Everyone always talks about how he didn't as if it was a missed option he declined on.
Save me looking it up - has Evander ever been KOed? Proper KOed I mean, not falling over shot against Lights Out from a body shot. Hit on the chin, out cold. He seemed to take flush Tyson shots with no trouble at all.
No. He was stopped against Rid**** Bowe and James Toney, but he was never knocked out. Lewis could not have knocked him out either.
To answer the original question, I don't think that Bowe, Lewis, or anyone else could KO a prime (or even now) Holy in a boxing match so badly that Holy would not be conscious. I am thinking like Mesi- TOS or Peter- Williams. With Holyfeild, not going to happen.
If you tied Hold to the corner and let Bowe, Lewis, Tyson, or Tue wail away for 12 rounds with no fear of Holy fighting back, then you have to realistically think that Holy is a human with cerebral fluid around his brain. A non stop barrage of punches has to eventually force him to blackout.
Also, if you look at it from a physics perspective, suppose Lewis and Bowe hit with 100 N/M^2 of force and Tua and Tyson hit with 120 N/M^2 of force, and none of them could knock him out, then suppose an astroid came from outer space and collided with Holyfeild's cranium in just the right spot with 1,000,000 N/M^2 of force..... I rest my case.
The asteroid would have been stopped after the collision due to the Hemotoma it would recieve!
