    Default Evander Holyfield vs Wladimir Klitschko

    prime for prime---- how does this go? Does Evander beat him like he beat Foreman? Does Klit pound him down like Bowe did?

    It is hard to say, with Holyfield you could argue that his prime was at cruiser. I mean he was CW until near 30.

    I believe Wlad could control him with that hellsh jab and the size difference would show.

    Likely Wlad on UD as Holyfield didn't have a massive punch, his power was decent though but Wlad never gets hit anyway.

    I think Wlad would control him like Lennox did.

    I wonder if either of them fought without the use of steroids or PEDs in their entire career? It'd be interesting to know.

    Two great fighters, but two great lab experiments also.

    Proof of Wlad using PEDS?

    This is not how 40 year old men look, especially 40 year old men that are doing heavy cardio everyday.

    No... just, no.

    The "awww just look at him" is a very weak argument....what do you want him to have a pot belly? Would that be ok? How unmuscular should Wlad look in order for you to feel ok with his performances?

    Need I remind you that James Toney was popped for PEDs and he looked EXACTLY like a fat old man....so your "just look" theory has it's holes

    Yeah I've seen fat guys test positive for PEDs, I've seen guys skinny as a rake test positive for PEDs.

    But when I see a professional athlete looking better at 40 than he did in his 20s, and I know that said athlete isn't being properly drug tests, ehhhh nope. Sorry, I don't buy it. Guys get worn down, they lose muscle mass and their recovery takes much longer.

    The Germans have been on the cutting edge of steroids and PEDs longer than any country.

    Again though, I'm not convicting him in a court of law. I get all the "innocent until proven guilty" thing (although that's IMPOSSIBLE to prove, guys have argued their way out of positive tests, steroid receipts, ect).

    But do I believe that Wlad looks that way at 40 naturally? Fuck no. Dude is injecting testosterone, I'd bet my house on it.

    Fan of both guys but consider & logic dictates that Wvlad would use height and reach to play it safe and drape himself over Evander whenever he got close and I can see that scenario playing out. However you have to consider that as good as Wvlad is when he is on top, he does crumble under pressure and it would take a good, perhaps dirty infighter to rough Wvlad up, break his composure and take him out of his comfort zone to see if he drowns or swims. History tells us he generally drowns in that situation. Sam Peter being the exception.

    Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe were good big men who had decent left hands but they struggled to keep Evander from swarming them. They both had good inside games too to deal with Evander up close but Klitschko doesn’t. Ive rarely, if ever seen him letting his hands go with combinations when a guy is on his chest. Instead he looks to clinch, wrestle and looks fearful at anything coming at him.The way Evander uses his heads opponents didn’t wana let him get up close so this would really knock Wvlad off his gameplan if he couldn’t smother the real deal.

    Lets not forget what a great fighter prime Evander was. He was a machine. May not have had 1 punch KO power but he could definitely trouble Wvald who has been floored by lesser men as evidenced when he dropped Bowe or stopped the thick necked Tyson. His pace is another problem for Wvladmir who is known to gas when under pressure. The relentless pace Holyfield puts on him is a far cry from the plodding pcae he is use to against guys like Alex Lepai. You can make a case for either guy winning but prime for prime I don’t think Wvlads ever been in the ring with anyone quite like a prime Holyfield and I don’t think it would end well for him if he did.

    I think the Holyfield that fought Bowe the first time may be able to beat Wlad. Holyfield would walk through the jab and get inside with some hooks and combinations. Wlad would survive to see the decision as Holyfield was not a big puncher but he would tire Wlad out. I can not see Wlad control Evander with a jab throughout the fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Definitely a gray area. We can speculate, but facts are facts: He has never tested positive.

    Switching up a bit. I think of someone like Roy Jones Jr. a lot smaller but was really ripped. As in ripped fuel?
    Even factoring in that he had to lose muscle to go back down to LHW, it didn't mean he would become a fat body or a skinny dude.

    Point: When I see RJJ today, I see a guy whose body is that of a plus 40 year old guy. It would seem that Wlad at some point would succumb to father time. I could see him being buffed, but not ripped past age 40. Similar to RJJ.

    But maybe Wlad is constantly lifting weights maintaining his physique.

    For the record- A prime Holy would have taken the fight to Wlad. Wlad doesent have that rage to brawl like Bowe did..or Lennox could.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Takes more than that. Cardio eats away at muscle, especially at 40 years old.

    Not testing positive really doesn't mean anything to me, because standard drug testing is useless. Lance Armstrong never tested positive either.

    Like I said, I can't convict him in a court of law, that's fine, but I know he's using, like most other athletes.
