    Who wins this? Holyfield had his problems with big men that had good jabs and knew how to use reach/range. Could Fury deal with Evander once he got on the inside? Could Holyfield overcome Fury's awkward yet effective style?

    Just can't see how Evander gets close enough, often enough to win this...

    Agreed. I think Fury would be feinting and snapping that jab enough to give Holyfield fits in this

    No one is beating Fury except maybe a prime Mike Tyson if he can get to the body often enough.

    Fury is definitely no joke man. Many people talk smack about him but the guy is good.

    Holyfield was inconsistant but fought wars with everyone top ranked fighter. Fury has no big resume,only Wlad. Who knows who would win because one fight with Wlad is a totally different type of fight from a count puncher /pressure fighter like Holyfield who will take a punch to land one. If i could use the holy who fought Lewis he knocks Fury out,if he got to Lewis he will get to Fury who isnt Lewis.

    You all are either a bunch of Brits or smoking some seriously high grade crack. Prime Evander makes Fury look like the sideshow he is and knocks him out in 8.

    Fury would make Vander quit on his stool between rounds 4 and 5.

    Holyfield was a tough fight for anybody. I don't think I ever saw anybody "easily" beat him.

    That said the Fury we saw vs Wlad was a mobile fighter with a huge wingspan, and I can see him posing problems for a very many HW's.

    THAT said, Holyfield throws more than 5 punches a round :hey:
