I love evander, but now hes a squeaky,rusty unicycle with a flat tire,broken spokes and a torn seat. Last two fights he couldnt get off. The thing that carried him to greatness is gone. Old age is a ruthless neighbour who moves in and borrows all of your tools till your garage is empty. His heart might let him get a few tools back but i cant see him beating anyone who is a top HW. I do however think he could get a 5th belt if he choses his oppent very carfully and is lucky. But his ranking and performances dont give him the clout to pick and choose who he can fight. If he gets anothers shot from anyone he'll probably have to take it no matter who it is. Valuev may be a wildcard,Ruiz did ok againsthim and that might be enough to encourage Evander. His best bet is against a Briggs who has an Asthma attack in round one and leg cramps in rounds 2,3,4 followwed by a spastic colon in rounds 5 & 6.
Please .. ..........The whole division is a wreaking yard . Evander is the Jem of the bunch , at 44 he will easily become champion again. ! Holyfield 2007 !
