    Im not even sure they beat a 2003 Holyfield. Holys just a more complete fighter.

    Not at all no....but I don't see it being easy for either Klit or for Holy either as is being indicated. Holy gave prime Lewis trouble, VITLAY gave shot Lewis trouble.

    WALDO never fought anyone of significance that we can use as a yardstick here but we have to take his dominance over mostly crap into account and also we have to take his embarrassing defeats into account too. Holyfield had his fair share of embarrassing defeats too back in the day as I'm sure you remember.

    All I'm doing is mocking the idiots on both sides that suggest it wouldn't be competitive because it darn well would be.

    I'm on the fence on this one. Waldo could beat Holy like Lewis did sure but he doesn't have the chin of Lewis but he does have comparable skills, sort of. VITLAY doesn't have the heart but has the size advantage yet he can be hurt....Holy has answers to both Klits strengths and the Klits have answers to Holys strengths, it's an interesting match.

    You actually count that as a decent victory. How desperate can you be?

    I think you've hit on an interesting point, namely would it be a brawl on the inside the way it was with Bowe, or would Wlad make it an outside type of fight where he could use his size more effectively?

    That is a very fair answer. That's why I said Wlad by late KO/TKO & Vitali by wide decision. I didn't say both by early brutal knockout because Holy has a great chin & a lot of experience.

    If the fight is fought on the inside Holy would beat Wlad but still lose to Vitali. VK is a good inside fighter, Wlad isn't. The problem is, I don't see Holy getting inside and staying there against Wladimir unless it turns into an all out brawl, which Wlad wouldn't let happen.
