    I'd bet that 50 year old Evander Holyfield could come out of retirement and beat this fraud...

    40 year old George Foreman laid a brutal beating on Gerry Kooney, a guy who's dimensions are very similar to those of Tyson Fury...

    Since 2000.
    Ruiz, Rahman, Botha, Nielson, Savarese, Oquendo and Maddalone.

    And the robbery against Valuev.

    That's probably a top three resume today after Wlad and Povetkin.

    Oh and speaking of Maddalone.

    Holyfield TKO3
    Boystov UD8
    Mormeck UD8
    Fury TKO5
    Adamek TKO5.

    You're joking right. Fury would EASILY walk right through Holyfields opposition of the last 15 years without a loss. Holyfield lost half. He didn't age well and for financial reasons boxed way beyond his due date.

    Fury would easily outbox 2001 Holyfield from the outside.

    If Steve Cunningham could put Tyson Fraudly on the canvas, I'd bet Ole' Man Holyfield could do that and more...

    The only ones robbed in the Valuev fight were the fans. That reeked of a gentleman's agreement between the fighters to get paid in exchange for going through the motions and a Valuev victory. I don't believe it was on the level.

    Not impossible. Although old Holyfield around the early 2000s was getting knocked about by james toney.
    I can't take toneys hw run too seriously, the man was a great fighter but how shot was Holyfield....
