    Or better yet. He could Corrie Sanders. I always thought Botha would beat Colonel Sanders if they ever fought.

    For me boxing isnt always about the most technically gifted boxer of the greatest record. Frans Botha i think has always shown good heart and seem to love a fight. Just because he got KNFO by some of the best heavyweights in recent times it does nto make him a bum. If Holyfield can cause Valuev alot of problems, Botha certainly Can. In fact that sounds like a good eliminator to me?

    When you sign to fight Valuev you also get a free package that includes the scorecard of the fight.

    I too am a fan of Botha. While I think it is unrealistic to say that he could even get in a position to fight for a title, let alone win it, I would be rooting for him all the way.

    He should get the canceled Danny Williams back on now.
    It's a good moment for both.

    Sorry, but Botha has been gone long time ago. He was quite skilled and with little more punching power he would be very, very good pro

    I read somehwhere Botha could get a match with Galota. Anyone know if this is true or not? Think he will be back to his best and will give galota too much to handle! But thats just me. Still would be good for both of them. Would push both a bit closer to what they both want if they win. I shot at a real title.

    Vitali didnt stop Hoffman i seem to remember, in fact hoffman had his moments even. Im not saying he could beat Vitali but golota, Holyfield and Valuev are well beatable.

    With this HW division that's debatable.

    wasnt botha winning?

    something i like about botha is that he has nothing....nothing at all. weak jab, decentish right hand, no left hook, average chin, slow, normal stamina, not really a massive puncher....nice hair


    he has nothing yet he seems to be able to do pretty good against world class comp

    The fight got canceled cuz Williams fought Sosnowsky in between thinking he can win.
    Didn't turn that way.
