    His reflexes are beyond shot, Haye would beat him to shit.

    He can still bounce around on his toes for 12 rounds though, that's pretty impressive. He also looks in such great condition in the ring.

    A prime Holyfield would be Hayes worst nightmare. I still think he'd probably even be the best Haye has fought at heavyweight so far even aged 47.

    Thought for sure they would have tried to patch and Frankenstein this match together at one point,maybe earlier on.All the parallels drawn to Hayes cruiser achievements,the Holyfield story and name.maybe for the better it did not come off.Think Sheep nailed it.Holyfield can see what to do,right the blueprint to a victory but the man is fighting on memory,ego and a scary stubborn streak right now.

    At his best Holyfield would just be far too much for the best Haye.Holyfield would wreck him with combination punching and was way to 'thick' for Haye.Haye would have gone splat!

    ...see my earlier post where I said Holyfield is as durable as Ruiz AND has better foot and hand speed...if Ruiz can land a clean jab on Haye then surely Holyfield can do the same?

    A prime Holyfield would be "undisputed" HW champ now hands down for me, he would batter all 3 title holders to a bloody mess, BUT that man was 20 years ago and as someone touched on earlier, he will still have the ability to draw up the fight plan but when it came to executing it on any of the title holders that are around now he would unfortunatley at almost 50 fail. Yes George Foreman wasn't much younger but his one punch power gave him a chance with anyone, Holyfield has power but not like that, he drained his opponent with well put together combos and his workrate and then KO'd them and as me and Lyle agreed on a couple of weeks ago, he hasn't been able to do that effectively since the second Moorer fight.
