    Ugh, bad night for Evander. He would probably put Wlad on the ropes once or twice in the early rounds, but lose a lopsided decision...lol wait, who are the judges?

    He gave a better account of himself in the rematch. Evander was already getting even more inconsistent at this stage of his career. I think a fight with Vitali would be interesting.

    Close fight. Holyfield past his prime could give Lewis a very close fight in the 2nd bout and I consider Lewis and Wlad on the same level.

    If you thought the Evander-Ruiz fights were boring this one would be a jab and tie up fight, Evander would let his hands go but more than likely get caught and dropped

    Wlad is allowed to break the rules of boxing every 10 seconds ?
    Then yes, he wins...

    lol jk
    I´m actually a bit serious though, I would go with Holyfield if the ref was a good one...(Holyfield could be dirty too as we all know, with his head and all, but not so much like Wlad was in the last night)

    Depends.

    Do the judges include Eugenia Williams and Larry O'Connell ?

    get the **** outta here. Holyfield is 10x better than anyone Wladimir's fought and he'd take Wladimir out. Chris Byrd didn't have the right style. Sam Peter had too crude of an approach and just head hunting. Eddie Chambers was too small. etc.

    I see Holyfield catching him early with a quick, nicely timed straight right after a feint or jab to the body, and then whaling away with both hands, short hooks to the body and head, right hands, right uppercuts will meet Wladimir if he's bending his torso down, eventually the ref stops it. if the ref doesn't stop it, Holyfield surely would.

    Depends. I think Evander fought better in the rematch. I could see Wlad outboxing him for the most part from the outside, but Evander is a better combination puncher than anyone Wlad has fought and once Evander got going with the combos Wlad would have done that thing where he sticks his neck out and been in some trouble. He probably finds a way to clinch before more times than not though.
