    This is actually really good news! This means that the fight is going to get mainstream American media coverage and we wont have to watch it on a premium channel.

    Well said. Holyfiled is better than the Okhello's and Austin's of boxing. I think Ibragimov wrecks the old warrior. If its on EPSN, I will watch it. If it were on PPV for $24.95, no thanks.

    Speaking of Ibragimov, he might not be the best of the champions, but he is the most exciting of the champions.

    Can someone explain to me what Ibragimov, Briggs or Liaykovich did to get their shots at the WBO heavyweight title ?

    I hears lots of BITCHING about "Holyfield's done nothing to deserve this shot" but what exactly did those three "champs" do before winning this title ?

    ..... and Lamon Brewster.
    What exactly were his credentials when he fought Wlad the first time for this title ?

    :huh

    I agree with El Rey and Brooklyn. This fight being on ESPN Classic would be a good thing. Anytime a significant fight is available to a wider audience, it should be a boost for the sport. Now it's up to Holy and Sultan to put on a good show.

    Well, if you look at the available ooponents, Holyfield is not that bad of a choice. I think he will be pretty competative but Ibragimov will probably win a UD with something like 8-4, 9-3.

    Worth mentioning on the list...??? Of course, afterall Oquendo is the only Holy opponent left off the list...and the original poster of the comments already conceeded that Fres is the legit fighter of the bunch. I don't care for the guy, just calling for a balanced perspective. I prefer Savarese to Oquendo actually.

    A heavyweight title fight that's not on PPV, sounds good to me.
