    What if Wlad faces Holyfield next?

    Considering that many of the top HWs are ducking him, there aren't many decent HWs that Wlad can fight that he hasn't already beaten. Holyfield beat Valuev as we all know, and still has some name, so what would you think if Wlad fought him?

    wlad already said before that he will never fight holyfield because of all the respect he has for him. He knows he can beat holyfield with one hand, he knows it's a mismatch, he doesnt want to punish the legend.

    dont hold your breath for this fight.

      I know it would be a mismatch, but with Povetkin and Haye ducking him and Adamek with a fight lined-up for November, who else is there? They're talking about Tua and Mormeck, well Holyfield is much more accomplished than those guys and they're all equally past it. I would prefer Holyfield over someone like Dimitrenko or something.

        We already have 2 joke defences of HW titles coming up. We don't need a third.

            He would be better off fighting Chagaev or Thompson again. Holyfield doesn't need to get battered by somebody who dwarfs him. He is already severely punch drunk. A KO loss to Wlad could well end up destroying any chance he has of a decent retirement.

              I would have to disagree at this current time there are not a lot of Hws who could beat Briggs,Haye Harrison is a joke though.

                Any more on the Adamek fight? I thought he was free.

                  if that was 10 years ago, then yeah. But who knows? Foreman did it back then so why not Holyfield? Even if Wlad has too much respect for him not to fight Holyfield, why not Vitali instead?
