Would prime Holyfield be the champ in todays HW division?

He'd be around top 5 in the division, he could possibly beat Fury but I don't see him beating AJ, Wilder, Ortiz, but I could see him beating Fury who can beat almost any big man but is vulnerable against many small guys.

Whyte would be a really good fight, idk who wins that one.

It's not an easy question to answer.

Even figuring out how him vs fury would go would require a lot of thought imo

He definitely beats Ortiz who only has like 6 rounds of stamina.

Imo

Im on the fence with this.

What kind of question is this??? This is the weakest era of Heavyweights in the history of boxing.

You can't ignore the brutal shots Ortiz was getting hit with, you're just not going to be a fresh fighter when you get a beating like that put on you.

Holyfield actually gassed very badly against Moorer in like 4 rounds, and Moorer is a blown up light heavy version of Ortiz without the power.

Where is the equivalent of an obese Foreman as a champion in this division?

Why aren't Wilder & AJ losing to Rahman, McCall, level guys?

This has got to be some sort of a joke right??

I believe not. You will get many rose-tinted morons who will disagree though. Easily handled by Tyson Fury, would get stopped by Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Probably lose to Dillian Whyte. Could put up some great showings against the likes of Dominic Breazeale, Jarrell Miller and Luis Ortiz. Would be an interesting fight against Alexander Povetkin... that's about where I'd place him in the current mix.
