  2. **** i have a feeling Holyfield isn't going to stop fighting until he ends up in a wheelchair:-(
    And he's in for a bad beating against a man a foot taller and over a hundred POUNDS heavier than he is?? WTF:patsch ..

    An absolute disgrace. **** Valuev. Someone needs to save Holy from himself.

    Even as clumsy and awkward Valuev is, he beats Holyfield badly, I'm sure.

    He has a decent jab, and I'm sure with 300+ pound behind it, it's a brutal one.

    It's not even about who wins or loses. Its the fact that Valuev is taking this fight - which is madness, that it is actually being sanctioned at all and that Holyfields health is clearly at risk.

    That's very true.

    I'm not sure how lax the medical standards are where they are fighting, but that might have something to do with it.

    And I do think Holy is at risk. His health has been at risk, and this isn't going to help.

    Has Holyfield still got the speed to dance around him, landing punches and winning on points?

    Oh no! Save Holyfield his health is at risk! Quit being a bunch of cry baby bitches. He's a big boy and can take care of himself. I'll be the 1st one to call it. Holyfield will defy all the odds and upset the Russian giant on Dec. 20th, and on top of that he will knock him down, if not out! There, you don't like, you can suck it!

    I hate to say it, but I don't think anybody is gonna knock down Valuev. He just shrugs off solid punches he's taken in the past...his skull must be 2" thick!

    Valuev is slow as **** man, But Holyfield isnt no spring chicken if Valuev starts to use that size and weight on Evander, Valuev will knock him out in brutal fashion.

    I will be routing for Evander to win his 5th title so he can retire, but something tells me winning a 5th HW title at less than 750k we will see Holyfield sell his belt to a klitschko.
