    It wouldn't be the first time an ancient past-it heavyweight got in the ring for money in a less than meaningless fight, would it? And I'm guessing African boxing authorities aren't quite as strict as their first world counterparts. You probably just have to get your manager to fill a form in, or perhaps even just pay somebody some money. Holyfield is short of dough too apparently and he's got 10 000 kids. So with those dynamics his career is not likely to end well, is it?

    An all time legend vs a guy who has only ever lost to the best infront of 8ok. It pits two guys and neiother come to run or play it cautiously. Id rather watch this over a Klit fight anyday. Both of them just prod out a jab at some bum with no motivation for afew rounds until they got bored. Holyfields fight is one of the most anticpated heavyweight fight in a while

    I wouldn't say it's come to anything on the strength of this fight. Who are Holyfield, Botha or the WBF? It would be different if a legit fighter or legit belt were involved in any of this, but this is the same as me making up my own belt and sanctioning two bums on the corner to duke it out over it. It's meaningless; not even a raindrop in the ocean.
