    similar abilities, similar competition, who wins?
     
  2. In their primes? Holmes UD12. The jab is too long and snappy for Wlad's paw paw paw routine.

    I guess it´s a hard one to call! Could go either way. I can see Wlad winning a close UD or a late KO. Holmes could also give WK a KO but not a decision imho.

    No Haye-nuthuggers and nostalgia people by now? Wow

    Edit: Why didn´t you make up a poll?

    Holmes had a great chin in his prime, see Holmes/Shavers for further proof. So that means he would probably hang in there with Wlad. Like Vitali, Holmes would break down his oppenents through 15 rounds of jabbing, good footmovement, and solid right hand. Wlad got a better punch and is physically bigger, but Wlad's questionable stamina and lack of toughness in hard fights will come out to shine in this one.

    If it was 12 round fight, I would say Holmes 7 rounds to 5. If were talking 15, Wlad gets TKO'd by the 14th or Holmes takes it 10 rounds to 5.

    considering how close this fight looks it says volumes about both men.

    Hmmm....
    I'd go with Holmes. The over all better boxer and the better jab, plus over all movement and chin. Don't know what would happen on the inside.. Neither of them like it. But man, this would be a boring fight if they both stuck to their game planes.
    Holmes TKO/KO, based on Wlad's chin ;)
