    Holyfield is light years ahead of Wilder. not only in terms of competition but in his level of fighting. also intangibles such as heart and determination. no comparison.

    Actually, Holyfields opposition over the past 15 years has been better than Wilders.

    But it would be a difficult fight for Wilder....barely winning a split decision.

    Wilder's one-punch power gives him the potential to beat any number of great heavyweights, but prime Holyfield isn't one of them.

    both are overrated, but i'd give holyfield a huge edge, and that's if they fought tomorrow.

    Nah, not my intention.

    I think Wilder will be greater when he laces them up. He definitely has more one punch power. I think he would give Evander a good run for his money in Evander's prime.

    Tough choice, if Wilder beats Arreola he will edge it for me.

    The 47yr old Holyfield that fought Valuev would probably have beaten Wilder.
