    Holyfield vs either BRO?

    WORST & BEST CASE SCENARIOS????Ok... enough with all the bollshet... what are we REALLY afraid of? Let's realistically take a look at this logically & NOT illogically. Let's start with the absolute worst case scenario & then the best case scenario. Worst case ofcourse being an APollo Creed down beatdown resulting in death. Best case scenario.. Holyfield ko'ing both brother's back to back. OK.. we can agree that i have just given the ultimate negative & positive aspects that can possibly come out of this matchup (s).

    Now I ask the board.. REALISTICALLY given HOLYFIELD'S history.. which scenario is MORE likely to happen.. IS he more likely to die or is he more likely to live with all 4 belts resting around his waist? I've left off purposely ALL the possible scenarios that can happen in between because of the ENTIRE forum's ALL or nothing thinking when it comes to the dreaded matchup. Just answer the question that was presented... what is more likely to happen.. Holyfield DEATH or Holyfield REBIRTH.. if you feel like taking a 50/50 stance>>> then explain the reasoning behind it.

    This question is raised for the ENTIRE boxing forum... what are we REALLY scared of.. are we justifiably scared or are we projecting our fears onto the potential bouts?

    Let's just say the realistic outcome would be Evander being severely hurt aside from losing so lopsidedly.

    Only a sadist would like even the IDEA of this fight...

      I don't think Holyfield could pose much of a threat and i would guess he'd either get stopped or seriously damaged. At his age such punishment could be really damaging.

      I think this fight is a really bad idea and it would look bad on either Brother for making it given their image/persona.

        This is a fight that won't make any sense for either K brother... Both of them right now would KO Holyfield, especially because Evander wouldn't back off and won't run like Haye. He would fight till the end, but the outcome should be the same, Wladimir/Vitali over Holyfield by hard KO.

          Yeah, and that's one big reason it will never happen...maybe Evander can get a fight with Povetkin, that's about his only chance at a title of any kind.

                I would pick Holyfield for sure due to his style compared to both brothers weaknesses.
                I could see him wrecking havoc on the inside, especially with Wlad.

                Holyfield is a top10 hw tho so it's not a slight towards the klitschkos.
                I'd pick Holyfield over a lot of heavyweight greats prime for prime.

                  No, he'd be another former cruiserweight who was defeated by their unique combo of skill and size, most likely. But he'd make it interesting, and might have a chance at toppling Wladimir.

                  Vitali? Very unlikely.

                    Do you not think he could box his way inside of them and exploit that weakness? On the inside i could not see them doing very well.

                    Maybe they could tie him up and lean on him to tire him out and box as well as they can to keep him at bay?

                    Maybe Vitali could manage it due to his volume and footwork (i know people will laugh, but for a big guy hes very active on his feet in my opinion) but i'd put Holyfield as the favorite. Much more so against Wlad who i think would be punished badly.
