    Comee on Oldy is too far past it to do anything in that league. Prime for prime he'd kill Haye, and that'd be his best shot now

    Yeah but you know if you dont have to fight a guy like that, you dont want to. Holyfield doesnt get discouraged like all the rest of these contenders, he will try until the end.

    I would favor Haye in a fight like that, but Evander looked pretty good against Botha.
    Yeah... I think wlad would probably beat him..

    Holy looked good cuz Botha came to fight; not run like hell....... Holy will do well with brawlers...... Boxers with savvy will out-box him over 12 rds........

    Holyfield looked old I thought but he still trains hard and is determined to win, which is more than you could say for many of the today's heavyweights.

    Holy is prolly the BEST physically fit athlete at ages 46 / 47 than anyone else on the planet Earth...... Yes, his speed and timing has dipped, but he still has conditioning like no other........
    :deal:bbb

    I wonder how Haye-Holyfield would have looked had the judges gave Oldyfield the nod against Valuev? :think

    "Haye-Holyfield" is still a possibility........... Holy with his lame WBF title and Haye looking for a "Safe" opponent to make money with......... YES! This match might just happen.......

    For the love of boxing I sure hope it dosen't happen. Holyfield will need round the clock nursing, if he's lucky that is, if he stays delusional and keeps on fighting.

    I still say Holy and his team will strive to set a deal up with team Haye later this year...........

    And look for Haye to insist on the fight be held in England with a certain sized ring and brand name gloves, etc.......

    GEEZUS!!

    Physically speaking, Holy has retained a sculpted look never seen before on a 47 year old fighter still active after 25 yrs as a pro........ WORD!

    BUT! I still swear that Holy has abused roids for many years prior to his fight with Botha here in 2010.......
