    I got to go with commander Vander. He would be the guy who could get in past that that jab and land good combos. Holy was not a Tysonesque puncher, but he had power, and would rattle the big man. Nor would Wladdy be able to turn it around with one punch, since Holy had an incredible chin and iron will. The longer the fight goes, the more it favors Holyfield with the amazing stamina.

    But I could see go the other way too. I like Wlad and think he is moving up, but he has a lot to prove before we talk about him beating Holyfield just yet.

    Lewis's win over Vitali trumps anything on Wlad's resume by a mile.

    Wlad is a very good heavyweight, but to try to claim that he is better than Lewis is just folly..... based on what exactly?

    He dominates opponents with his jab very well, but really an ATG (as many of his fans claim) ought to be blasting out the likes of Ibragimov, Thompson and an old-ass Rahman.

    I would go with Klitschko. 6 7" vs 6 2". I love Evanders heart and desire but just think Wlad is just to big and that right hand is devastating. Holyfield had problems with Lewis; he will have probs with Wlad.
