Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Klitschko Brothers Hurt Division, Now It's Coming Back

[apollocreed]

Holyfield was an ATG heavyweight, and pre '98 he would have beaten both Klitschko's, Joshua, Wilder and Fury. Fact. Heavyweight division now sucks compared to the 90's.

[Straightener]

Dunno about all that, Vitali's best wins are against the likes of herbie hide and old, shot, brewster.

He would bully the pair of them I recon

Bit a beast when he got going

I recon a out of shape old Lewis who fought vitali would clean the current champions out too

Bullsiht and you know it. He´d be the favourite to win the CW tournament tho.. right behind Usyk. If he could pass VADA. - EH was a great fighter and seems like a nice guy but he´d be simply too small for HW today. He´s too short to even headbut guys like AJ, DW and the fat retired *****.

It was a combo of the Klitschko bros and an outright lack of talent. Had the Klitschkos fought in this current HW era they would've racked up multiple losses, they'd have been around gate keeper status, below the likes of AJ, Fury, Wilder.


Both brothers lost to the ONLY A level opponents they fought. Wlad lost to Fury/AJ and numerous journeymen while a hungry prime Vitali got beat by a 38 year old obese Lewis that barely even trained for the fight.

Lol Joshua barely beat a 2 year retired 42 year old Klitschko. Even then that stoppage was very debatable as Joshua was gassing himself out and missing practically every shot in his flurry. Prime for prime Wlad would own Joshua.
Vitali would beat Wilder. He was beating Lennox every round except for the bleeding cut which caused the fight to be stopped, a prime Vitali would beat on Joshua and Wilder as well.
Keep your fantasies and your hating to yourself.

No I don't know it. I know you're a complete fool who's not worth wasting my life arguing with. The 'roided up CW' would beat all of today's HW's. What does that say about them? Go and watch Holy v Foreman in '91, Holy - Bowe 2, Holy - Tyson or Holy - Moorer 2. That's a real fighter that makes today's heavyweights look like white collar boxers. Size wasn't an issue for prime Holyfield. And as for the headbutts, he didn't knock people out by butting them.

Hmm.. "apollocreed" having wet dreams of HWs of yesteryear, all black US fighters.. I wonder if there´s a hidden agenda here..
Oh dear, I almost forgot: there´s two big men on EH´s record: Bowe and Lewis. No issues..? Valuev is another story, Holy was old, decision questionable and Valuev could barely move with his bad knees and 310 lbs.

How exactly they hurt? By dominating for so long?

LOL!

[oscar9992]

There was no interest in watching unathletic, slow, boring ass Eastern Europeans. The Heavyweight division is for the Brothers!

Wlad is athletic as any HW Champion in history.

Holyfiel is a envious broke bastard.Broke biotch.

It's nothing to do with race you idiot, it's about the quality of fighter. I'm white and British, I just know good fighters and good boxing. Just watch those fights and educate yourself ****head. Anyone with half a brain can see that Holyfield in those fight's would smoke all of today's average heavyweight's. Joshua is just a faster, more powerful version of Frank Bruno. Also Foreman was much bigger than Holyfield and still a dangerous opponent when they fought, Tyson avoided Foreman in the late 80's.
