He ain't juiced up no more, :weightlifter: Thats the only explanation that I can think of.
he can't train as intense as he used to .....and age has a way of making you smaller...unless your George Foreman :) remember this guy was a legit cruiserweight and then trained/conditioned his body to get to heavyweight instead of eating his way there....Quote:

Fightnews has now corrected it - first they wrote 200 pounds.Quote:

my money is on bates to win
i hope holyfeild puts on a flawless preformance !!
seeing an old man apply his trade is nice to see,and if hes not gonna quit i hope he wins
Well, I will be the voice of moderation: Sentimentally, I would like to see Evander succeed in his near impossible quest, but realistically he should stop and savor a splendid career. May the best man win! ::**Quote:

I love the guy, hes has more heart than any of the heavies in the past 20 years.
For his sake i hope he knocks this guy out quick so he doesnt have to take any hits.
He was my favorite heavy growin up, i just hope nothing happens to him.
I think Holyfield has lost some pop and needs to change his style to suit it...I'll try to give my boy Clarence a call and see how sparring went

we should all say a prayer for him too,
Ps- heres a funny SNL clip about how Holyfeild Rambles on sometimes lol kinda funny ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWPr6wEWHYg
Peace & hair grease O0
I bet you that if Holyfield wins this fight and another fight Valuev will turn to him to be another bum for him to try and beat up on
Others he might like after Barrett
AUDLEY HARRISON
Domonick Guinn
Joe Mesi (if he doesn't regain his punching power)
Axel Shultz
Tony Thompson
I still think Holyfield could do well but he's taken too much damage to win a title
IMO this fight is a disgrace the man should not be in the ring for his own good.....In Holyfields prime he was GREAT!!! and a fighter whose heart can not be measured....This bates is a bum and isnt worthy of carrying Holyfields water to the ring....IMO Evander is going to lose I just hope he doesnt get hurt......200lbs is a good weight for him.....Don't know how many of you remember him as a cruiserweight but that was a fighter who matched up with the P4P greats
They announced him at 220...He had a bag of an opponent but looked damn good....
I hope Valuve do take a fight with Holyfield. I think Evander would cash his check inside 8 rounds. ! you say another bum for him might be ? you saying Holyfield is a bum ? Now they plenty of bums in the heavyweight division but Evander aint one of them !Quote:

Cool Click I appreciate what your saying , but I feel Evander would take advantage of the low expectations everyone has, and would pull out another stellar performance. knocking Valuve out inside 8.Quote:

So Holyfield said he had a match planned for after his victory so...he won who is this mystery opponent?
I heard a rumour he's lined up to fight Siman Simil Sam or whatever he is calledQuote:
