    If they inject Holyfield with a **** load of steroids, who knows. But most likely, Povetkin just outworks him. That's how bad the HW division is.

    He has something like 14 kids, almost all of them with different women (good Christian man that he is :patsch) Dude could fight until he's 70 and he'll still need money.

    Lol at the first few responses in the thread, tal about delusional. Povetkin would school him like Ibragimov did, Holyfield has 0 chance of winning a title now that jokes like Valuev are out of the picture.

    If the fight would take place in US and...
    if Atlas keeps "developing" Povetkin more predictable and cautious like he has...

    then The Real Deal would have a slight chance of getting a small margin points victory (no more than 5-10 % in anyhow).

    No, Holyfield has been SHOT since 2000.

    Making the '99 Lewis rematch competitive (& taking 5 of 12 rounds) was his last hurrah.

    and he will acheive his dream of becoming a world champion again then retire!!

    its funny how these governing bodies can just decide all of a sudden anyone can become world champion even if u don't beat the champ!!

    it is not impossible. But he is 49 and might by 50 by the time they fight. So I don't think he will beat a prime Povetkin with a Twenty year post prime Holyfield

    Holyfield can still fight in spurts and make use of his old legs, athletics and most of all, of his chin to absorb, punch back as hard and steal the fight. Yes, he can and that is what seems to be in front of them according to yesterday's weigh-in.

    Have you seen Zombie Holyfield vs. Sherman Williams?

    The poor oldman was getting out-fought by a morbidly obese low-level journeyman. :verysad
