Evander Holyfield vs Wladimir Klitschko

[Vendettos]

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.

Including headbutts?

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.

I think this would be a good fight. We all know Wlad is an intelligent, pretty masterful guy at sticking to a game plan. He's a good fast puncher too and uses his height and weight very well.

Holyfield would not be at all bothered about his size, he went toe to toe with prime Bowe, who I rate as at least as good as Wlad (for a short time)

This could end up as a UD for Wlad, keeping the fight at a distance, dominating behind the jab and catching Holyfield as he comes in, then leaning on him and tying him up.

However, I think Evander brings more desire and intensity than anyone Wlad has fought so far. He could keep up a relentless pace over the full fight - perhaps because of all the steroids he took - he has a rock solid chin and good skills. I think he is the aggressor, he refuses to be tied up inside and throws punches and head butts all night long. I see him making Wlad question his chin and get a bit panicky backing up, eventually stopping him in the late rounds when the ref rescues a helpless Wlad on the ropes
