Holyfield vs Wladimir?

Don't like these fantasy fights, but probably Wlad. Would probably be a lot like Lewis - Holyfield II. Very boring.

This belongs in the fantasy fights section.

Holyfield.

Regardless of opponent, Holyfield got inside and he gets free. He also had an iron chin. His inside game was very good. Wlad has no inside game, so I don't think he could deal with that.

Holyfield. He had success against Bowe, and Wladimir aint no Bowe. Wladimir gets KO'd after the first left hook Holyfield lands.

Holy just needs to land. It will take a while given Wlads run lie scared ****less approach whilst jabbing and clinching, but it will happen.

It would be a funny thing to watch though, as would the Tyson-Wlad fight, this huge ass giant of a man running petrified from a bald comparative midget. Imagine if you will Lennox Lewis running petrified and clinching every thirty seconds with Marvin Hagler...well no you cant, can you? But with Wlad-Evander, you could turn down the sound, run it on 2x speed and play Benny Hill music to it and watch the guy with the massive advantages run for the hills.

I think it would be an even fight that could go either way. I can see either Man winning by KO or on points. A prime Holyfield could throw 100 good punches a round and that would put lots of pressure on Wlad. Holyfield was a pretty good puncher and a good finisher so he could get the KO. Wlad is a terrific puncher with both hands and his straight right can KO anyone. Wlad is also a smart, skillful boxer with a great jab and lots of height and reach on Holyfield so he could win on points.

Holyfield.

Pressure is the key.

It's all about real estate. Location location location. If Holyfield can get on the inside he'll win, if Wlad can keep it on the outside he'll win. If I see someone getting stopped it's wlad

It pains me to say but Vlad beats Holy by KO. I am world's biggest fan of Holy but Vlad is number 5 ATG HW ,Holy is number 6.
