    I can't understand why there can't be a 'unifaction' of the 2 fake belts. Would be even funnier if the WBA crowned the winner 'Super Champion' in that case, like they're supposed to according to their losely interpreted rulebook. :D

    Man imagine if someone unified the WBA Regular, WBO Regular, WBF, IBU, and WBU titles!

    Safe? Holyfield could be your grandpa for christ sake and you want to throw him into the ring with the man who would have made a pinata out of him even in his heydays.

    Yeah he did. I saw it on TV over here in Australia.

    Fight lasted about 60 seconds.

    Povetkin will knock him out. I hate to see it.....................Holyfield was a warrior in his day and can still beat some out there, but I can't see how he has any real chance against Povetkin, but he might make lots of money on this fight in Germany because of his name, I hope he does...................

    There are rumors that Toney will face the winner of this match.

    Great to see Povetkin taking on real challengers instead ducking JT.


    Toney will be WBA HW champion in 2012. :happy
