Wladimir is very strong yes but #1 Wladmir HAS NEVER brawled with anyone. When Wladimir is hit he covers up (see Wach fight) or he clinches (every fight) If David Haye tried to win his fight with Wlad,Haye would most likely get KO'd yes but Holyfield survived Riddick Bowe,Foreman,Tyson and Lewis. Wladimr Klitschko who is more cautious than any of those fighters would not KO Evander Holyfield ever. Holyfield in his prime KO's Wladimir or possibly wins a wide UD.
Holyfield destroyed Buster Douglas who is as good if not better than all of Haye's opponents except Wladimir. When Holyfield was out of his prime he survived Lennox Lewis and did well in the second fight. Holyfield KO'd Mike Tyson. Holyfield won a wide UD against future champ and still hard hitter Foreman. Holyfield always goes to war and Haye has never gone to war. Holy by TKO mid rounds.
Are we seriously comparing David gaye? Whose greatest achievement is beating a mummy from Russia, whose greatest achievement was hiding from the Klitschko's and getting a gift UD over an ancient Holyfield. Is this even a question?
gotta go with holyfield ko/tko. evander would step in between wide punches hayemaker and land something short and sweet right on the chin
