Holyfield Defeats Oquendo: Another Spirit Broken

[jbirdy]

i thought matt skelton was ranked in the top ten by the WBA? i know there were talks about making a fight with him and valuev. but this might have been some more bolocks coming from frank waren

[Lance Uppercut]

....told yall, now watch Don King put him in with Valuev!!!!

He looked pretty good huh, Do you think Holy could beat Valuev? If Holy was too fight Wlad, Wlad right now is my favorite, But if he(Holy) fought for title against Wlad, I would want Holy to win just where he would secure his legecy and 5 time champ. What do you think?

I hate when people refer to him as a 5 time champ. He is a two time champ. (arguable 3) His 4th world title is a joke: He lost to Lewis, and in the very next fight he was fighting JOHN RUIZ for the same alphabet belt he lost to lewis Its like calling Tim Witherspoon a two time champ(while Larry Holmes was the heavyweight champion)

He got a title on four different occasions and sadly thats the only thing that matters.

Alright, That being the case, and using the alphabet logic: Mike Tyson is a 3 heavyweight Champion, the same as Ali. When he was really champ in the 80's was the first, the second was the alphabet title he took off of Bruno. Then he was striped of that alphabet title, and went into the seldon fight as a contender and won a different alphabet title in his very next fight.

I am curious to see the PPV buys and attendance report...I will Venture to say Holy got a respectable amount of buys as well as he probably sold out the venue or damn near close to....Thats a 44 year old Holyfield that fans Like myself still Adore with his Warrior mentality...

I told everyone I would support his comeback as long as he wasnt getting blown out of fights and taking a severe beating....From what I read dosent seem to be the case.... I'm still on board with the The Real Deal

There's the Rock I remember ! yeah baby ! CC

The only problem with that early knock down , was that Oquendo put it in Reverse and floored it , and did not want to fight for the duration of the match. It takes 2 to fight, and when one guy is going backwards its hard for a 44 year old to set and fire, but Holyfield did enough to win against a very awkward opponent. Evander will do much better with a guy that wants to fight. , Hell knowbody looks great agianst Fres.

...at this point in time I wouldn't be surprised if Valuev decided to take on Audley Harrison!

Aye, very true. Holyfield's strength is in fighting people who want to fight, not chasing some spring chicken around the ring and trying to catch him. I'm pleased that he won again, and I still think he can be a force in what is, without doubt, a mediocre heavyweight division with very few fighters around that can inspire the sort of support and enthusiasm for the sport that Holyfield does. Go on the revival!

[El Kabong]

Anyone for Holyfield-Brock?

[Lords Gym]

naw. Id rather see Holyfield against one of the Champions for a title.

[El Kabong]

...Maskaev is the only one he has a shot against....other than that you'd either like to see him A) Beat up or B) Knocked out

Holyfield would knock Briggs out in 4. Briggs sucks ass. hands by his waist no work rate. snatch box this one !
Wlad would be tough no doubt about that.
Oleg would get stopped in the 7th, he comes right at yeah,,tailer made for Evander
Nikolay Valuev would get hammered on the inside,, Holyfield uppercuts this guy all night long.
Calvin Brock gets stopped in the 10th
