I can only imagine how many top tire hw's would cum in their pants thinking about fighting Holy if he some how pulled it off. Valuev ud.
so my question is: is valuev the wba champ or is chagaev still the champ??(never quite got that) if its not a title fight its not that big a deal..but if it is then how can holyfield be a challenger since hes not wba ranked??
People are gonna neg on Evander, and call this a farce, and maybe it will be. But what if Holyfield scored the upset? This could be the sort of fight that puts boxing back in the mainstream media - a "feel good" story just like Foreman. If he can pass the physicals and get a license, who's to stop him from following his dream, however it absurd it may seem to many in the boxing community.
If boxing allows DLH vs Pac, why not Holyfield vs Valuev? I'd rather neither happened, but I'll tell you something right now......Holyfield imo has a better chance of pulling the upset than does Pac imo!
Ill be rooting for Evander. I think he has a chance of winning, he is shot, tired, and slower but he still is Evander.
Evander wants to become a champion just one more time. He asked Valuev for the fight and he gave it to him. What else can a man tell another man after he asks to square off?
I can see them trying to put Holyfield's head back on his shoulders while his severed head is screaming "REMATCH! REMATCH!"
Fights like this are the reason boxing has lost steam compared to MMA. This is why Kimbo was so hated, because he was bringing the style-over-substance pedigree that has harmed boxing but MMA mostly has been immune to so far.
