    wlad would have sticky moments in the opening rounds where it looks like it could be disaster but by the 5th or so he gets into his grove and he keeps holyfield off with his jab and straight punches.as good as holyfield was,he didn't excel against the opponent most resembling wlad: lewis.wlad doesn't take as many risks as lewis did in their 1st fight either meaning less opportunites for evander.klitschko is simply too big and strong for holyfield's inside tactics to work efectively and as tough and ironwilled as evander was, the usual punishment and fatigue that wlad's opponents suffer would set in and he'd be decisioned.i know it hurts some people but believe it or not wladimir doesn't lose every fantasy match-up.there are heavies that beat wlad...holyfield just isn't one of them.

    In terms of reflexes and upper body movement?

    Better footwork and good toe :rofl, what good was upper body movement when Haye doesnt know how to get inside and Evander would get inside, thats the difference.

    Well its an insult to put Holyfield in same sentence with Haye, Adamek, Sosnowski Chambers etc so it goes both ways.

    And Wlad struggled with the likes of Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster ! I guess your impressed by the way they have dominated bums !! Holyfield is an hall of famer when's the last time either of the brothers faced a hall of famer ? Oh I know when Vitali faced an out of shape Lewis and lost :good

    What a weak response :lol:

    :yep Styles make fights my man . And I see you clearly don"t understand this . PS the healthy VLAD made easy work with BREW . just like he was doing in the first fight before the nasty **** happened . ( and that nasty **** had nothing to do with anything BREW did in the ring ) :deal :D VAD beats any version of LARRY . and does it easy .:good

    Prime Evander would eventually get inside on Wlad, work him, and stop him. Wlad's jab-rare straight right-grab routine works against more limited fighters, but would not work against Evander.

    I agree, but not that early KO . Probably KO 10 or 11

    It would go very similar to Holy-Lennox, with the judges hopefully wearing glasses.

    Ok, some of you must forget what the heavies from the 80-90s, early 2000s were like. I don't watch heavies these days because they fuking suck. The odd time I catch a Wlad clip I can't but help shake my head how bad he his. The klits are horrible and only win because they have no legit competition. They're slow, clumsy *******s with questionable chins. Holyfield would tear Wlads head off.
