Why did the K's never fight Holyfield

Rahman was a mandatory, who took the place of Povetkin who pulled out. Rahman was the next available ranked contender. Not Wlad's fault

Vitali had to retire with several injuries which required surgery and rehab, that's hardly running.

 

Rahman was sent in by the IBF as Povetkin ducked Wlad. Klitschko didn't handpick Rahman, but the IBF sent him in.

 

How's that egg on your face Eggman?

 

Egg on my face? So what it was a mando. You don't think wlad could have had any sway in this?? He was a replacement.

My point stands. The klitschkos both have no problems fighting old legends when it suits them. You could write a list for both. Holyfield was a lose-lose.

 

Thats what Vitali said.

Yet both of them built their careers off the names of faded Contenders from the 90's era.

Losing by second round KO to a faded perennial contender in Wlads case.:rofl

 

None of these'old legends' were much older than Wlad is now or Vit when he retired, Eggmutt. Only diff is they did not exit as faded and beat up bums like your heroes.

 

:rofl:yep

Funny because its 100% true. Watch those fights again.

Wlad ran for his life against Peter. And he did so much holding , Harlod Ledderman was calling for him to be DQ'd. He couldn't out box a skill-less , plodding , swinging cave man.

Toney out boxed Peter easily laying on the ropes for the entire night.
A faded , old , out of shape , blown up Middle weight Toney to add insult to injury.

But Wlad getting knocked all over the place and had no answer apart from excessive mauling and grappling.

Thats the 'prime' Wlad who would beat Fury in one roundrofl

 

Holyfield was Wlads age against Lewis and he put more effort into one round than Wlad put into the entire 12 against Fury.
Thats heart . Wlad never had none.

 

This. Beating Holyfield's corpse would have added nothing to their resume's except for the name.

 

Anybody who thinks Holyfield had anything left in the tank for either Klitschko at that stage of his career needs their head read. They would have sent him to the morgue. Prime Holy ... a different story.

 

Holyfield was shot against Lewis, K2 had no business fighting him and I'm glad they didn't.

 

Holyfield was 36.5, not 39 and had only 39 fights, not 67. As for more effort, your opinion. Anyway.. :hi:

 

And Holyfield endured more combat in those 39 fights than Wlad did in his 67.

 

That's because Wlad hit way way harder as his 80 KO% demonstrates, and Vitali. 87% KO's. Highest in history. :hi:


:rofl Half that 39 were cw fights. :rofl
