I didn't know Holyfield sparred with Tua in '96

[J_Undisputed]

Yeah that was the younger, thinner tua who being coached by Duva and I think, Ronnie Shields. He was the right height weight and style. He didn't have as much head movement and didn't have the combo punching precision of D'Amato system but in 96, neither did Tyson (as much) anymore. Tua was on his way to being the next Tyson till he got derailed by coach/management problems (trusting the wrong people to manage his money) and probably a stray cheeseburger here and there.

Tua had tree trunk legs, no wonder he hit so hard.

I always thought Holyfield should have fought: Tua, Golota, Morrison, Rudduck, Briggs, and Bruno and I wonder how those fights would have gone.

Also against Wlad or Vitali around the time Evander fought Ruiz.

Holyfield was inconsistent at that time he could beat Bowe but lose to Moorer.

Yes peak Holfield breaks down all of the above. Holyfield that lost to Moorer possibly loses to all of them except Bruno.
