    What's your point? Yes 46 y.o. Holyfield beat Valuev, 15 years after his prime has ended.

    And he was already shot fighter at 38, 16 years as a pro when the trilogy vs Ruiz happened.

    And Vitali won't lose a round to Valuev I think.:yep

    What if there was no standing 8 count? It was the ref's call, and I think a correct one.

    I would pick Evander in a one time meeting with both men at their best. I think he takes a bad beating but toughs it out, to do some damange on the inside with his left hook and right cross, forcing a stoppage from cuts.

    In a series though, I think Vitali would wear the less consistent Holyfield down.

    I think Holyfield could beat both as you say. But I also think that getting in close to do any damage would be a challenge. Both of those guys have long wingspans, good outside fighting games, and can tie a man up pretty good when he gets close. Tall order for the real deal.

    The only time Vitali fought a semi-legit opponent was 38 year old past prime Lennox, and he went life and death and still got stopped. The reason he doesnt drop rounds is because he fights bums. Not because he is anything special

    I like a post Lewis Vitali to beat Evander, prime for prime could be a RSC with Vitali's hand raised or a UD Vitali but the heavy bombs take there toll, Vitali not as easy to hit as Bowe was but does not lean on you like Bowe did so Evander may have more energy but the jabs and right hands of Vitali take there toll

    You know nothing. Vitali fought at least five top ten rated guys post Sanders.

    Holyfield would clown Vitali one sided.

    There are dimensions to these guys and the level between Holy and Vitali is so far apart a little child could see it.

    Holy was one of the best ever. The best ever. Too much heart, aggression, movement, angles and stamina for a one dimensional Vitali.

    Holy was one guy who would expolit Klitschkos wealnessess and technical faults to the fullest.

    Yeah , Vitali and Fritz Sudneck would be no match for the great Eddie Fuch and Bowe who was one of the most complete and skillfull HWs to ever step in the ring:nut

    Sanders won the first 3 and was clowning Vitali before he gassed out and could barely hold up his hands.

    That was the oldest , fattest Sanders in his last ever fight , who was not even a very good fighter in his prime.
