    Prime Holyfield vs Wladimir Klitschko

    Could Evander get inside and make good use of what Lennox Lewis called the hardest body shots he has ever taken. Or would Wlad to to Evander what he has done to everyone else the last few years. Please note, I am not talking about Holyfeild now, prime Holyfeild vs the current version of Wlad.

    Prime Holyfield definitely gets inside on Wlad consistently, I don't think Wlad is capable of discouraging Holyfield, Evander by late stoppage.

      Holyfield in the middle rounds. Klitschko has a good strong jab but a very poor defence and Evander, prime Evander was exceedingly difficult to discourage, he moved his head and sent out feeler jabs then he rolled under punches to get inside and break his opponent apart. I see him as being a superior fighting force to Wlad, more fighting spirit, more of a repertoire.

        If Holyfield could **** with a prime Bowe he would ko Wlad in my opinion,Vitali would be interesting though.

          Holyfield couldn't get inside on Wladdy.

          And even if he did, Wladdy is the king of holding on the inside.

          Klitschko by dominant k.o victory in the later rounds. It would take him a while to soften Evander up.

          Either bro beats Evander.

            It could go either way. I'd give Holyfield the slight edge. Wlad has lost 3 fights to weak opposition but not for quite a few years. Holyfield lost, in my opinion, a total of four fights vs Bowe and Lewis, only coming out on top once...in the second Bowe fight.

            It's a difficult fight for both guys, but I'd give Holyfield the edge, with the help of his best offensive weapon - the headbutt.

                Thats the problem with current Heavyweights nowadays who are shorter than the Klits. They are either too-fat to bob and wave under a punch to slip it and come in or they just dont know how to and let that jab smack their face. The heavyweights back in the day knew how to get inside better and do their work when they are there. Some HWs get in the inside and fail todo anything. but yeah I pretty much think Evander in his prime would def beat Klit. Those heavyweights were tough, full of heart, skill and work ethic and always in shape.

                    I don't see how Evander wouldn't get inside on Wlad. Don't confuse old Holyfield with prime Holyfield, prime Evander came to **** and could not be stopped. He knew the tricks to get to a fighter despite a massive reach disadvantage, he had to considering he was always the smaller man.
