    Wlad lost to Brewster, what makes you think he'd win against the great Holyfield.

    Holyfield is just a blown up cruiser he has no chance, Wlad's just far to big. Something like that is how the fight would have been seen had it have been made two decades ago with Holyfield after being defeated being called a **** opponent like Ibragimov by the typical ESB forum member.

    People harping on how the greater fighter will win... the stupidity alone gives me a headache.
    If that thinking would hold true how the **** did Hearns lose twice vs Barkley?

    Styles + physical attributes dictate fights, not who has the better resume.

    Facts are that Holyfield is too small, not quick enough, does not hit hard enough to trouble Wlad on single shot basis.
    Wlads attributes having a reach/height/speed advantage, with a ATG jab means he can keep Holyfield on the outside the entire fight if he wants too and just clinch him if he does get too close.

    Holyfields heart or ATG standing or not on trial here, but if you want to design a fighter that gives Holyfield nightmares it would actually be Wlad.

    And for the few people that are going to mention Bowe, Bowe was a big man that fought as a INSIDE fighter completely forfeiting his height/reach/weight advantage.

    This fight is either a super wide UD or a late stoppage due to Holyfield taking way too much punishment.

    Wlad got ktfo by a part-time semi-pro golfer as well as losing to journeymen.

    Holy fought & beat better competition, he achieved a whole lot more & looked better doing it.

    Looking very similar to the lewis rematch.

    Holy has some success due to his movement and speed advantage but ultimately he spends most of the fight on the end of wlad's jab.

    You forget, like all past champions, Holyfield had disappeaing and recurring skills. He lost to Bowe and fans said "his skills are gone!" He beats Bowe in a rematch and fans said "his skills are back!" He loses to Moorer, "his skills are gone!"
    He beats Mercer, "his skills are back!" He loese to Bowe again, "his skills are gone!" He beats Tyson, "his skills are back!" ect, ect, ect..........

    Holyfields headbutt was in impressive weapon.

    I dont buy general statements about heart and the readiness to take risks.

    You take risks against Wladdy he clocks you harder than you have ever been clocked before.

    It boils down to if Wladdy can establish his offence. His accuracy and speed. I think he would be able to.
