    Amen. Fer Chrissakes people, Holyfield is washed up. So what, he beat a spent Lou Savarese and Fres Oquendo who is afraid to throw a punch. His speed is pretty much gone, and his skills are just a wisp of what they once were.

    Ibragimov isn't the greatest heavyweight of all time, but he's an awkward southpaw, has excellent handspeed, and stinging power.

    He will bust up Holyfield.

    If Holy was still at his best he would have KOed Savarese and he would have KOed Bates in 2 minutes.

    Ibragimov appears to have a solid enough chin. Briggs landed a few hard shots on the Russian and he seemed to walk through them. I do not think SI will have the same kind of respect for Holy's punching power that he had for Briggs' punching power, that has the potential to be his undoing but, then again, he very well could KO Holyfield.

    I anticipate Ibragimov catching Holyfield with one of his fast, awkward punches and flooring him early then catching him with more and more punches until Holy can't answer anything in the middle rounds and the fight is waved over.

    You think Savarese is known for having a good chin or something? LMAO! He gets knocked out all the time, usually in the early rounds. FFS , 40 + year old Saverese survived the punch, and went the distance.

    Sultan is going to demolish HGHfield. Too much handspeed, ring movement, power. You HGHfield fans are in for a reality check, dont forget to give Iggy credit when he slaughters Steroidfield.

    I'm going to have to say the Sultan who fought circles around a shitty Briggs soundly decisions the Evander who fought circles around a shitty Savarese. But there's no guarantee we won't get some other version of either.
