    The only way it would be a close fight is if the only way for a fight not to be close is KO1.

    You guys are ****ing insane, Wlad has lost to much lesser fighters A prime Evander takes him to the wood shed.

    Wlad would get knocked out a Prime Wlad vs Prime Evander I say TKO 6 Holyfield.

    Wlad would never be able to deal with that Version of Evander his chin and heart would not be able to hold up

    In his prime, Holy turns Wlad into a quivering wreck.

    i agree, however H2H Wlad is better than holyfield. The size disparity between the two fighters will make the difference. Wlad will keep Holyfield at the end of the jab... when holyfield gets close he will get octopused.

    Funny you should say this Brewster, Sanders and Puritty all found a way to beat Wlad, and your here suggesting that the higher skilled Holyfield wouldnt find a way to get behind that jab?

    Wlads chin is always the factor in fights like this, and to suggest Holyfield cant hurt him is just out right stupid.

    Wlad would never be able to go through what Bowe was able to go through with Evander, he would never have seen the finish line.

    and if your going to tell me Wlad pot shots and boxes Holyfield to a decision your crazy Nobody was able to do that against a Prime Holyfield and Wlad is no exception here.

    Ah so the theory is that all the fighters better than Brewster, Sanders and Purity will beat Wlad? So basically half the current division would kick Wlad's ass according to your ridiculous theory :nut

    That's so stupid it's downright painful.

    I never realised Holyfield was as big as Brewster.

    I had previously written off the loss to Brewster as poor training. Might need to rewatch that fight, I could totally revaluate my ranking of Wlad as a h2h fighter.

    It wouldn't be close, Holy would school him for 5 rounds and stop poor Wlad in the 6th.
    Then he goes on to stop brother Vitali in 10, KO Haye in 1, Fury in 3 and Pulev and Povetkin around 4 or 5.

    When he's done he wakes up en notices he wet his bed.

    I reckon I favour holy prime for prime here.

    The two toughest fights wlad has had for nearly a decade is due to pressure fighters and not many can bring it as well as holy. The sanders loss is an anomaly but Brewster repeated the feat of purrity, take wlads shots, work him hard and pour on the pressure. Peter wasn't quite good enough but Holy sure is.

    Btw that left hook to the body Brewster threw in the 5th, what a beast of a shot that was.

    Foreman said Holyfields left hook to the body was the heaviest left hook to the body he has ever felt.....

    Doesn't bode well for Wlad. Holy has great lateral movement and great inside game. Top class combo puncher to boot.

    Exactly, and lets not forget his work rate in his prime.. he was a beast no way Wlad at any point in Wlads career does he beat a Prime Evander Holyfield
