Re: how would the klitschkos have got on during the late 80s/early 90s era??
mercer just seems like the kind of guy that would be tailor made for the klitschkos to jab away and beat.Originally Posted by Lyle
A prime holyfield would of given either brother absoloute nightmares for 12rounds - no way i could see Wlad getting anything other than KO`d in that one and Vitali probably as well.

Well the Evander who got beaten by Moorer and the one who was stopped vs Bowe in the third fight or the one that fought Lennox Lewis in their first fight I think Wladimir could handle but it's a HORRIBLE style matchup when Evander is fully healthy as he applied so much pressure and had such a great chin that he could handle Wlad's punches. Vitali IMO could beat Holyfield, different style, different strengths....Vitali is one of the toughest fighters to give anyone a clear shot over him without having doubts.

The exact opposite is the case. Both brothers would have been an awful matchup even for a prime Holyfield. They are both simply too big and would have jabbed him to death. They'd have punished and probably stopped him even in his prime. Just not a good matchup for Holy

No way! If Holy showed up for a fight with either brother in full health and in his prime he would totally school both!The exact opposite is the case.

Holyfield dealt with bowes height advantage with some ease and was able to run rings around him quite often.
The evander holyfield that turned up and beat tyson twice and bowe once would of found a way to make both klitschkos fight his fight!

Holyfield always had trouble with Bowe's jab and that is the best weapon of Wlad. Holyfield would eventually catch up with Wlad because he could not live with the intensity of Holyfield that fought Bowe the first time. Vitali would probably survive to the end but lose a decision.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Now we have no doubt seen evidence of Wlad totally gassing out during a fight and that's why I think Holyfield is a horrible match up for him but make no doubt about it Evander would have had to edure a hellacious beating to win.
Vitali on the other hand is durable and is far too economical with his punches to lose a decision to Evander.
Just a dude in blue.

The thing that stands out to me in regards to a Wlad vs.Holyfield match up.Holyfields combination handspeed and counter punching.Agree with Master on level of intensity he would bring,once he gets around Wlads Jab/extended jab,and yes he was prone to eat some jabs but would adapt...I think he would rip Wlad up on the inside and underneath.Wlad does not fight comfortably in close quarters and I think Holyfield would set a pace come the middle & late rounds he just could not withstand.

Agreed. Look what Lewis did to Holyfield.
