    Haye vs Holyfield that fought Foreman; who takes it?

    Stylistically, both of these guys are/were very powerful and explosive given their size and weight. I believe Holyfield may have been a little lighter or the same size that Haye was today.

    I think this would've been a damn good fight with fireworks written all over it.

    Damn, it's hard to call, but I'm leaning on Holyfield winning a close SD...

    Thoughts?

          The Holyfield that fought Foreman rips his head off & most guys in H/W history.

          Holyfield by K.O/T.K.O in a one sided ******ing.

            Definitely Holyfield, IMO.

            Just a much better fighter.

              I say Holyfield wins an SD.

              Let's not act like Holyfield didn't have life and death fights with Bert Cooper, Michael Dokes and lose to Michael Moorer and Bowe in his prime.

              Sure they don't have the same style as Haye, but Holyfield wasn't a God that would kill Haye in 10 seconds. Holyfield was one of my favorite fighters coming up, but he wasn't Mike Tyson invinceable.

              If Dokes and Cooper can take a prime Holyfield to the limit, so can Haye.

                  The 1991 Holyfield who beat Foreman would take out Haye in the late rounds. Foreman was getting hit with some nasty shots in that fight.

                  The 2002 Holyfield who stopped Rahman would probably beat Haye on points.

                    No, I'm not British lol

                    Did Holyfield not go life and death with Dokes and Bert Cooper?

                    Holyfield is my top 3 most favorite fighter of all time behind Roy, but stylistically it would be a competitive fight against Haye.
