What active heavyweight has the best shot at beating a prime Evander Holyfield?

[LoadedWraps]

Hands down Tyson Fury because of his size, skills & unpredictable style. You don't know what he will do from round to round. I think he doesn't get enough credit. I thought he was going to be a buffoon right from the get go. I have all his fights & he made me a believer in the Rogan fight when he fought the entire match in the southpaw stance. Sure it was only Rogan but he did not once switch back to orthodox in the 5 rounds it lasted. At that point I was impressed with his unpredictability. You can't train for that...

Klitchko has the perfect style to trouble Holyfield who had trouble getting around tall big styles who fought from an outside jab ,the correct answer is Klitchko if you had only one to choose between fighting safe and landing power shots to grind out or completely k.o Holyfield ,hes in for a rough night if Klitchko is on point .

Wlad....probably. As for the rest lol

Vladimir, the one closest to Lennox.

Fury, Joshua and Klitschko. Not sure why David Haye wasnt included in the list but he to would beat Holyfield

[Dr Rumack]

Fury's footwork is really impressive for a guy his size. Does he have the power and accuracy to discourage Holyfield though? I'm not sure.

I'm amazed Brezeale is not on this list.

Prime Fury would take him out, obviously. Holyfield would never get inside often enough to do any better than a wide points loss.

To answer the actual question, AJ would cause him the most problems. He's a similar size to Lewis and probably hits harder. We haven't yet seen anyone who can stand up to him for 12 rounds, and I'm not sure Prime Holyfield would either.

Think ole Windmills' defence is too ragged not to let Evander in with a shot or two. Kilt too old now, Ortiz too slow, Parker too easy to hit. Genuine lulz at the inclusion of PEDvetkin.

Fury, Joshua, Weilder and Klichko beat him because their size is too much to over come. Luis Ortiz possibly.

A few on the list have a shot but one thing Holyfield could do in his prime was throw punches, get inside & the headbutts were always a threat. Holyfield could take a big punch too. His ability to headbutt without getting caught was remarkable. He could throw a guy right off his game plan & anger them so they start making mistakes. He lost a few good prime years to health issues but still a great fighter. The HWs are so big now so it is tough to compare eras. Just like any other sport. The players are bigger, faster, stronger, have better nutrition & better drugs, medical procedures are better to help recover & rehab injuries quicker, etc...
