Smitty, Evander would knock the vastly overrated Klitschko the f*ck out inside of five rounds.

This would be an unbelievable match up. Klitschko's size and power (47-3-0) with 42 ko's against Holyfield's strength, endurance and strategic prowess (40-8-2) 26 KO's. I would love to say Holyfield but I think the strength and sheer size of Klitschko would have been too much for Holyfield. Then again Wlad hasnt faced the likes of the many opponents Holyfield has.

Smitty this is a true dream bout.
I would definitely have Evander as a slight favorite here but this would have been an awesome match. Evander is more talented and more complete boxer and at his best, I think that he was able to get in and mix his punches lot better then Wladimir can. But Wladimir, on the other hand is also very skilled, technical and incredibly powerful. He uses the left jab excellently to control people and set them up for that sledgehammer of a right straight and if only one of those gets through cleanly it's lights out for anyone regardless of how tough they are. So, I don't know... I think that this would depend on who would inflict his plan better. If Evander managed to get past the jab, close him down and look to rough him up on the inside Wladimir would have some real problems and he would definitely loose this fight. But then again, if Wladimir was able to work the jab continuously, keep him at bay and in control he would surely, sooner or later, put one of those right missiles through and end it. So once again, Evander is more complete boxer and I also have him as a slight favorite here, but we are talking about a close and competitive match none the less.
By the way - Evander Holyfield vs wlad klitschko -
Why don't you take a good look at this and tell me does anything f*cking seem wrong and just a tiny bit disrespectful to you here?!!

Smitty I believe that Holyfield is too good an overall fighter and would dominate the big man. Klitschko has some skill and a good jab but Holyfield would throw combinations and probably cut him around his eyes and stop him in about the 10th round.

In terms of talent, this would be an excellent matchup. Holyfield is one of the greatest ever and Klitschko is the most talented in today's crop of dismal heavyweights. Still, you can't deny Wladimir's skills.
In this fight, Holyfield would have the edge in speed, stamina, defense, and chin; whereas Wladimir has a distinct advantage in power. I think Klitschko will take the earlier rounds because of his sheer size. In the middle rounds, I think Holyfield would have figured out Klitschko's fight plan and take over the fight from there. Holyfield wouldn't be able to knock out Klitschko so I think defense will be his primary asset in this fight. Klitschko would probably be looking for the knockout as he's always been in his entire career against smaller opponents.
This fight would be mildly entertaining, but not Fight of the Year caliber. Holyfield will use his brain against Klitschko. He will stay away from the power shots and try to diminish Klitschko's stamina. Ultimately, Holyfield will take this fight via a unanimous decision. I just hate picking against Klitschko.

Evander Holyfield. He is not even a pure heavyweight. But the guy has awesome talent and fantastic boxing brains.

I think Evander either wins a comfortable decision or decides to batter Wlad and ends it in round 9.

Heart and boxing talent that is what Holyfield brings. Holyfield by decision.

Holyfield would win. As much as I am a fan of klitchko, he crumbles under real pressure and against good boxers. Now had Lewis not retired, and klitchko beat lewis (which he would have), then I would change my opinion.
