    He would beat everyone.

    Joshua would be the toughest and would be the equivalent of rid**** bowe to Holyfield.


    But yeah prime evander is running roughshod over guys and would def be a champ

      I said yes but am on the fence as well. Certainly Holyfield could be A champ but not so sure he could beat everyone.

          He'd kill them. He'd kill them all.

            If allowed his PEDs he would be undisputed. Evan Fields...

              Probably not. Would still be the same story.

              Fury, Joshua, Wilder then Everybody else.

                yeah I watched both fights as they happened.

                  Holyfield didn't exactly put on a masterclass performance against an old, obese Foreman either, he went in there looking like a very 1 dimensional brawler.
                  You mean when he had severe heart problems? Oh he lost to John Ruiz when he was 40 years old, I guess that means he couldn't compete with Luis Ortiz

                  Like who? Who did Holyfield lose to that especially Wilder would wipe the floor with? Here's a guy who was outboxed by Szpilka ffs. haha

                  Absolutely silly. Luis Ortiz looked like dog crap against pretty much everyone he's fought except Wilder; Allen, Scott, even in his last fight yet you're trying to say a prime Holyfield couldn't compete with him.

                  Dear me, these kids today.

                    Why aren't Wilder & AJ losing to Rahman, McCall, level guys?
                    Foreman would unify the title in this era.

                      Fury stops him late in a barn burner.
