Holyfield by wide UD. He would be aggressive, he would work and score more. Tucker would fight back with success on some occasions, but mostly he would get outgunned.

Holyfield by UD. Tony never developed, if he had he'd have this.

Holyfield by decision, but Tucker was always so underrated. It would be a great watch for me.

Tucker was tall and awkward, could have posed problems for Holyfield at times.

Tucker would have his moments by out-boxing and out-punching Holyfield in those certain rounds, but Holyfield would dominate Tucker throughout the fight by boxing him with counters and combinations to take a decision.

Looks like everyone is going with Holy by decision.

So let me just add that I'm yet another one going for Holy by decision.

Watch the Douglas v Tucker fight Gilg it's an education.
It's one of those bouts that get swept under the rug, it's worth a watch.
You may come out of it with mixed emotions.
I'd be eager to hear your findings.
