At least Evander looks to be in pretty good shape these days and this fight shouldn't be too difficult for him to win. Kinda sad to see him still having to fight these days, but it is what it is.
Holyfield is ancient and has been inactive for a long time. But even an older, over the hill Evander has too much for the long gone Botha. Holyfield by decision.
It is safe to say that Holyfield is on par with the current WBA champion, but even if Holyfield was to defeat Botha and the winner of the Haye-Ruiz fight, he would still have to defeat both Klitschko brothers in order to unify the division. Seems like a long shot, right? Not so fast, we have already seen that when both Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko step into the ring they tend to fight way to cautious with opponents that they obviously outclass, and could put on the canvas just about anytime they would like. This method works when fighting the likes of Cristobal Arreola and Eddie Chambers, but if applied to an opponent with the knowledge and body of ring work such as Evander Holyfield, and it could spell disaster for either of the Klitschkos’ who really have not been tested in recent years.
