Everyone since the late seventies is on gear. What's your point? Holy would beat Wlad probably by tko, way too versatile.
Why not tall guys like Bowe and Lewis were his poison though they were better in fighters but I think Wlad may hit harder
Hayes looked like he did, cause he fought wlad, holyfield would look the same way. What answer do you think he would have for wlad jab an left hook, NOTHING. But i am glad to read that hayes was over-rated hype job by the peope who were saying he would win, well i guess you can hold on to holyfield as some hope, knowing the fight will not happen.....
Nope. Holy would have the same problem Haye did. Haye and Holy have practically the same height (Haye - 6'3, Holy 6'2 and a half) and the same reach (78'). They aren't tall and long enough to hit Wlad from his distance. On top of that Holy doesn't have enough power to bother Wlad. Haye has more power and speed than Holy. Holy would be a bloody mess.
...And yet he stopped Tyson, came very close to stopping Foreman (end of round 9) took Douglas out with one shot, dropped Bowe and rocked him several times, dropped Mercer. Wladimir doesn't have a chin approaching anywhere near these guys. Holyfield would, provided he was properly motivated, certainly beat Wlad and very possibly by knockout/stoppage. Haye? At cruiser or heavyweight Holyfield would dominate him quite easily.
Look at this speed and body punching. Holyfield never took a step back or fell down in fear. Don't mention Haye with Holyfield again. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM3VOSiaUEQ[/ame]
That's if Holy can land. I still don't think he had that one punch power to KO Wlad. Holyfield landed several shots on the above (sans Douglas).
Holyfield was not a natural heavy weight. Wlad would win because of his size advantage and good defense.
LOL at the klit haters making up their fantasy fights of the past!! Both klits probably would have beaten holyfield and as for bowe, well he would probably have dumped his belt in the bin and ran
How is he going to outwork him? You think he has a chance to get in from the outside? Obviously, he can't outbox Wlad from the outside. I just find it hard to believe that a guy that is slower than Haye to get inside and outword Wlad. Please show me otherwise.
typical thread, typical in every sport, old sportsman are always better than the current crop... in 10 years people will be raving about how great prime Vlad and Vitali were.
