Quarterfinals

Joe Frazier vs Sonny Liston
George Foreman vs Larry Holmes
Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson
Joe Louis vs Evander Holyfield

Who would win?

[gilgamesh]

Joe Frazier KO 9 Sonny Liston
Larry Holmes W12 George Foreman
Muhammad Ali W12 Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield W12 Joe Louis (great fight, could go either way...I think Holy would be able to take it just barely)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Larry Holmes W12 Joe Frazier
Evander Holyfield W12 Muhammad Ali (Holy pulls off another shocking upset in the GP, I think he'd have the style to beat Ali)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evander Holyfield W12 Larry Holmes



Call me crazy, but I just see Holyfield winning this tournament with these matchups. Of course with a group as talented as this. Any number of things could happen in virtually any of the fights. I'm sure there will be differing opinions. This is mine.

Vladimir didn't make those predictions

[BoxBuzz]

The idea that Foreman could not possibly finish what Shavers almost accomplished is at least a bit odd.

No one calls that fight in Foremans Favor....I think I might. But I also understand the consensus.

I don't think it's impossible that Foreman could beat Holmes at all, hell Foreman has a puncher's chance against anybody. I just don't think the style matchup favors him and I feel like if he were dropped (which is not unlikely) Holmes would be able to get up, shake it off and continue winning like he did with Shavers.
