    Holyfield is top ten of all time of course he'd be a champ.
    You might as well ask if Ali would be while your at it

      Whyte would be a really good fight, idk who wins that one.
      Fury, in his 20th fight, got decked by a former CW when he was caught square by an overhand right while showboating.

      He got up, embarrassed but not hurt, and won by KO in the 7th round without being hurt again. And you think that means he's still vulnerable against many small men?

          Holeyfield wouldn't even be a HW today, because he wouldn't be able to use steroids to pile on muscle and bulk up from 190lbs, which was the CW limit back then.

          He was buying gear mail order and having it delivered to his house, ffs!

                Absolutely. Too tough, too resilient, too skilled. Out works Fury snd Joshua, probably stops AJ. Boxes Wilder's ears off

                    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.
                    He something wrong with him that fight hep C or something

                      he would at least unify. Holyfield didnt know when to stop, but these current guys are all damage limitation athletes.
