worse & why & which brother is vulnerable to Holyfield & capable of being outsmarted by him? I know my answer to this... what's yours?

Ok... i'll get the ball rolling.... I think Wladimir has the capability of coming unglued vs Holyfield.... I think we might even see a repeat of Wlad/Peter I where he was fighting in panic mode for much of the fight knowing there's a heavyweight across from him who's more experienced.. more battle tested & is known for his heart galore.. He's going to respect Holyfield more than he should & even be more hesitant than he was vs Haye... knowing Holyfield's past accomplishments... one good rush vs Wlad without succesful holding will see to that.
Against Vitali.. Holyfield will have to be hit with ******* GUARANTEED.. he's going to have to find a way inside & when he does make Vitali pay.... with Vitali it's going to have to be a shot heard round the world.. can;t be combos.. has to be a Buster Douglas like counter.. very tall order but if it;s his last fight assuming he fought Wlad first ( i think Wlad gets him first because it'd be more of a sell with the glass jaw angle) & it's for all the marbles & the whole world tuning in.. anything crazy can happen.Comment

Evander could handle the big opponents. He fought on pretty much even terms in five bouts against a prime Lewis and a prime Bowe, both of whom I hold superior to either Klitscho. Prime Wlad vs prime Holyfield- Holyfield kos him in 9 with Wlad ahead on the cards. Wlads weak chin fails him and he can't grab and hold a fighter like Evander all night. Prime Vitali vs prime Holyfield- Holy field 115-113, and Evander has to win rounds 10,11,and 12 convincingly to get the nod. However the Klitscho brothers of today both beat him easily. Evander, you're loved and respected worldwide but your time has come and went. Please retire for good while your health is goodComment

Jimmy the whole premise behind this fight even happening is ridiculous but i will say this if you ever had a chance to see any of a prime Evander Holyfield's fights I would bet on him over both Klitschko's. Current Holyfield would be embarrassingly stopped by either guy.Comment

I'd actually give wladamir a better chance against holy**** than vitali. Wladamir has a better jab, right cross and is more accurate with his punches, not to mention his speed. Vitali is too sloppy to give evander to much trouble, but either way I'd have holy**** over both brothers. As much as I hate him I have to say he was the 1st or 2nd greatest of the 5 great heavyweights of this era.Comment

You do realize that when you cut your post to the bare essentials... that the Klitschko's destroy Holyfield & Holyfield destroys the Klitschko's.. the determining factor according to you is a calendar.. forget about the fact you're talking about the same exact fighter & not some other one. A 50 yr old Holy & A 25 yr old Holy is one & the same.. it's the same fighter.. let's stop pretending it's someone else.. only difference is the body has aged.. the mind ageing is not such a negative & compensates for what the body has lost... i look at it as 25 yrs of MORE experience.. you look at it as 25 yrs of deterioration.. Truth is EVERY version of yourself is YOURSELF.. tHE BIGGEST misconception is that we pretend it's somebody else so as to hold on to the great times & pretend the not so great times are non existant & blame it on father time.
When MJ came back with the Wizards he was still one of the top 25 players.. he just wasn't number one anymore as we were accustomed to seeing him & to us that's an utter fail & NOT the real MJ....I got news for all of us that was MJ in the natural progression of his life & that was still good enough to be better than 95 % of all the Nba WHO were younger than him... but we don't look at it in the proper light.. we look at it as somehow MJ showed he was human..
Athletes who stay retired at 40 yrs old just give the impression that all there is to them was there primes.. because they didn't give you the chance to see them in there natural progression.... these over 40 sportsters should be commended for having the guts to let the public see them age in there natural habitat & NOT hold on TO only the good times but accept them in the not so great times as well because they're human.. If the most inhumane athlete of our generation can show himself to be human at an advanced age and be proud of it.. then anybody can without prosecution.Comment

a 25 yr old Holyfield and a 50 yr old Holyfield are one and the same? Replay that statement in your mind. You can't be that ******.Comment
