Re: how would the klitschkos have got on during the late 80s/early 90s era??
No way! If Holy showed up for a fight with either brother in full health and in his prime he would totally school both!Originally Posted by ClubberLang
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

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!
one dangerous horrible bloke

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.

totally agreed! And the final outcome would end in a KO as the accumulation of what Holyfield was doing would be too much for Wlad to handle IMO
