    Holyfield could probably give VK a tougher fight now than half of the fighters he has defended against in his prime he wins it wide on the cards.

    Holyfield wouldnt last 4 rds with Vitali today. If you didnt see the fight with Sherman Williams...Oldy looked every bit of his 48 yrs old.

    I did see it and yes Holyfield is way past his peak my point is Vitals defences have been against pretty poor fighters and Evander can still do as much or more in a challenge than those guys.

    :rofl okay. it could be from exhaustion too. or who knows, holy was so accurate and precise with his punching maybe he could drop vitali. he did drop iron chinned fighters in the past so why not vitali

    Depends which Holy shows up really. The best version of Holy would beat the best version of VITLAY, but the best version of VITLAY is more likely to show up than the best version of Holy.

    Voted for Holy though, assuming he turns up at his best, because at his best he was brilliant.

    Vitali would handle Evander at least as well as Lewis did.

    If big boys like Lewis and Bowe could do it I think Vitali pulls it out

    He is big strong iron chinned and throws at a high volume and has a wide punch assortment

    Holyfield was tenacious but also fought in spurts during those breaks Vitali would fire away

    Guys this short and small are the guys Vitali can easily man handle

    Holyfield is one of my all time favorites. I wonder how Vitali Adamek would turn out.

    Vitali would beat Evander easier than Lennox did simply because Vitali was more active.

    Both Vitali and Lennox are just awful matchups for Evander.

    I really like Adamek big fan since Briggs bouts loved the Cunningham fight

    he is impressive at this weight class but I feel he is just too out gunned

    the guys got heart guts and speed and ability but I think its not enough but he will fight and not quit unlike Kevin Johnson

    He like fellow pole Sosnowski will fight with guts and try to beat the big man or be KO'd trying
