        He beat Tyson by headbutting him to death, that's the high point of his career.
        Overrated IMO.
        You've never seen him fight in his prime, that's how ignorant you are.

          Holyfield fought ATGs, Wlad hasn't even fought HOFers.
          Ruiz has fought HOFers as well, I guess he should be the one cleaning up the division. A division which by the way, is credit to Wlad for making it look so uncompetitive.

          It's easier said than done, cleaning up the HW division at any given time is a huge task, Wlad has obviously mastered this, something which Holy never did.

            I think Holyfield would of gotten his ass whooped by Vitali. That's just me though.

              Holyfield vs Douglas, Holyfield was even faster then Wladimir, watch his fights before you make any judgment.

                Holy is just typical American hype. Everyone loves his "warrior" persona and style of boxing, but the harsh reality is that he was never that good. Certainly never good enough to dominate the HW division the way Wlad is doing now.

                He was tough, sure, but with the right tactics he could have been neutralized with relative ease. Hell, James Toney mopped the floor with him, and Toney's a former middleweight FFS. The quality is just not there, simple.

                  Holy fought in the era of ATGs. There are no ATG heavyweights outside of Wlad and Vitali atm.

                  Ruiz might have fought HoFers, but how many did he beat?

                    Ah, the mighty Buster Douglas. Impressive!

                      I think Holyfield-Vitali would have been a war.
