Does Sultan have enough power to ko Holyfield?

Im not too sure unless he can produce a prolonged beating that results in a corner stoppage. I see this one as a UD-Ibragimov.

 

Probably not, he may win by UD if he stay active the whole fight.

 

gotta disagree about that

 

Jeremy Bates hurt Holyfield. James Toney hurt Holyfield

 

Through accumulative punishment

 

Who's the genius who is going to tell us that Holy was KO'd by a
"blown up MW...???" :roll:

 

Ibragimov is a stinging hard puncher when he wants to attack. He busted up Lance Whitaker and made him quit.

I think Sultan will fight more aggresively this time out, as he won't be wary of Holy's one punch power like he was against Briggs and won't have to contend with a long jab ala' Austin.

Sultan will most probably swarm Holy and I could see a stoppage toward 8 or 9, if not that then an easy UD.

 

No matter how shot he may be, Holyfield still has a huge heart. I don´t think that Sultan will put him to sleep, a TKO is more likely IMO. But I think it will be a UD in Sultans favour.

 

I doubt he'll drop him for 10, but I think he'll TKO him on accumulation

People thinking Holyfield's going to win this fight are living a dream, it's wishful thinking and nothing more. And that's not because Sultan is great. It's because Holyfield has lost decisively against the last 3 rated opponents he's fought. He was shut out and dominated by an old Larry Donald.

Now I can't wait for someone to bring up a faded and inactive Fres Oquendo who was nothing but a fringe contender with a shaky jaw at his best. But no, Ibragimov is on a lot higher level than anybody Holy's fought since Toney and will win in a one sided TKO

 

You didnt just compare Evander Holyfield to Briggs and Austin....did you???

Holyfield may not have better power than Briggs (obviously), but he is a hundred times more accurate and aggressive (plus his workrate in three rounds will top Briggs for a whole fight). He may not have the reach of Austin, but he has a ten times better jab and again is much, MUCH more accurate.

Sultan is a good boxer, but is getting ridiculously overrated as of late. Evander is going to win this one....and frankly I cannot wait!!!

 

I takes Ruiz-like power to put Holyfield down.
Evander is going the distance.

 

I think youse all have got it backwards.

Its a matter of if Holyfield has the power to KO Ibrag, or will Holy decision Ibrag by outboxing him for 12.

THOSE are the variables. Holy wins, but how he wins is the question.

Oh, Yeah! Its all ABOUT the Real Deal, this time.

 

whatever.........I think your more punch drunk than Evander:!:

 

Douibtful. Holyfield - even today's Holyfield - has an iron chin. And Sultan isn't exactly Earnie Shavers. Don't be surprised if Evander pulls the upset either - any guy who hit the canvas and gets a draw against Ray Austin just ain't that good.
