Truth is that Vlad would have had a very easy time with Holyfield. Holyfield looked awful in his last fight, so sad..........
At 37 holy was having back to back fights with Lewis, who found him difficult. How is wlad going to make it look easy?! Holyfield would be a slight underdog and would likely lose a close UD, but it would be competetive and the upset is not totally out of the question. Like it or not, wlad is not on par with lewis. And this ruiz crap....ruiz deserves a little more respect....he has quality wins no matter how he got them. The man found a way to get results above his ability level. Its was ugly but he does deserve more credit. At 37 holy is a live dog. A much better opponent than most of wlads resume.
Holyfield has faced and beaten much better opponents than Clinchko has ever faced in his entire career. Buster Douglas, Riddick Bowe, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Michael Moorer, Lennox Lewis.:yikes Samuel Peter:yep, Lamon Brewster:yep, Tony Thompson:yep, Eddie Chambers:yep, Corrie Sanders :yep.
he lost to BOWE twice ? Fat f--k Buster layed down and was always a BUM . George was a greandfather who lost every time he stepped up except the Moore fight . Mike never beat an a opponent in the 90s and he lost twice to LL . Vlad would have made easy work of HIM .:deal
