    Holy outclasses either of them.

    That's why he asked the question for both even if the poll is flawed.

    I think Holyfield would stop Wladimir late and take a close UD / SD over Vitali.

    He'll KO Wlad for sure. For Vitali I don't know. It should be a close match anything can happen. Just for the people that voted Klit by KO. This is the guy that took everything from Tyson a little bit past his prime. He is not getting KOed by the bros

    Holyfield and it's not even close, the Klitschos are so ridiculously 1 dimensional and static they would get ktfo within 6

    Prime Holyfield was stopped only by Bowe in a war, and it was prime Holy only if you forget about his hepatisis. I wonder what makes you think they would be able to KO Holy. I hope it is not their safety-first style or using jab as primary weapon.

    IMO Holy has at least good chance against both of them. He had quite good footwork and counterpunching, so it may be a problem to keep him at safe distance for 12 rounds. Even ageing Holyfield was competitive in rematch against prime Lewis (the closest in size and style to Klitschkos).

    I agree with this. Vitali would give a tougher fight but I think Holyfield is just a little too able to get inside for Vitali to edge him on the cards. I may make jokes but I don't believe that many fighters could have out-boxed Vitali from the outside. You'd have to be very upper level guys. Lewis, Holmes, Ali. Those guys. But I think Evander has the ability to come inside and make it hell on Vitali and definitely Wladimir. I don't think of the brothers as being as similar as most do, save for the fact that neither is comfortable inside and will always struggle to keep fights at distance.

    Prime Evander was outboxed and battered by Moorer, who wasn't even trying in the early rounds. Wlad and Vitali are two levels above Moorer. Evander had tons of heart, if he could get an opponent to fight his type of fight, he was great but the Klitschkos are masters at using their height and reach and excecuting their gameplan. Evander doesn't have the power to win a fight with one or a few punches and I don't see him outboxing either brother.

    First of all, holy was robbed against Moorer, his knockdown in the early rounds wasnt counted proberly, had they done that he could have gotten at least a draw.
    It was also in this fight he had heart problems. To see how he really would fight against Moorer, look at the rematch they had in 97.
    Nuff said.
    An old Holy was still good enough to give Lewis all kind of trouble, and as we all know lewis is classes above the klits...

    Holyfield would stop Wladimir and probably beat Vitaly by decision.

    Anything can happen but Holi is not getting KOed! The only fighter close to his caliber one of them fought is Lewis. Evander is an ATG for a reason. Too bad there no real HWs now to test the Bros

    I love the idiots with the "easily" and "not even close" replies for the Holyfield wins. Typical trolls.

    Nobody in history would *EASILY* win 10/10 fights against Wlad nor Vitali. Both can be beat, but you don't walk into the ring 10 times with either brother and KO him 10 out of 10 times without going through hell and back.
