Holyfield had one great chin but I think Frazier would overwhelm him.

Holyfield had a great chin with a great heart to boot, old Foreman didn't hurt him, Tyson out of prison who was still one of the hardest hitters couldn't do anything, prime Lennox couldn't knock him out while Evander was out of his prime and he landed plenty of shots to be able to, so I don't think Frazier would overwhelm him. I do think it would be a back and forth fight FOTY type fight with Joe winning in the end.

George had Evander staggered at one point.

Holyfield could take ONE big punch, and he did in these situations you mentioned. He did get stunned a few times (like ag Michael Moorer II) but he quicly recovered.

BUt it keeps occouring to me when that the fact was hurt/knockedown by "smokin" Bert Cooper and Riddick Bowe, he was taking punches in bunches. The best "smokin" of all time would sure be much better than Cooper, he could throw loads and loads of punches. He could win either by decision or late stoppage.

Yeah, I think I may have egasterated when I said that Holyfeild did not stand a remote chance. But everything points to Frazier being the winner, and he also had a harder punch than Riddick Bowe and Mike Tyson did (at least at the time that Tyson fought Holyfeild).
