**1992 Evander Holyfield vs 2010 Wladimir Klitschko**

Yea, that's my thing, what if Evander starts connecting with bombs on Wlad's chin....

[Pirao]

Keep in mind Evander isn't that small. He's 6'2 1/2 with a 77" reach, Brewster has the same height and reach although Brewster is bigger. If Wladimir had trouble with Brewster, he will have his hands full with Evander who was really skilled and fast during his prime.

Wlad handled Brewster in both fights very well, only he gassed in the 1st fight. Now, Evander is much more skilled than Brewster, but I still think Wlad would get the job done, something like 7-5 or 8-4 win for Wladimir. And this is 2010 Wlad we're talking about, not 2004.

Rid**** Bowe was a very good insider fighter, Wladimir is not. Unlike most heavyweights today, Evander will get to Wladimir's chin constantly.

This ^^

Bowe was great on the inside vs Holyfield in the first fight.

I got Wlad by decision but could easily go either way!

[Tiozzo]

Wlad couldn't handle Evander when he would start to open up and attack Wlad.

I have Evander by KO/TKO before 6.

But it is a fact that someone with a good jab could give Evander a lot of trouble (like Moorer, Lewis and Bowe did). But Wlad doesn't have the inside fighting skills or the trading ability Bowe had.

I also want to point out that Lou Duva prepared Holyfield to deal with a boxer who uses his range. Duva and Holyfield expected Bowe to use the jab and fight at a distance, Holyfield never expected Bowe to be that good of a inside fighter, not to mention Bowe had one hell of a chin.

Wladimir fights within distance he never fights within his opponents range. Holyfield would get to Wladimir's chin. That simple 1 2 that Wladimir does against most his opponents will not work. The question is can Wladimir fight in the inside effectively and does he have the chin to take Holyfield's punishment?

I don't think that's the best Evander. I'd prefer the slightly heavier version. He carried a bit more power.

[Tiozzo]

Wlad can't handle this:

[Boxing Scene]

It would be hard, and I repeat, very hard for Holyfield to get past Wlad's jab. I don't see him doing it.

It's like I always say when these threads pop up - could Wladimir have handled the sort of intensity Holyfield would have brought? We saw an older Evander give Lewis a few problems. This fantasy fight is very hard to judge. I'd still pick Holyfield as he proved himself against the best.
