    Bert would have beat evander if mills lane never done a standing count. He would have finished him.

    When Big George won the HW title at 45 it was one of the worst things that could have ever happened to boxing IMO, because it set a TERRIBLE example for aging fighters. You always hear aging fighters citing Big George and Bernard Hopkins, always thinking "hey I might have one more big hurrah, look what George did" despite the fact that George and Hopkins are the RARE exception, not the rule.

    Boxing is a brutal game, and I think guys should be looking to get out well before 40. Sure, people will say with today's advances in the areas of medicine and nutrition (aka PEDs), 40 is the new 30. Yeah, maybe so. But all the advanced nutrition and "supplements" in the world can't protect your brain from the effects of 20-25 years of getting punched in the head.

    The fact that boxing allows guys like Toney and Holyfield to fight, guys who are pushing 50 and have PROVEN to have brain damage, is a constant reminder of how cannibalistic this sport can be. I don't see anything impressive or honorable in letting Holyfield go out and get killed by a Klitschko.

    A prime Holyfield would have his hands full against either Klitschko, much less this 50 year old shell.

    The call was he'd be literally be laying in the seats if the ropes that he slid down face first were not there. That call was legit as a kd and has been sighted in numerous similar situations since as cause for a legitimate knockdown. I don't think that 8 seconds took the nail outta Holyfields coffin by any means and it wasn't the first or last time he'd be hurt only to come back and return the favor in kind..rounds end. Cooper wasn't some devastating finisher. Ask a sagging and 'out' Moorer in the 1st round a fight later.

    Those uppercuts on Bert Cooper were brutal.

    I think that evander should fight Roy Jones (jr)...in a cage...loser leave town (an archaic pro wrestling reference)...no rules death match.

    Another thread says he fights Mercer and Briggs.

    Well i like the k brothers and all but a 37 year old Holyfeild did better in the rematch with Lewis then Vitali. Evander in prime is all wrong for the k brothers styles i feel and the fights would be ugly looking.

    Funny how klitschko never got his rematch with lewis unlike evander! Wonder why! WBC put him on the spot and he retired pronto. Lewis did agree face to face with vitali a rematch, all that is just fact u can swing around it all u want.

    Ya holy ultimately did better but lewis arguably won 1 round vs vitali while it lasted. Only when vitali was cut up was it hampering his performance. And holy had more than 11 days notice. An argument could easily be made that it should have gone to the cards.

    When Lennox and Vitali fought,.. they were two monsters who could wipe every other fighter on the planet barring a fluke KO or injury,...the closest genetical parralells for either of those two were indeed each other...saying someone did better against fighter A means shit really! When you have two men like that going toe to toe something will give, it is not a question of superiority on lennox's part, you could argue that vitali at 32 who was plagued with injuries (always has been) was hardly prime either especially training for cedric fuckin boswell....

    10 years ago if I told you Vitali Klitschko was going to make beating undefeated fighters a habit of his, nobody would have believed it. Holyfield went 1-1-1 with john ruiz a year after the lewis rematch. Vitali went onto a streak of unbroken wins. Do not deny the greatness that is vitali klitschko...

    And the fact remains that the 5 fights he had with 2 SHW's comparable to the klitschko's he won 1, yes he is a helluva fighter but he is also a steroid freak, do u honestly think he has been able to maintain such a physique and longevity on fruit shakes! Evander and marciano were my TWO greatest p4p HW's af all time until i found out about the 'evan fields' debacle....his rematch with lewis was impressive at 37 but for me the physically most impressive display by any HW fighter in that period would have to be the Assassination of the hero riddick bowe by mental midget Andrew Golota

    Vitali for me is the Greatest H2H fighter ever.
