I would definitely put my money on Dr. Steelhammer aka Klitschko... Holyfield is too old @ age 44 and is out of shape, plus Klitschko is about 20-30 lbs heavier and stands 4 inches taller than Holyfield w/ a longer reach. I know this doesn't mean much in boxing and I am at no regards disrespecting Holyfield's strength and status but Holyfield is gonna have to tear apart Kilischko inside if he even stands a chance of lasting. I've seen Klischko fight and this guy is a tank. Good luck to both fighers but I'm going w/ Klischko in favor.

The odds of Evander Holyfield being able to beat a world class heavyweight who is young enough to be his son are slim to none. Evander was a great heavyweight back in the 80's and was even very good in the first half of the 90's, but it is almost impossible to turn back the clock 20 years. Even though Wladimir isn't considered "great" by historical standards, he is good enough to beat an ancient legend.
I think of Ali beating Archie Moore or Marciano beating Joe Louis when anyone mentions Holyfield fighting for a heavyweight title in the near future.

Word on the street that the "Real Deal" is making a decent run of it now. His sheer will could be formidable, but no "Rocky Balboa" ending here. Dr. Steelhammer would dissect Holyfield. His jab looked great against Brewster over the weekend. Emmanuel Steward will continue to do a great job of reminding Klitschko of his strengths and see to it he delivers more devastating follow-up rights to his jab and Holyfield will realize that another chance to wrap the belts around his waist is but a pipe dream.

Get off of Klitschko's NUTs, he is overrated in a watered down heavy weight division.
Holyfield is the most underrated fighter in history, but after he beats Klitschko and become the only 5 time champ maybe that will all change

Odds would be 4 to 1 Klitschko.

Klitschko would destroy Holyfield. The reason is simple he is younger, faster, stronger, and a better fighter. Holyfield in his prime would destroy Klitschko, for what thats worth.

i know wladimir hits harder bigger/ maybe stronger/ but im gone to have to go with holyfield. if they do fight holyfield will be a big underdog / this event would be as big as lennox vs tyson/ a lot of stars would show up for this belt / i see this fight going to distants / wlad jab would convince one judge that he done enough to win the other to judges would think holyfields 30s combination would still rounds / holyfield wins by split decision/ surprising everybody.

Evander already sounds like he's talking with a mouth full of marbles, he fights Klitschko he is risking some serious brain injury. The big fella will jab him with that jack hammer jab and scramble whats left of his eggs.

it would be a severe mismatch ,holyfield would stand no chance . klitschko is too young, big ,fast and strong for holyfield.it would be a sad fight to watch , i hope people are smart enough not to let it happen . i think holyfield already suffers from punch drunk syndrome .

wladimir will win, he is currently on the top of his career and Holyfield is faded. if that was in early 90's Holyfield would have win.
