I don't really like that style, never did, but I understand some people do.
Don't be fooled it would be same against Wlad - he fights diametrically different to that.
I see prime Haye, with his speed and power (both superior to that version of Holyfield IMO) much more troubling for wlad.
Byrd was a master of defense and was coming inside and trying to box, but he was utterly outclassed by Wlad. Now I know after Lennox beat Holyfiled (and even much before that) Holyfiled was past it, but Byrd did outbox him.
I really can't see Holyfiled coming inside consistently (for 12 rounds - something I believe he would need to do to win) and not taking more damage than Wlad.
