Nonsense. Bowe did the most damage to Holyfield on the inside with an uppercut that nearly took him off his feet. On the outside he slipped and angled his way thru most of Bowe's offence before landing in bunches. Wlad couldn't tie up Sanders , how is he going to tie up Holy? He also never demolished any half decent fighter from the outside with ease , let alone an ATG technician like Holyfield. You're posting like a delusional fanboy.
Holyfield was a danger to Wlad, in fact Wlad would duck Holyfield even when he was 50. We all knwo that an over the hill holyfield would still obliterate Wlad or Vitali. In prime vs prime, Klitschko would last about 2 rounds if Holyfield showed up 3 rounds late.
Klittards are laughable. Wlad has never faced anyone anywhere near the level of Holyfield, absolutely nowhere near by a million miles. Wlad couldn't KO blown up Middleweight Chris Bryd, glass jawed clown David Haye and took till the 12th round to KO fat little Eddie Chambers, but these morons think he is going to KO a supremely skilled, iron chinned, lion-hearted warrior like Holyfield. Wlad has however been KTFO by guys of the level that, if lucky, Holyfield might use as sparring partners.
Once Holyfield gets on the inside, Wlad is finished. As polished as Wlad is, he's a one dimensional fighter who is only comfortable with distance. Holy was complete and could fight in any style.
Right, and what's Holyfield going to do when Wlad ties him down :deal Nothing. Holyfield is heavily outmatched against Wlad. He can't headbutt him, his inside game is worthless and Holyfield's defense isn't good enough to survive from the outside. Holyfields only chance would be to gas out Wlad after taking insane punishment from him, then TKO him late. It's a possible gameplan but an unlikely outcome.
Where was Holyfield a complete fighter? When has he *EVER* boxed another style than his trademark 'head-in-first rush inside'? When? When was he ever competitive in a HW fight from the outside? When? Holyfield is as one-dimensional as they get.
Yeah the inside game is probably the reason I think Evander stops Wlad late. Evander had a great inside game and could really hit the body for a heavyweight. also use the body shot to set up his great left hook.
Klitscho is too tall for Evander. Give Holyfield another 10 inches height, and he whips that Roid'ed azz.
Wlad has plenty of fighters on his resume that would give Holy a scare. Holy has been outboxed - Wlad has not. If Wlad can hit Holy with a good left hook or straight right then Holy could be counted out. If Bowe can do it, Wlad can do it (especially when Wlad is a heavier hitter than Bowe).
Does Wlad have more power than Foreman cause Holy took everything Foreman threw at him and kept on coming. I'm not saying Wlad can't hurt him but to say that as soon as Wlad touches Holy he's getting hurt is ridiculous.
