    Survive what? When has Wlad ever survived a hard fought fight? Do you mean 4 round fighter Sam Peter?....If he had only half of Holys skill and workrate , Wlad would of been ko'd....

    It's fairly obvious Holyfield would win by stoppage in a fairly one-sided fight. Prime Holyfield had the head movement, heart, and chin necessary to get inside on Wlad's straight headhunt punching style, and unlike the majority of Wlad's opposition, Holyfield would actually throw punches when he got there. Wlad would probably put his clinch game on as best as he could, but Holyfield would be wearing him down on the inside constantly and Wlad just wouldn't be able to hold up under the onslaught. Holyfield by mid-rounds stoppage.

    I would say it is not one sided, but Holyfield with a proper coach and tactics should win by a KO, TKO

    Wlad KO's Holyfield.


    The yanktards here who can't stand the fact America has NO top level heavyweights in the current era make me laugh. Current prime Wlad would DESTROY any heavyweight in history. Fact.

    I hear this "XYZ just has to land a single punch on Wlad - eventually he will - then it's game over" over and over again. Always the same simplistic bull****.

    Is that all you can muster up analysis-wise? This is ridiculous.

    I don't think a blown up light HW can beat Waldo. Repeat of Lewis vs Holyfield 2.

    this is what everybody said haye would do, same with all past wlad contenders, all they need is land that 1 punch but its not as simple as that, i give tyson a better chance than holyfield as he throws faster, has better head movement and throws better combos, that is what you need to beat wlad, being able to stay inside throw fast combos. If holyfield fights the way he fought in lewis v holy 1 he will lose, however when he does throw the combos, and the uppercut he can be effective can he do it for long periods though, and how will he deal with wlads size, this will wear him down.

    i can see wlads jab more snappy quicker than lewis jab keeping holyfield off balance, i can see holyfield struggling to get inside and wlads superior footwork prevailing. I think holyfield struggles, even prime holyfield, he does struggle with the bigger guys that impose their size on him.

    i think it depends on whos the referee, if the ref doesn't break it up and tells them fight it out when wlad holds, then of course it would give holyfeld an advantage and i can see holyfeld will have his moments, but i still believe wlads ability to use his range will be the factor and after 5 or 6 rounds when you feel the powerful quick jab and right, i can see holyfield tiring just like against lewis.

    But Holyfield with the right tactics does have a chance he can win, but he will have to go thorugh hell, even with holyfields immense heart i just cant see him surviving. out of three i can see wlad winning 2-1

    this fight is difficult to analyse,
     
  12. Holyfield on Roids aka Evan fields would give wladimir problems fo sho.

    Holy could box on the outside and close distance and in-fight like
    a mo-fo. How could Wlad win this one? I think Wlad would be competitive
    on the outside but Holy made his career getting inside. Wlad's clinching
    wouldn't work on a prime Holy, he'd work through that. Holy breaks him
    down and stops him.

    Holyfield never coped well with the Russian style. Look what Ibragimov did to him. Victory for Klitschko here, possibly by stoppage.
