Would his legend be greatened by possisble domination of the current champs? Tarnished by the "lack of competition"? The same? Or are there fighters out there now (styles make the fights) who could beat Holyfield when he was prime? If so, who could or could maybe pull it off?

If he was in his prime right now, he'd hold the belt for a long time. Dominate the heavyweight division beating lesser fighters. He wouldn't win the belt 4 times. Can't think of any current heavyweight who could beat him if he's in his prime today.

He would dominate the division today. he was much better than lennox lewis. Lennox hand picked his opponents. He ducked all the good fighters until it was the right time to fight them. Holyfield went through wars and took a lot of shots by the time he fought lennox. He was on the decline. In my opinion if holyfield was in his prime today he wouldnt be beaten in a long time.

Evander was so overrated. Riddick Bowe and Lennox were much better fighters. How would he do against todays champs? who knows.....but wlad would beat him for sure.

Yes Evander would do very well in this era, overrated and talentless. There would be no competition for him.

i know of no heavyweight today who is in his class. these monster size russians are slow and unskilled. they don't even know how to hold their hands. boxing is dying because there is no national authority that every major sport has
