    The Foreman that fought Holyfield gets the older version that fought Mike Tyson.

    I think Holyfield proved in the Tyson fight that he wasn't the damaged goods people made him out to be. Holy still wins that one.

    I'd prefer to see the 73 Foreman vs the 2006 Holy.

    Interesting. So would neither guy have an age advantage? That's what I would've liked to see: 40 year old holy vs. 40 year old foreman.

    Thing is, holy needed that bounce in his step, tthat mobility., to beat foreman. The older version of Holy though had no mobility at all. Also. The combination punching that was so key in holy's win over foreman. He wouldn't have that either. I think he loses
