    LMAO. The Holyfield/Ibragimov fight is being shown on ESPN Classic. Just goes to show how big of a farce it is that someone can fight a bunch of nobodies and then get a title shot he doesn't deserve for about the 5th time in his career.


    According to a recent report by writer Dan Rafael, Sultan Ibragimov's defense of the WBO heavyweight title against former four-time champ Evander Holyfield is very likely to be televised live on ESPN Classic.
    The event, scheduled for Oct. 13 in Moscow, Russia, would also air on the internet by way of ESPN360

    it's actually a good thing so Sultan can get more exposure especially if he looks good in that fight.

    How convenient to leave Fres Oquendo off of the list...he had a good record, and has fought some good comp.

    Focusing on the names mentioned drives your point home a little better though. :good

    Oqueerdo is the only the legit fighter HGHfield fought, indeed. Fres is lame, and shouldnt fight at all. He fights scared, runs, and holds.

    Back in the day we could watch fights on ABC, NBC, CBS not this PPV ****. ESPN CLassics is pretty good for the regular joes to tune into a heavyweight fight. If it's a good fight it could do a great job of bringing boxing back to the public's attention.

    Ali used to defend his title on good ol fashioned, FREE network TV that you got your reception for with a set of rabbit ears.

    You call someone that got beat by RUIZ worthy of mentioning on that list? He even got TKO'd by Ruiz. That is nothing to be proud of.

    Stop ****ing whining....at least it's on TV for free and one step closer to the days of CBS and ABC. Evander deserves this shot more than the Barrett's and Okhello's of the world who got shots in the last year or so.
