    First of all, Holyfield was 40 years old when he faced Chris Byrd. 40.years.old. Let that sink in.

    Second, you must've forgot that a career cruiserweight Marco Huck used Povetkin as toilet paper in their bout. Can you imagine what Evander Holyfield would do to the overrated Russian? :yikes

    Finally, Evander Holyfield beat Mike Tyson. Twice. This alone shits on Povetkin's entire resume.

    Exactly. Prime Holyfield would take Povetkin's head off.

    Primes is difficult to define. During his actual prime years Povetkin arguably was at his worst. (style inadvisably tinkered around with by Atlas, poorly conditioned etc)<br />
    <br />
    Close match if both at their very best. Goes the diatance. Edge Holy. Subpar version of either changes that.<br />
    <br />
    Povetkin would stop the aging Holyfield, circa the circle jerk for the WBA strap and especially the &quot;WBF champ&quot; era Holy that labored with Botha and was nearly stopped by Tank Williams.

    Difference being neither were anywhere near prime, both Byrd and Donald were 92 Olympians that were nearly 17 years into their careers when Povetkin fought them.

    And Hopkins was 50 when he beat #1 contenders. Your point is? Any version of Holyfield would have been beaten by Byrd.

    Supposed "prime" Holyfield was outboxed and embarrassed by LHW Michael Moorer. And you're bringing up Holyfield wasn't "prime" when he lost to Byrd? Byrd has 10x the HW record that Moorer has so there goes the entire "prime Holyfield" non-sense.

    Quite amazing how someone can fit so much moronic drivel into so few words.

    Of course when matching these two, you're picking the old Holyfield against prime Povetkin. This thread is a joke.:lol:

    you don't just take steroids and magically become an all time great boxer.
