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

[NachoMan]

I'm sorry, but anyone who disagrees with Holyfield here just has not watched the HW division for very long. He tells the truth, plain and simple. The Klitschko era was awful and real boxing fans are ecstatic that its over.

[SplitSecond]

The division still sucks. Was probably better when vlad and vitali were prime.

[NachoMan]

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.

Agree. To put it in perspective, if Holyfield was anywhere close to being 6'7" and 250 lbs he would have absolutely murdered every fighter he fought. I do not mean this figuratively. There would have been dead bodies about the ring. Holyfield was a beast. The new generation of giant HW's like the Klits, the *****s, AJ, etc. are sad to watch. As Evander says, its not boxing. I hate for my friends to watch modern HW fighting because it really does embarrass me.

He only said that cause they're the Klitschko brothers and not the Klitschko brothas .

It really is embarrassing. There are barely any "boxers" at HW. And the one guy who looks like he knows how to box is so stiff and gasses whenever he puts punches together. It's hard to watch at times. But I support because I want to see the division get back to being a big deal. Going to the fight tonight (free tickets lol)

[Madison Boxing]

the division is still garbage.

[Cutthroat]

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.

Please, you fan boys weren't saying jack shyt when Wlad dominated Pulev 2 years earlier. Wlad's experience kept him in the fight, AJ's lack of it too. He may have been old but his body was still in great shape.

You wanna talk experience? Let's talk about how AJ barely turned pro in late 2013, not even a full 4 years later he had Wlad on his resume. I mean how the fck does an "ATG" with over 20+ years pro experience lose to a guy not even 4 years pro? Wlad was at his best when he was old, he was getting KO'd in his "prime" against journeymen"



Vitali? 38 year old Lewis barely even trained for the fight and nearly tore his eye out the socket. Lewis gained 7lbs of fat getting up to 256lbs, the WORST shape of his career, even worse than when he lost to Rahman and McCall and still pulled off a victory.

[GOLDKING]

the division would be better with more roided americans from the ****** is what this brain damaged mutant is saying.

[Cutthroat]

I wouldn't go that far

Vitali would batter wilder and Joshua in his prime

Vitali looked like complete shyt and got stopped vs an unmotivated Lennox Lewis.

38 year old Lewis came in at the heaviest of his career, 256, up 7lbs from last year against Tyson. He BARELY trained for the fight while Vitali was a hungry prime lion.

Wilder and AJ are levels ahead of that old fat unmotivated version of Lewis.

When Lewis didn't take guys seriously like Rahman and McCall he got stopped, Vitali couldn't even do that.

Wilder and aj haven't made it too out of shape Lewis level yet haha

I think your overestimating the current heavy weight scene
