    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that since he never held the WBO title, Holyfield was not interested in pursuing it, instead wanting a shot at one of the "Big 3" title holders.

    Or is it because none of the Big 3 want him, and he sees Sultan as an easy mark?

    Holyfield's career is not going to end well. I hope that this Ibragimov convinces him to hang em up. As much as I respect Holyfield, what he is doing right now is basically based on smoke and mirrors. Careful match making has got him back in contention, but that is gonna end when he fights a younger, faster, and aggressive fighter like Ibragimov.

    Holyfield has got 50% chance to beat Ibragimov in my book......
