Not Holyfield that is. Besides maybe Tyson all those guys landed at least half of their punches on Evander. Moorer too
Ike had more power than Vitali arguably so he caught Byrd,Byrd was out boxing him before that and was gertting arrogant in the fight.He learned not to get hit by big men,the klitchkos faced a better Byrd imop. The shoulder injury happened,he was winning if that's an excuse ,the sky must be green in your world. Look the smarter posters would have picked Vitali here ,that's all I have left to add because you have a agenda here and im bored because you will just talk in circles and fabricate anything to suit it.......
Actually no , Byrd was clearly out of his depth from the very first round. You could argue he won the first , but that was purely down to Ike just warming up. Ike completely dominated him in one sided fashion. Byrd was in deep waters and it was obvious his stoppage loss would only be a matter of time. In no way shape or form was Ike ever being out boxed. He got the snot beat clean out of him. That comment tells me you never watched the fight and are merely parroting what you read on a forum. Vitali could barely land a clean shot on Byrd. He simply didn't have the skills. A shot Golota did much better against Byrd than prime Vitali did because Golota possessed skills of the 90's era thought to him by Lou Duva.
so you have a problem with you being 100% wrong. I'd never guess. Good luck with your iceskating uphill.
bad idea for vitali putting him in with a guy who can box at elite level. evander points win, UD, even when post prime. vitali would probably crack a 40something holyman, narrow SD.
