How many people think that since Holyfield had a hard time with Lennox Lewis (a tall fighter like him)?

Question

THEN DOES THAT MEANS HE WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME BEATING w. klitschko? - SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT HOLYFIELD HAD A PROBLEM WITH TALL FIGHTERS (HIS SIZE OR TALLER)?

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT NOW. I AM COMPARING BOXERS IN THEIR PRIME.

Answer 1

I will answer this in one short sentence, Wladamir Klitshcko is no Riddick Bowe or Lennox Lewis.

Answer 2

I believe that Holyfield is a warrior and able to adapt and adjust to a taller fighter. He did quite well against Riddick Bowe who I believe is a heck of a lot better and certainly a more complete boxer/fighter that these guys out there today in the heavyweight division. I believe the Holyfield that chopped down Mike Tyson would have went through Klitschko and pulverized him within about 8-9 rounds. He may have had to taste a few jabs but his boxing skills, speed, mobility, and endurance would have been too much for the big man to handle.

Answer 3

Size was never that much a factor in Holyfield's fights. He was a naturally smaller man that was built into a heavyweight, so fighting bigger men was factored into his development.
A prime Holyfield would have spanked Klitschko, but Evander is almost a hundred years old now.
Time to call it quits.

Answer 4

hollyfeild is the real deal in his prime .all boxer have a problem when it come admitting their skill have diminish and holyfield have .so i think it's time that he put up his gloves he have nothing else to prove

Answer 5

Holyfield would have teared thru Klitschoe..As would have Lennox and Tyson..He is a weak champion imo

Answer 6

Maybe with Lewis he was old. But against Bowe he had problems too. Let's face it though, he is way too old. All of the champs are too big. He could probably beat Briggs though for the weak *** WBO belt.

Answer 7

Holyfield was already old when he fought Lewis.
