It would confirm that today's HWs (outside of the Klits) are trash, Holyfield is pushing 50 and was considered shot 10 yrs ago.
Bull****, a past prime Holyfield gave Lewis Hell. Lewis was far better than Wlad, he was versatile, didn't panic and had decent inside fighting ability, as he hurt both Holy and Tyson inside with short uppercuts, something Wlad can NOT do.
Most of them shot, and he is 1-1 against a LHW that got KOed by Tua in 1 rd and by 45 yo Foreman :rofl
Just like Foreman winning THE HW championship at 45 years old confirmed the 90s fighters as trash, right? BTW, did the schooling Ibragimov gave Holyfield a few years back confirm anything to you or did you just sweep it under the rug? :deal
If Evander would beat Povetkin he would be top contenders of Klitchkos championship. So I would not see any problem, him fighting against Wlad at that point
There's no point in old men fighting current top HWs. I'd pay good money to see Holy vs Lewis one last time though. Old legends should fight eachother, if they still want to get in the ring.
They forget the things they want too. As an amateur Chagaev beat Ibragimov easy and Chagaev has just lost to Povetkin. So if every thing is onn the level Povetkin can beat Holyfield with one hand IMO.
Neither Povetkin nor Holyfield have a chance vs. Wlad. It's quite irrelevant who wins. Having said that, Holyfield himself has no chance of being Povetkin. This will be a simple, lopsided UD12 win for Povetkin and another easy journeyman payday for Evander.
This is a major re-write of history. Forman was shot? He went in to regain the title. Holmes was shot? He jus tbeat Mercer. Moorer was shot? He was in his twenties. Tyson was shot? Holy is older than he is. Bowe was shot? He was in his twenties. As for lossing to Moorer, he had a heart attack, in case you don't know.
I'm torn. On one hand, I'd like to see Evander win a **** ton of cash, pay off all his baby mammas and the IRS and be able to retire in peace, as a legend. That seems like something he deserves for his contributions to the sport and the damage hes taken and given. On the other hand, Wlad is going to KO him almost certainly and that is the last thing Holy needs is another massive KO.
