    Still Holyfield is tough as nails and still packs a punch. I don't think he can beat Adamek, but I'd like to see him surprise me.
    Still, I think that Hopkins looks much better than both despite his last questionable performance.

    A part of me want's to give Adamek a pass on this since I'm certain this is a money making fight for him...
    Because it sure as hell ain't gonna help him in the rankings...

    Holyfield is no longer considered. Grant is the new option.

    That is a really shit choice of potential opponent. Shame on Adamek for even going there.

    Would have preferred Holyfield to Grant, at least Holyfield still has some name value! I like Adamek's activity so I can tolerate a gimme here...

    Holyfield is broke. He wanted $400 000 for the fight and they turned him down. That means Holyfield is basically prepared to fight for less than $200 000 nett. What a shame, what an awful way for him to end up.

    no way , Grant is a much better fight than Holyfield . Grant is huge and has a impressive reach . He can give Adamek many problems.

    No point being huge with an impressive reach if you can't fight or take a punch!

    I still see this as a decent matchup. He may be able to take Adamek's punches. I still favour Adamek but this is going to be intriguing imo

    We'll have to agree to disagree. I think Adamek busts Grant up in a few rounds! At least Holyfield is a name heavy, who the hell outside of us has ever heard of Grant?

    Well, names don't fight
    It's all about Adamek this time. It's just a sparing that he wants to capitalize on. I doubt Holyfield fans would want to show up anyway (if there are any left), to see their champion battered for some petty cash.
