How well does Holyfield do in this era of heavys?

[The Big Dunn]

Holyfield would dominate this very weak era of HWT's.

[low blows]

Holyfield struggled with too many guys to automatically state he easily beats Wlad. He struggled with Foreman and a shot Holmes. He was nearly ko'd by Cooper and lost a disputed fight with Moorer. How does a fighter with those fights on his resume beat either Klit brother?

it would be ridiculous to think holyfield walks right thru either brother without any resistance. hed have some bumps and bruises but id still favor him over both klits in a tough fight., holyfield tended to fight to the level of his opposition. I think hed rise to the challenge against the klits,,,espescially wlad. vitali would be much tougher for him

Wlad got knocked out by Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, and Ross Puritty. That's a lot worse than Holyfield's losses in his prime or past prime. How does anyone with those losses on his resume beat Evander Holyfield?

Because he has improved since then. If he hadn't improved he would have lost years ago.

he improved alot since those losses and learned how to use his height and pace himself properly. Id still favor holyfield to win tho,,but those 3 losses arent an accurate gauge imo

Holy might get to Wlad after all we are talking about an ATG heavy against a guy known for a weak chin.

Against Vitali I've said it before and ill say it again Holy is bodybagged.

wlad would have boxed circles over both purrity and brewster if he fought them today. not sure about sanders tho. that left hand from the southpaw stance was like kryptonite to wlad. im not sure hed be able to see it coming again if theyd have rematched. some guys can be inferior opponents but just have your number. like tarver to jones,,,norton to ali..etc

Neither are Holyfield's tough fights or losses to much better fighters than any of those three, which is the point of that post.

Bert Cooper is tougher than either Klit? Put down the acid blotters and come into our dimension....
