I have never read through a Wlad/Holy prime vs prime thread without Holy getting at least 70% of the votes. As of now the poll is essentially even. Apparently the brainwashing must be wearing off or the usual percentages will fall into place when the Brits wake up and lick the taste of the previous nights forray of warm beer and fried fish off their putrid teeth and gums. It is still funny to read the truly indoctrinated go on about how easily Holy would win. The guy never won any fights of consequence easily even in his prime but I am somehow supposed to belived he would start with Wlad?
Holyfield would beat Wlad on the inside ,do you honestly think Holyfield is going to stay at the end of those punches ..Wlad doesn't have the foot work to stay away from Evander ,Holyfield is to much of a boxer for Wlad ..Just watch Holyfield in the 2nd fight against LL ..And that was a fade Holyfield .
Wlad pretty easily, even though Holyfield is a tough hombre, and one of my favorite fighters. He would just get torn to part by jabs, and then KO'ed with a straight right around 6.
Wlad wins by decision but easily wins every round. Pretty much like the first Lewis-Holyfield fight but much more one-sided. Wlad is way, way too fast for Holyfield, who could never cope with mobile,athletic fighters. The closeness of the voting shows how blinded by biase/bigotry a lot of ESB voters are.
The Holyfield from the second Lewis fight stops Wlad the constant jabs to the body had Lewis badly gassed HolyField slows Wlad down with a body attack then knocks him out, Also Holy Field is American so the fight would be in the US Wlads defense relies on having a referee who does not know the rules of boxing and allows him to hold at will
You haven't a clue....Wlad is way too fast for Holyfield? lmfao..Put up a round on youtube showing Wlad throwing fast combinations. Holyfield was far more mobile than Wlad...Wlad has to set his feet to throw shots. He cant throw on the move or on the backfoot. Holy had the footwork to come slipping jabs, at angles ,side to side , up and under. He had too many dimensions in his game to be beaten by a simple 1-2 artist with no adaptabily , no plan B, poor stamina and a weak chin.
Holyfield had fought a similar opponent in Lennox Lewis, but wlad hits harder and most importantly, he's way more active, he hits a lot more. Holyfield, on the other hand, was a very little heavyweight, with scarse power; he couldn't even ko Lennox's glass chin, even if he had he hurt throughout the entire fight. So the uotcome could be only Wlad decision or even Wlad ko/tko.
Wlads power is irrelevant unless he is fighting a fighter with the movement or threat of a heavy bag, He is to timid to get his hands go :think
Took him 4 to stop Mormeck 12 to stop Chambers could not stop Haye but he will KO Holy in 6 :rofl It woukd be close fight but dont act like Evander isnt level above anyone Wlad ever faced...
Shows how clueless you are. When Bowe looked good vs. Holyfield it wasn't on the inside, but from mid- and long range. Bowe landed on Holyfield at will. Wlad would demolish Holyfield with ease from the outside and simply tie him down on the inside. This would be a one-sided mismatch.
Wlad had never fought anyone like the quality of Holyfield, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
