Personally I really wanted to see Holyfield fight Wlad, but I'm confident that the Sultan shouldn't have any problems beating Evander back into obscurity.

I'm going with Sultan by 10th round TKO.

I can't wait
Do you know anything about boxing at all? He's by far the most recognisable boxer in the world currently fighting, he's never been in obscurity and never will.


Many boxers are more recognizable than Evander Holyfield.
Oscar Delahoya (anywhere)
Roy Jones Jr. (anywhere)
Erik Morales (take Mexico into consideration )
Marco Antonio Barerra (see above )
and a slew of others.......


Perhaps at Bilbo's house, Evander Holyfield is the most recognizable fighter, but hardly anywhere else

Think of it this way..................

How many PPV buys do these latest Holyfield fights/circuses get compared to just about everybody else's??

As far as your obscurity comment.......


How many people were talking about your boy Holyfield a couple years ago compared to now??
No thats cause you hate him, Evander is still one of the most recognizeable fighters in the world only rivaled by Delahoya
De La Hoya isn't famous at all in the UK unless your a boxing or sports fan. Even grannies over here know who Holyfield is, the man who beat Tyson twice and got his ear bitten off. He'a legend over here.

Remember that for non boxing fans, especially women the heavyweight division and fighters like Tyson, Holyfield, Ali etc are the only fighters they will ever hear of.
I was thinking that as well lol..Before I was a boxing fan I didn't know who De La Hoya, Roy Jones, Barerra (knew of him after he beat Hamed) or Morales were...Knew exactly who Evander Holyfield was though..
