I hate when people refer to him as a 5 time champ. He is a two time champ. (arguable 3) His 4th world title is a joke: He lost to Lewis, and in the very next fight he was fighting JOHN RUIZ for the same alphabet belt he lost to lewis ??? Its like calling Tim Witherspoon a two time champ(while Larry Holmes was the heavyweight champion)
He got a title on four different occasions and sadly thats the only thing that matters.
Alright, That being the case, and using the alphabet logic: Mike Tyson is a 3 heavyweight Champion, the same as Ali. When he was really champ in the 80's was the first, the second was the alphabet title he took off of Bruno. Then he was striped of that alphabet title, and went into the seldon fight as a contender and won a different alphabet title in his very next fight.

I told everyone I would support his comeback as long as he wasnt getting blown out of fights and taking a severe beating....From what I read dosent seem to be the case.... I'm still on board with the The Real Deal ;)
There's the Rock I remember ! yeah baby ! O0 CC
Re: Holyfield Defeats Oquendo: Another Spirit Broken
The only problem with that early knock down , was that Oquendo put it in Reverse and floored it , and did not want to fight for the duration of the match. It takes 2 to fight, and when one guy is going backwards its hard for a 44 year old to set and fire, but Holyfield did enough to win against a very awkward opponent. Evander will do much better with a guy that wants to fight. , Hell knowbody looks great agianst Fres.
Re: Holyfield Defeats Oquendo: Another Spirit Broken
...at this point in time I wouldn't be surprised if Valuev decided to take on Audley Harrison!

Aye, very true. Holyfield's strength is in fighting people who want to fight, not chasing some spring chicken around the ring and trying to catch him. I'm pleased that he won again, and I still think he can be a force in what is, without doubt, a mediocre heavyweight division with very few fighters around that can inspire the sort of support and enthusiasm for the sport that Holyfield does. Go on the revival!

Anyone for Holyfield-Brock?
Re: Holyfield Defeats Oquendo: Another Spirit Broken
naw. Id rather see Holyfield against one of the Champions for a title.
Re: Holyfield Defeats Oquendo: Another Spirit Broken
...Maskaev is the only one he has a shot against....other than that you'd either like to see him A) Beat up or B) Knocked out

Holyfield would knock Briggs out in 4. Briggs sucks ass. hands by his waist no work rate. snatch box this one !
Wlad would be tough no doubt about that.
Oleg would get stopped in the 7th, he comes right at yeah,,tailer made for Evander
Nikolay Valuev would get hammered on the inside,, Holyfield uppercuts this guy all night long.
Calvin Brock gets stopped in the 10th O0
[size=20pt]Holyfield Holyfield Holyfield [/size]
