A shot Tyson Twice - woopee doo.

We are talking the G.O.A.T here - against a blown up light heavy, with ZERO KO power.

Ali KO 8-10 rounds (Pre68) ALi UD post 70.

Just my opinion of course.

Keep in mind also that he used ALi and not Clay, Clay would have been a hell of a ot harder for holyfield than ali
