    I will be the first to wonder--Holy--being 44--beats his last four...I'm just a watcher--but he looked good--Duran Robinson Tyson were already far gone at this age.
    He showed up--In shape, active as anyone could hope for..still has a killer left hook.
    Tyson gets out of prison and beats McNeely, Mathis, Bruno, and Sedon--and people were going nuts--
    Holyfield does the same and he is fighting nobodies?????
    Vlad beats Brewster---and again --people go nuts over it.
    Vlad is a proven champ--(at this point).--he beat people they put in front of him.
    I am really perplexed---Holyfield has done so much for this sport and still gets dissed--Good Lord--thank you Evander--you have a goal--andf whether you win or lose next time?---you are there---what an inspiration !!!!!

    Yes Holyfield did look good against Savarese, and he still shows that he is a mean aggressive fighter inside the ring. He also showed he can fight hard against a big strong guy for 10 rounds. I think that Emanuel Steward will watch the Savarese fight and want it for Wlad, because he knows Evander will make it rough, and get inside to rough Wlad up. Its a great fight to see how he handles a fighter that has a lot of ring smarts, and will do what it takes to get inside and rough Wlad up. Its also a real nice payday for all parties involved.
    That being said, its going to be really hard for Evander to get past the jabs and short lefthooks of Klitschko, but its a great fight for the sport and its the one fight I would like to see in the heavyweight division besides a rematch with Peter.

    I wasn't here to debate Tyson or his age--I know he is younger

    ItÂ’s not a same thing with Tysons comeback. Tyson won WBC and WBA titles and Holyfield has yet to win top 20 fighters. Beating Brewster is also far more impressive feat than beating Lou Savarese so thats why Wlad gets peoples respect.

    I would hate to see Holy get brain damage from Wlad's jabs.
    I admire Holy but he's too far past his prime I don't want to see him get hurt.
