    If I was aked yesterday, I would have to say no, but after giving careful consideration to it this morning I would have to say that he is. Holy's been meditating for many moons about going 12 rounds with the GOAT Sugar and the lessons he's learned, albeit Sugar carried him either out of respect or pity. I would have to say he is ready for anyone.

    If Holyfield needs money as bad as I've heard he does... why not fight more often? I'm not talking about guys that could seriously hurt him, there are plenty of bums Holyfield could still knockout in a few easy rounds. Take the Buck Smith path... why not?

    Instead of worrying about working his way up to a Klitschko level fighter he should be trying to work his way up to a Mo Harris level fighter.

    He could still beat guys like Fres Oquendo, Oliver McCall, Dominick Guinn, and maybe some of the CWs who have jumped up like Mormeck and Cunningham. Maybe start with a guy like Darnell Wilson, then Mo Harris, etc. Fight about 6 times a year, make money, keep what's left of your brain.

    Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Valuev again or Michael Grant.

    problem is, a 49 year old man cannot keep up that kind of pace and fight 4 or 5 times a year, his body wont make it. if the fight doesnt do it, the training will take a toll on him. and valuev hasnt fought in 3 years and you might as well consider him retired
