So is Evanders Comeback serious then?

And why should he get a shot at the title if he isn't ranked in the top 10. He should have to fight and beat top 10 ranked fighter to even be considered for a title fight.

I really admire Evander's career since he has demonstrated to be a real warrior. I am hoping that he can retire before having some permanent damage, but the will of a man sometimes is strong enough to beat obstacles that seem impossible. I'm not sure if this is the case of the "Real Deal", but we are looking at a great athlete (past his prime) who has the will to become a world champion again. And, he certainly should not be in the need of fighting for the money.

I think he should have senority over other guys because he has beaten top 10 guys throughout his entire career. Why should a less deserving Vitali Klitschko get an immediate title shot?

Evander was rated nº9 by the WBC behind Toney and Rahman ( Check it out!!) and that was right before Toney was caught up again on steroids ( FOR REAL) and having won a split decision in a stinker against Betchelder and Rahman in another nightmare against Taurus Sykes, so so Evander will probably jump a place or two... Now, tell me why is that Dimitrenko, Virchis and Sam are so highly ranked by the WBC if it isn't for Suleiman's Globalization politics? The only East Europeans I give a chance against Evander are Platov, Krasniqi and Sasha... Holyfield should fight Oliver McCall and beat him like he did to Rahman and get that Suleiman's promised title shot ( to the winner of McCall vs Samil Sam in Turkey), Oliver says he wants to please the public and fight anyone while he waits for the V.Klitschko/O.Maskaev/S.Peter fights, isn't he? Let him c'mon then!

Fields is relying on his name to get a straight shot, he will not fight a ranked contender or anyone with a chance of beating him, he will just keep busy as he has done and wait till someone needs a big name opponent.

The thing is his best opponent this past year is Fres, then he went far downhill to Vinny, now someone who just has no bearing at all on todays division and suddenly Evan is reborn, he will again be embarrased likem he was aginst Toney.

Bring on the biggest ass kicking possible for the headbutting, biting, hypocrtical bible bashing (how many kids out of wedlock to different mums?)

Hmm Klitschko ? Sultan? or Changeav? I think Klitschko, more power!!!

I agree dat a young, strong and determined contender can dictate a pace which Vander may not be able to stand but that doesn't mean there are many guys out there who are mentally sound for the task at hand and fight Holly in close and in the US - remember Fres was always backing up and got to lose due to that attitude - I also checked that Dimitrenko is now ranked number 9 and Holyfield is number 10, being Valuev, Cuban Gomez and Krasniqi now top 10 rated WBC hwts - I still say Donnel Holmes doesn't have it and neither does Alexander Dimitrenko nor EBU Champ Vladimr Virchis. Povetkin, Platov, Chagaev but specially Krasniqi would all be favored to beat Vander, yes, but I doubt if Wlad can believe in himself and deliver against the former 4 time Champ...
