    Out of all of the current heavyweights making comebacks out there, who do you think has the best chance of actually winning a belt? And why?

    I was thinking of him, but he has been fighting regularly and is not really comebacking.

    I was going to say McCall but you're right, he's been around.

    Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield - yeah, his skills have declined, but from ATG levels. The rest of 'em didn't start out so lucky - most of 'em were mediocre in their "primes." :yep

    What no love for Terrible Tim? Given he's the oldest of the lot I pick him.

    Hopefully none of them, but if forced to pick off this list, I'd have to *cough* *wheeze* go with Holy, only because he's the most likely to get a gift decision.

    I might have to go with Mesi though.

    The Foul Pole, easily....and that should tell you how none of these washed-up fighters trying to make a comeback have any hope of winning anything other than the NABF

    I don't know, he looked pretty sharp against that tomato can a few months ago. I was fairly surprised.

    No, they are not. This isn't even open for discussion.

    Of the names mentioned, I would expect only Holyfield & Golota to even sniff a title shot, and probably only on name power would they get a chance. Of the two, Holy has a better shot at winning, but I don't expect either will.
