    Can't see this happening and if it does Wilder would knock Holyfield out. Holy is 51 and last fought 2 1/2 years ago. Wilder would bounce big shots off Holy's head until the ref saves the old guy.

    Even at this stage, Holyfield would shatter his glass jaw.

    Holyfield has something Wilder will never have, an iron chin.

    ...yes but cracks were beginning to finally show when he was last active.

    Tank Williams (himself at 38 years old) had Evander chicken-dancing around the ring and if not for the cut would've dealt the Real Deal his third knockout loss.


    I would be screaming myself hoarse rooting for the old man, but in truth he would get clobbered by a big looping right hand before closing even half the distance to get inside on Wilder. Too much disparity in reach (and Holyfield while still well conditioned for a quintagenarian, lacks the foot speed to cut the ring off quickly, especially given that Wilder can move his big frame around swiftly and is a great deal younger and more athletic), and Holyfield won't be able to handle those bombs like he would have in his thirties or even mid-forties.

    Maybe i am being stupid but i actually think Wilder is quite poor and actually would give Evander a chance of winning ha, imagine if Wilder lost to a 50 year old man 15 years past prime LOL not that i think it should happen Evander i don't think will fight anyway

    You are correct sir.

    But I refuse to picture Deontay knocking Holyfield out, or even stopping him. I can't see the real deal losing to this hypejob, at all... perhaps out of respect for the old man.

    I have mixed feelings about this one, the bad news is that I am rooting for both fighters so one has to lose :verysad

    The good news one will win a title :happy

    WBA is a joke....that title means s.hit when it becomes vacant because the real WBA champion is Wlad. what a bunch of crap. he wont be in the history books as the oldest heavyweight champion unless he actually beats the champion...not some worthless WBA version of a belt..... it has no more worth than a NABF title

    I thought you had personal issues with Chris John cause he schooled the greatest Featherweight from the dirty South, now I think your beef is with the WBA weird ranking system, which is justified :yep

    That said

    Big George didn't beat Tyson or Holy or LL, he went for the weakest link, the same guy TUA KTFO in seconds

    The WBA need to get rid of the 2 champion confusion, I just realized Wlad is also a WBA champion :patsch
