Based on what? Losing 2/3 against Bowe and 2/2 against Lewis? Holy's resume vs. super HWs is fairly poor.
Prime Holy dances around toy with him then KO him around round 8, too fast too slick, solid chin and also had the power to crack Wlad china
Last time I seen prime Holyfield he was all but out on his feet vs 26-7-0 Burt Cooper. And as I remember the socalled "bum" Sanders annihilated Cooper easy. So how far back does that push Holyfield?:yep
Basically. The current Wlad is a serious force to be reckoned with. Many are too stubborn to mention him in the same sentence as the other HW greats. But the guy is damn effective and good at winning boxing matches.
If people don't think a Prime Holyfielkd couldn't make Wlad look foolish like Haye did, you don't know **** about boxing, the only difference is Holyfield wouldn't be afraid to mix it up when the time presented itself
And that what its all about! Haters dont want them compared to their past heros cause fighters from Eastern Europe couldnt turn pro until the 90's, and as soon as could, they showed us who was the best really were. And it wasnt Ali or Tyson or Holmes. Those guys were only the best because they fought under the protection of the Berlin Wall......But it's gone now.......
Today's Wlad beat prime Holyfield and probably ends his carrier in a prolong beating. Same as LL would have beat him much more convincingly had he fought him any smarter, kept the distance and moved more.
You fool! I watch the fight in person! Holyfield got hurt and started running from the little bum Cooper like a half stoned junky running from his dealer..
I think Holyfield had the right blend of toughness and persistance to beat Wlad down for a late stoppage.
stopped watching at 3 min. those guys were figting too fast. Heavyweights should not move like that because they will get all tired and gas out by the next round. whats that? you saying they continued to fight at that pace?
