Holyfield was not a great heavyweight champion, he was not very consistent and had poor performances at times. Holyfield was probably at his best when he was undefeated and weighing 205lb but he did bulk up later but was slower and not has active. It would be a close fight because Sonny had a ram rod jab which I can see knocking the head back of Evander time and time again. Holyfield relied more on conditioning and determination when he beat Dokes, Thomas and Alex Stewart.
