    LOL:lol:

    Now that's the kind of sarcasm that I'd like to see from you a bit more often Sonny. Damn, its good to have the old Sonny back:good

    Now here is some sarcasm of my own.

    If Holyfield was half the man that Vitali Klitschko was, then maybe some of us would be calling him a fighter. ;)

    Im sure Freddie Roach said Holyfield was among his top three heavyweights of all time.

    there is some truth to this, but a lot of hyperbole is used to make the point.

    Not everyone thought that Moorer won his first fight with Holyfield. Wasn't there some sort of controversy over the scoring of a round with a knock down?

    Oh well. It was no schooling. Moorer schooled Holyfield about as much as Leonard schooled Hearns in their rematch.

    I agree.
    It's an insult to Vitali to even compare the two of them. Holyfield couldn't even beat Chris Byrd and then blamed his defeat on a bad shoulder !
