Holyfield vs. Ibragimov is just around the corner............................

I've got mixed feelings on this one, I'd like Evander to retire before he gets hurt, maybe not in this fight, but if he wins he'd be after Wlad, and he's just to powerful for him at his age. But then again, he's one of my favourites so I'd like to see him pull one last performance out of the bag.

IMO he has a decent chance, though he'd need a knockout which I don't think he can. Evander hasn't got much left, but Sultan had bugger all to start with so it could be a decent entertaining fight.

I like Holyfeild to win i liked him ever since he put the whooping on Tyson and the Bowie fights were great to he might be a 5 time world champ who knows

I like Evander to Beat Sultan.As a lifetime Holyfield Fan I have Rode a roller coaster Of every emotion possible following His career through the trials and tribulations.I am past the point of "wishing" he would retire and have excepted that he believes ,regardless of sub-par opponents and aching concern that the longer he temps fate and trudges on with his apparent "crusade",He will prevail.My Biggest fear is That he WILL end up in the headlines for all the wrong reasons .
Bottom line is he will continue to fight until hes convincingly beaten and has to be saved from his toughest opponent in a Stellar career..Himself!
Holyfield Tko 10 Ibragimov......Then retire with all the glory.

Holyfield is like a car crash.


You know you should not be watching but you just cant help it. ::**

Holyfield's gonna win just like he shocked the world when he beat tyson. More than 10 years ago before his first tyson fight he was considered 'washed up' by many critics and boxing people after losses to bowe and moorer. Now hes back again to prove himself, and if he does win(which i hope so) he would still go after the other belts as he wants to be UNDISPUTED champion again. I am rooting for holyfield and i think a victory over ibragimov should show everyone the power of a person's heart. GO FOR IT HOLYFIELD!

Personally I really wanted to see Holyfield fight Wlad, but I'm confident that the Sultan shouldn't have any problems beating Evander back into obscurity.

I'm going with Sultan by 10th round TKO.

I can't wait :D

Do you know anything about boxing at all? He's by far the most recognisable boxer in the world currently fighting, he's never been in obscurity and never will. ::**

Many boxers are more recognizable than Evander Holyfield.
Oscar Delahoya (anywhere)
Roy Jones Jr. (anywhere)
Erik Morales (take Mexico into consideration ;))
Marco Antonio Barerra (see above ;))
and a slew of others.......


Perhaps at Bilbo's house, Evander Holyfield is the most recognizable fighter, but hardly anywhere else

Think of it this way..................

How many PPV buys do these latest Holyfield fights/circuses get compared to just about everybody else's??

As far as your obscurity comment.......


How many people were talking about your boy Holyfield a couple years ago compared to now??

---

No thats cause you hate him, ::** Evander is still one of the most recognizeable fighters in the world only rivaled by Delahoya

---

De La Hoya isn't famous at all in the UK unless your a boxing or sports fan. Even grannies over here know who Holyfield is, the man who beat Tyson twice and got his ear bitten off. He'a legend over here.

Remember that for non boxing fans, especially women the heavyweight division and fighters like Tyson, Holyfield, Ali etc are the only fighters they will ever hear of.

I was thinking that as well lol..Before I was a boxing fan I didn't know who De La Hoya, Roy Jones, Barerra (knew of him after he beat Hamed) or Morales were...Knew exactly who Evander Holyfield was though..
