    When you are broke and in the gutter, we will start a collection fund for you in the lounge.

    Sultan is going to destroy Holyfield. Too much footspeed, handspeed, and power for this verison of Holyfield. Sultan is not going to stand there and get hit like chumps like Vinny Maddalone, Jeremy Bates, Lose Saverese. Sultan knows how to box in and out , and pick his shots with speed , (speed) which something Saverese/ Maddalone have absolutly nothing of.

    Ray Austin is a even level fighter with Larry Donald. Infact they had a draw. Compare Sultan struggling and having an even fight with Austin, as to Holyfield losing every second of the fight to Donald and being totally owned and embarressed. You think that was bad , Sultan is going to dominate him and brutally knock him out.

    If you say it was a shoulder injury, well **** Holyfield wasnt landing with either hand, nothing. It wasnt like posters, annoucers or anyone , was saying damn that right hand has power, but Holy has no left hook or vice versa.

    I see Holy getting his but whipped bad, remember Larry Donald. However, I learned not to mark off Evander. The Old Real Deal by UD.

    Chris Byrd and Michael Moorer were southpaws who gave Holy some trouble. Also, I wouldn't put too much stock into Ibragimov's performance vs Austin. That may have been the Russian's worst professional performance and he was still out of shape but he still had Austin hurt very early, he just wasn't in good enough shape to really finish him. For his own sake, Ibragimov better not waddle into the ring way overweight like Kirk Johnson did vs Vitali Klitschko. Ibragimov ought to perform much better against Holy.

    Because they got tired of The Islander upstaging them on predictions.

    Odds or no odds, I like Holyman but I don't see him pulling off a "W" in this fight. And should he win, I don't think he's strong enough to penetrate Wlad.

    C'mon. Ray Austin drew with an OLD Donald. Comparing Ray Austin with Donald is way off base. Donald was an Olympic medalist, a touted amateur fighter, who, if he had come around in this era, instead of the 90s, would like have won a title belt. Austin is a regional level fighter who started boxing late and was lucky to get hooked up with, and pushed into contention by, Don King. Two different levels of fighter.

    LMAO , Donald was 4 1/2 month older in his fight against Austin than he was against Holyfield. Austin was Donalds very next fight! You realize that dont you? Donald easily dominated every second and humiliated Holyfield, then in Donalds next fight he was held to a drew with Austin.

    Agree. If Holyfield is a big underdog, this fight could mean KA-CHING!.

    It's difficult to figure out how their respective styles enter into advantages and disadvantage. My inclination is that Ibragimov's awkward southpaw style and quickness will may stack up well against Holy but Ibragimov's seemingly reckless agression plays into Holy's counterpunching ability.

    And a beautiful left hook like the one that Holyfield dropped Savarese with would certianly drop Ibragimov, as well.

    Gotta remember SI is a southpaw. He'd have to come wide with el gancho.

    Yeah, because Savarese is know for having an outstanding chin. Right? Kirk Johnsson ****ing crushed Lou with a left hook that layed him out badly for a KO .

    You cant possibly throw a better left hook and Lou survived it. Lou is also know for his tremendous speed as well, that is at least as fast a land turtle . Holyfield is not even going to touch Iggy.
