    The best version of Wlad should win out.

    Interesting match up, Fury has a lot of physical advantages and a tricky defensive style. Wlad was very cautious and did not really take the fight to Fury and only really pushed the fight in the 11th and 12th once hopelessly behind. It would have been nice to have seen him dragged into more of a battle because Holyfield comes to fight. I could see Evander digging to that big torso and wearing him down.

    I want to say Holyfield but Fury's twitchy negative style is hard for smaller boxers to figure out. Fury is a light puncher P4P but he has a lot of pounds behind him. Holy isn't just going to be able to walk him down. Maybe the ol headbutt/uppercut to the nutsack combo can win this for Holy.

    I think Holyfield but it's a gruelling fight for him.

    A man who squeaked past the worst version of Wlad that possibly ever fought, versus a prime HW champion from a good era. Do the math.
