With his dedication...His heart and skill...Holyfield would have been practically unbeatable....

Many of Evanders losses ( I am talking when he was at his HW best not when he was older and slipping) came due to the fact he was dog tired and out gunned...Yet he would always find a way to stay in the fight...It took everthing his opponent had to beat him....

Now Evander will go down as an all time great without question...His heart is second to none (Maybe Marciano)....He could box and he could slug....If he was the bigger man who nows how dominate he would have been...

What do you guys think?
Making Holyfield bigger would have watered him down. He cut his teeth on the cruiserweight division; he may not have achieved what he did had he started out in the heavies. But being bigger it would have been difficult for him to exhibit the heart he did. Sure, he would have pulled the trigger on a lot of guys and in a quicker fashion. But he would have lost more close fights because he wouldn't have had as much oompf to get the job done. Maybe he wouldn't have been able to move as well; his chin might have been in just the right spot for Mike Tyson to rip off with one of those razor sharp uppercuts.
