You forgot to add in something. ...arguably lost to (and was dropped by) Ray Austin. Sultan is terribly overrated. He IS a well skilled HW, but has decent power at best, is slow (TERRIBLY FLATFOOTED and plodding), and measures his shots too much. He beat Shannon Briggs and suddenly became the second coming of Ivan Drago. If Evander was 60 I might still pick him. The guy defies logic still being this skilled at this age. Still has the chin, still has the ring intelligence, and still has the skills. Lost a step or four in speed, power (tho still strong as a bull) and stamina. But hell, he is still EVANDER THE REAL DEAL HOLYFIELD!!!! Holy by late TKO or UD. (only bad part about it is, if he wins, I dont think he can beat ANY of the other title holders...and would get hurt VERY badly vs Wlad....)
Holy looked reasonably decent against ancient and never very good Lou Saverese. Throw out the Austin fight. Everybody has a bad day at the office. Sultan was fat, overconfident and employed bad tactics in that fight. He's corrected those flaws under the direction of Jeff Mayweather. Sultan has fast combos and hits hard. Youth will be served.
Don't forget Foreman almost lost this fight. And while I agree Moorer was better than Ibragimov, his chin wasn't. Neither is Holyfield power anywhere close to Foreman... but I may be wrong since I forgot about his deadly headbutts .
Try Ibrag mid TKO. Haye early KO Cotto late tKO Floyd TKO 9ish, shutout, Hatton has absolutely NO chance and gets thrashed. Juan Diaz late TKO. Povetkin mid TKO. JMM late TKO.
I believe in Evander Holyfield. He is a true Warrior and will be World-Champion angain. Go Evander the 1962 are simply the best :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy
Well he did turn his back on the Politburo if u remember. I'm sure he had a stern talking to after the fight if you know what I mean. Wikipedia says he was 100-0 as an amateur. Not bad. :bbb
should be fun times cause i have most of them different to your list sue ibragimov by TKO or UD Kessler by UD Haye by TKO mosely by UD hatton by SD juan by UD jmm by UD povetkin by UD
We can't give up faith, find it where it was lost, search anywhere, portents, signs, follow them to the edge of within. I often think about the hereafter when he owes no more to the future and can be just a man but now he is to be that very stuff of future memory, a fair time that cannot be forgotten and because it cannot be forgotten, that fair time may come again, what was and the dream of what could be - the future will take roots in the past and it will be done. Hallelujah!
Holyfield was not only dropped but stopped by a fat, 36 year old middleweight. At least Austin was a legit 6'6 260lb heavyweight.
