Holyfield on Joe Louis "I'd tear him up!"

[Violent Demise]

You can only imagine if Joe Luis would have had the growth hormone and the type of training that Holyfield had...

I'm sure if Holyfield would of faced the bum of the month opponents Louis faced he would of crushed them as well

That's a good point.

Thats a great point. I try to think that way with all fighters. What if Duran faced all Mayweathers opponents, or what if Ali faced Tysons opponents etc.

I agree with Holyfield. He probably would have beat him, probably even decisively imo. He never said he was greater than him, just that he could beat him. I think Mayweathers claim to be greater than SRR or Briggs claim to be greater than Ali are obsurd. Holyfields remark is not.

Right, Holyfield didnt just say hed beat him, he said hed tear him up!

Like he tore up Larry Holmes and Bert Cooper? Both were faced while in Holyfields prime and both were either washed up or not very good

And Cooper came whithin a whisker of taking him out, but Holyfield recovered and rendered a terrible beating Oon "Smokin" Bert.
