So does anyone give Holyfield a chance?

He's facing off against Nikolay Valuev on December 20th.

Watching his rather sad performance at the hands of Sultan Ibragimov where he plooded around the ring and did nothing I really think this is going to be another pathetic and dreary defeat for Evander.

He shouldn't be getting this shot at all of course, I mean getting the first shot was dubious enough but to lose all 12 rounds near enough and then fight for another world title in your very next fight is rather ridiculous.

I'd love to see him win it but he's claiming he actually wants to defend it and let's face it if he faces either of the Klitchko's at this stage of his career he's likely to get seriously hurt :-\

Of what,possibly getting murdered in public? Yep he's got a great shot of that

Holyfield doesn't have the power to take him out; matter of fact, he'll get tired simply from reaching up there to hit him in the chin. I don't see anyone taking out Valuev with a body shot. I see Valuev taxing those 45 year old legs until Evander is winded out of his mind.

He will get hurt in this fight. Its a silly fight, Valuev is far too big and good for him at this later stage of Holyfields career. I think it will either be a late TKO or a very wide UD for Valuev. This is a joke fight in my eyes.

Holy might last the distance, but this really has a chance to be a fight from which he can later trace pugilistia dementia as a result of too many needless shots absorbed.

He doesn't have the firepower or the volume anymore.

I hope so. What would happen if Holyfield would win. The heavyweight division would be even more f**ked up but I would love it.

Course he has a shot he is fighting Valuev

What about David Haye if Holy comes thru .. could be a good name on the Hayemakers resume..

Bad idea. If Haye is going to paint himself as the next hope of the division he needs to avoid a mockery of a fight that would be Holyfield.

You never know what while happen Thompson knocked out Haye maybe the same with Holyfeild he may land and that while end it never know.

Sultan was a really good fighter, great amateur, great boxing skills. If Holyfield can get inside that jab I think he has a great chance. Valuev isn't very good on the inside, and he realies on keeping that distance. I think Holyfield as long as the ref doesn't let Valuev hug every second will have a good shot at beating Valuev on the inside, but its tough getting in on a guy as strong and big as Valuev.
