    One thats hard to peg is Holyfield.The version that kept his head and outboxed a viable returning Foreman.....or the broke down Tyson and walked through Moorer.

    Or a question Ive always wondered...at the risk of being laughed off.Foreman??Which version.He was raw and primed in youth,physical ability in his first run but the comeback saw a superior thinker and great disipline with better timing.I think that version may have topped young Foreman

    Even he felt he would have beaten his younger self..Holyfield said the same thing.

    "Back then I used to beat people by imposing my will, now if you can't out think me won't beat me" - Holyfield before the second fight with moorer.

    According to the USDA, a fighter is probably prime whenever he has better marbling than a choice fighter.
