    Basically Holmes of the Mercer fight in Klitschko’s era, in this hypothetical, he’s also the step-brother of Vitali Klitschko, to replicate Wlad’s situation.

    He also stays 42 as he was in the Mercer fight, he’s as he is in that fight for the whole era.

    I’d say he loses to Sanders, Povetkin, Ibragimov, Byrd, Haye and maybe Pulev, but beats Thompson, Brewster, Chagaev and the other guys who were decent.

    How do you think he does?
