Heavyweights: Lyle Rants...and shares news

Good point about the over all experience factor.Rahman and Peter had much but gave themselves little chance of winning plus Rahman was spent goods.The older guys are being recycled on name value and Holyfield at this point belongs no where near a championship ring.Wlad is riding an impressive high but chins dont become thicker with age,his last couple foes have just fallen into a hypnotic state at the end of that stick...sort of excepted their fates willingly.Father time may get to Vitali before a on par opponent does but all you can do is say job well done.Arreola was a very credible threat going in reduced to a gutsy catcher.Well theres always an in shape Toney .

As much as I hate to admit it, there is a part of me that wonders how Holyfield would take a punch from Wlad or Vitali. Evander has taken shots from: Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, and George Foreman but I think at least Wladimir would be about the most dangerous opponent for Holyfield considering the sharpness and power of Wlad's punches and considering Evander's age.....if Evander allows Vitali to sit on his punches then that's going to be difficult as well.

I'm kind of glad to see Shannon Briggs back though....not that I like him but I do enjoy seeing him KO'd and then scrambling for excuses....Walking Pneumonia my ass! "I got asthma, no other heavyweight champion has ever had to deal with anything like thise, that must make me the greatest"...I would LOVE to see Wladimir just beat the hell out of Shannon Briggs especially since Shannon likes talking shit....anyone remember this?

But of course now Briggs wants to fight Vitali...why Maybe because Vitali likes keeping his hands down, maybe because Briggs is a big guy....either way #1 Shannon has to fight his way back up to the top again and #2 Either brother will whip his ass if someone else doesn't do it first

I would fear for Evanders life if he fought the Klitchkos.

Some might think I am being over dramatic but with Evanders toughness and the Klitchkos punch power I can imagine Evander taken a long beating over 9 or 10 rounds before he goes down.Evander was not hard to hit i his prime so he would take lots of hard shots.

At his age this could lead to serious head injury .

If the WBC let this happen they will lose what little credibility they have got.

Holyfield is one of my favorite fighter's. I used to love watching him fight but since his recent return I just shake my head and get disappointed. I get mad at the organizations and I get mad at him. He should sit down watch himself in his recent outings and compare them to his earlier fights and hopefully he will say damn I am less than a shadow of my former self and retire.
