    I thought a bit about this fight. At even money, I'd pick Valuev, BUT based on the way they match up, I think Holyfield has an excellent chance for the upset.

    Valuev seems open to counters, and the hook, which is still something Holyfield can do.

    you do know Valuev is the size of a bus? and it will take something harder than a 15 year past sell by date Holyfield to knock him down

    Even money? Valuev should be like an 8-1 favorite. I think Valuev is going to destroy him, finally sending the wounded, aging warrior into retirement.

    Im sorry but Mr Holyfield is going to be knocked out in this fight, 215lbs at 46 or 47, he dosen't have a prayer against a man who will out weigh him by 120 or so lbs, i think the moment Holy gets hurt the ref might pull the plug to save the old man a serious injury..

    A younger Holy, for sure.

    But at this age, I have my doubts.
