I can picture these 2 in the scene out of days of Thunder where the guys are both confined to wheel chairs and still have to compete against each other...
I'm sure these 2 will want to be placed in the same nursing home so they can have hyped up wheelchair battles daily...
But seriously, with the state of heavyweight boxing at the moment, having the names Holyfield vs Tyson on a fight card is just that final last bit of heavyweight spark that has all but died out for this division... I hope that the glory days will return, but at the moment, Holyfield & Tyson could be 70 y/o a peice and still draw the same money/hype as the current fighters..
Heavyweight needs NEW legends!
Sorry Lyle, I'm a Klity brothers fan as well, but that magic, show time, hype, worldstopping, glamour, fame, fortune, etc has gone out of the heavyweight division... We boxing fans are lucky and know that other weights have champions worth watching and following... But the heavyweight division is where boxing spreads it's wings to the world of sports fans... Unfortunately those wings at the moment are like little bright budgie wings fluttering about, instead of big soaring deadly eagle/hawk/vulture wings of the 60's to 90's ready to swoop down and kill any who aren't paying attention....
