    It could look a lot like the Bert Cooper fight if Evander decides to slug. The best Shavers can hope for is a knock down. He's not going to come close to winning in any other respect.

    That's not a bad call. If Holyfield boxed him I can't see him losing, but if he slugged it out with Shavers, I think Shavers has a chance. The dude could hit. Wouldn't be the first time Holy lost because he loved a tear-up, bless him.

    If Shavers knocked out a prime Evander Holyfield, I'd eat my socks!!

    In that fight, Shavers may have floored Holyfield like he did Larry Holmes, but I think Holyfield still would have prevailed
