    Is it a styles thing or was Holy simply done?

    I personally feel that Lewis beats him everytime.

    Agreed. I think Lewis had Holy's number.

    Shit, the older/stronger Holy prob matches up better with Lewis than the the younger Holy.

    Cannot see how Holy wins. Never could.

    I think Lewis still wins a decision. Holyfield was fresher and faster in 91', but also smaller, too brawl-happy, and less experienced against huge HWs. Lewis's size, strength, power, and ability to 'fight tall' would still be too much for Holyfield to overcome, IMO.

    Similarly to their 2nd fight, an 8-4, possibly 7-5 type decision.

    Holyfield was already on the slide when he fought Lewis and he still arguably won the rematch.

    Lewis doesn't have his number at all! Preposterous.
