    Holyfield is delusional. Maybe in his prime he could somehow get young Wlad in trouble, but I don't give him a chance against Vitaly whatsoever.

    I agree with the other posters who pointed out that Holy simply needs the money to pay child support. He should have called it a day long ago. The same goes for RJJ. They've been legends in their prime, but now they're years past it.

    When did he say this? If he said this 10 years ago, then I could believe it. But if he said this yesterday then :rofl:lol:

    The Klitschkos have both said they would never fight Holyfield for several reasons.
    The most important being the FACT that he was punchy before the Lewis fights.
    Another reason, is because, even though he was competitive vs Lewis in both those fights, he was clearly dominated by Toney just a short time later.

    The Klitshckos have far to much respect for the REAL DEAL to batter him for 7-8 rds until he is rendered unconscious.

    Prime for Prime, he could have beaten either 1/3 times. But that would been when he was at his best in 95-96 and neither K2 would have been ready for him at that point.

    Holyfield in his prime would smoke both Klitschko brothers.
    UD over Vitali if he doesn't quit and late TKO over Wlad.

    George Foreman hit harder and had a better chin than both Klitschko brothers easily. Prime Holyfield has a great chin,stamina,aggressive style etc.
    What is Vitali and cautious Wlad gonna do? Vitali's not gonna beat him down into submission and Wlad is barely gonna engage because Holyfield will smash him up on the inside anyway.

    Holyfield is a better fighter and champion. Just the truth.

    Holyfield would look like Pizza face he would never get inside on either brother they would dominate him bad no contest. By the way I love Holy but I just don't see him a former cruiser beating a TALENTED SUPER HEAVY.

    As if Vitali is some master boxer or super puncher? Vitali was troubled by Sanders,Chris Byrd. Please don't overrate these guys. This is the problem. You have to put the Klitschko reign in historical perspective. An ultra weak division.

    Yeah keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night.

    He might poss outbox Vitali but would probably favour current Wlad , Holyfield is a great competitor wouldnt be a big surprise if he won but Id bet on Klit
