(prime) holmes vs holyfield

[ICB]

i think Larry stops Evander on cuts. Larry almost beat Evander when they fought in the 90's. i think Evander won a split decision and Larry wasn't even near his prime. people really forget how good Larry was. between i say 78 and 83, Larry was as good as anyone in history.

In my opinion Evander was a few years removed from his prime. vs. Holmes , Evander was at his best between 87-90

Evander beat Holmes from pillar to post in 92.. Larry was cemented in corner holding on to the ropes trying not to fall down.. and Evander had to shame him out to the center of the ring from time to time , drawing an imaginary line . Larry would try and bait his opponent like he did to Ray Mercer his previous match .. Sit on the corner buckle and bait. Evander was not gonna have any of that.



prime for prime would have been a firecracker , no question .

Disagree Holyfield wasn't removed from his prime after Holmes fight he fought fight of his life vs Bowe and in rematch performed the best he ever had at hw and Holyfield didn't beat him pillar to post punchstats were only like 207 to 240 Holyfield looked like he was running out of steam in last 3 and Holmes won last 3 quite comfortably hurting Holyfield with straight right hands prime Holmes would beat Holyfield by ud.
