    History has shown this.

    Marciano got credit for knocking out an old Louis, Charles didn't get much respect in decisioning him. Tyson got credit for knocking out an old Holmes.

    Holyfield DOMINATED an old Foreman and an old Holmes, yets get little respect for it. People even say that Holyfield "struggled" with them, even when he won about 10 out of 12 rounds against each of them, with a lot of lopsided rounds.

    Holyfield will definitly be the croud favorite, being American, established and popular and the underdog. Ibragimov must knock him out will he be recognised.

    You are absolutely right. This is the fight that Ibragimov needs and he needs to stop Holyfield. This fight if it is made will put him into the American spotlight and lead to much bigger money and higher profile fights.

    So will Bruno. He's got one at his house and he's never out of the ****ing thing, he used to sleep in it. He's doing much better now though.

    Unless, of course, Hollfield is hurt in the ring or can't speak properly during his post fight interview. That would not be good for boxing.

    Well, he did beat the man (Briggs), that beat the man (Lyakovich), that beat the man (Brewster), so it's safe to say that he's not overrated

    Yup. I think people are really underestimating Evander here, and greatly overrating Ibragimov.:yep

    LOL to all the Briggs nuthuggers....but lets not take that too far with this site.

    Briggs may be a hard hitting HW, but he is past his prime (where he wasnt that good to begin with). Suffers from severe asthma. And beat someone by landing a bomb in a fight he was losing.

    Briggs aint the only fighter on here with an undeserved following on this site. Hell there are even Ruiz fans on here....:nut
