So master would you agree that Holyfeilds prime was pretty much after the second Bowie fight. I say that is the best answer after that he started to have a lot of hart problems and got hep b as well. He was also in his 30's and been fighting for 10 years so i say that was his prime really if you can not find out.

The Bowe fights obviously took something away from Holyfield.

I think Holyfield’s prime is when he was undefeated heavyweight champion including his battle with Bowe. After that he bulked up and although he beat Bowe he was slower and the victory was mainly because Bowe was the same fighter as a champion.

I think the rematch with Bowie Holyfeild was fighting a better fight if not for the fan man it would of been ended instead of a decision for Holyfeild. I mean after that it was kinda showing that fighting bigger guys and going through wars started to take a tole on him. Not to mention his heart condition was kinda getting worse and he would look dead in the ring. I am not sure to this day how he was allowed to fight so long with that condition i mean if he comes back at 50 hey may die in the ring from it. It is kinda hard to see one of my favs go the path of Holyfeild but hey live by the sword and you will die by it sometime i guess you could say. But he did have a good run after Tyson win avenged Moorer and took lewis for all he could take in the rematch at 37 or 38 years of age then he kinda just should of stopped after he got the wba belt it was time to really call it a day then for Holyfeild.
