For people that say Roy Jones or Hopkins should retire, what do those people say about Holyfield? Absolutely incredible. The difference to me between Jones, Hopkins, and Holyfield, is that Jones still has speed, where as Hopkins and Holyfield don't have the any of the speed they used to have at their current age.

Still Holyfield is tough as nails and still packs a punch. I don't think he can beat Adamek, but I'd like to see him surprise me.

Still, I think that Hopkins looks much better than both despite his last questionable performance.

A part of me want's to give Adamek a pass on this since I'm certain this is a money making fight for him...
Because it sure as hell ain't gonna help him in the rankings...

Looks like Michael Grant will be next.

Holyfield is no longer considered. Grant is the new option.

Game proposes Chris Byrd next. :cool:

That is a really shit choice of potential opponent. Shame on Adamek for even going there. :rolleyes:

Would have preferred Holyfield to Grant, at least Holyfield still has some name value! I like Adamek's activity so I can tolerate a gimme here...

Holyfield is broke. He wanted $400 000 for the fight and they turned him down. That means Holyfield is basically prepared to fight for less than $200 000 nett. What a shame, what an awful way for him to end up.

no way , Grant is a much better fight than Holyfield . Grant is huge and has a impressive reach . He can give Adamek many problems.

No point being huge with an impressive reach if you can't fight or take a punch!

I still see this as a decent matchup. He may be able to take Adamek's punches. I still favour Adamek but this is going to be intriguing imo

We'll have to agree to disagree. I think Adamek busts Grant up in a few rounds! At least Holyfield is a name heavy, who the hell outside of us has ever heard of Grant?

Well, names don't fight ;D
It's all about Adamek this time. It's just a sparing that he wants to capitalize on. I doubt Holyfield fans would want to show up anyway (if there are any left), to see their champion battered for some petty cash.
