Holyfield was and will always be a fucking machine. If you look up tough sob in the dictionary you will see a picture of Holyfield next to it. This guy in his prime seemed numb to pain. He was something else and he was always in excellent shape. I see him wearing down Vitali late.
Oh man! Dont make a thread that has me thinking about being able to watch a "prime" Holyfield again! I swear prime Holy never had a boring fight. How can you not love watching the little guy beating up on the big boys? Damn...one of my favorite fights to watch when he was prime. As far as this fight, its hard to say. I can see how either guy can win, but the X factor is how Vitali would do with that level of fighter. He only got to fight at the top level against Lennox, but Lennox was past it at that point. So we never got to see how good Vitali really is. But we know how good Holy was. All I know is that this would be an amazing fight.
Vitali's size could be a big problem for Holyfield, he had trouble dealing with the size of Bowe and Lewis but Vitali's tendency to trade instead of box could play into Holyfield's hands.
hmm, If vitali had u hurt he would turn to a mad man and finish u off but Evander wasn't one to get hurt. If it turns into a boxing match I go with Holifield and a brawl with Vitali. Now Holifield was a very smart fighter, but so was lewis and Vitali would've win that fight is it wasn't for the stoppage.
I'd say either Vitali very late ko, or Holified dcn close ud
