    No heart? Where exactly did Wlad show no heart? You should change your name to "anal"...

    I think both guys are overrated in history, yes when i see the list with some putting holyfield in the top 10 of all-time i just laugh.....ESPN did that....

    and I do think holyfield is a bit overrated for his heavyweight period......

    I think holyfield couldn't get inside on wlad, like a tyson could.......I see Wlad winning on points, and I could see evander actually quitting.....

    Holyfield would win via Vlad having a panic attack and collapsing somewhere around the 4th round.

    Yeah, it did. I'm sure I've read a Lewis quote somewhere that said he fought differently in the second than the first fight.

    If the first fight had been scored properly there would have been no second fight. If somehow there was, Lewis would have fought exactly the same way, and got exactly the same result. It's just a horrible matchup of sizes and styles for Holy.

    Bowe was a big man that threw away ALL of his advantages when fighting Holy. If he'd had half a brain, Bowe would have beat Holy easy.

    Prime for Prime v Lewis, yeah you could argue Holy would be more active and have more success, but enough to turn the tide and win? I doubt it.

    WIth a Tyson you could say Lewis would win prime for prime, but always add the rider "but if Tyson gets inside and connects, he wins. No doubt" and make a case.

    With Holy, if he does enough to get in there, he still doesn't have the pure power to end it with one or two shots. Even with guys that supposedly have shaky chins like Lewis and Wlad.

    Holy would find Wlad very difficult to beat. He could do it, but Wlad has way more tools to win this one - and unless there's a Brewster type collapse, I can't see it happening.

    No way, Lennox could“nt knock him out, when Holy already was past his prime. So how could Wlad, who is a B-version of Lennox.

    Prime heavyweight Holyfield ( 1989-1993) does it all again against Wladimir Klitschko like he was facing Riddick Bowe in the rematch. On his toes, moving in circles, jabbing and boxing a bit, fighting hard and intense on the inside, body punches, uppercuts, relentless pace, blazing combination punching, and wins a decision if not stops Klit late.

    Holy is not a speedster. And he always had a problem with a jabbers. Wlad has better jab that anyone he faced. Wlad keeping distance better than anyone he faced.
