    If Evander wins I am quite sure we will see a rematch with Valuev. Oh the epic war! Maybe a trilogy with Povetkin, too!

    I see "legit contender" and "great matchup" here... I'll guess it's sarcasm :blood

    I've no problem with Povetkin beating up old Holy, but we're not gonna call this a World Title fight. Bogus belt, even more bogus challenger. Even "Tank" Williams would be more "legit"

    People would do anything to try and discredit the WBA. It aint the WBA's fault if you dont like this fight!!

    Holyfield has earned a rating by beating a 64-3 fighter and a 48-5-3 fighter in his last two wins. And Povetkins promoter gets to decide who he fights aside from mandatories.

    winners of this fight:
    Povetkin- beats a former world champ
    Evander- pays some retroactive child support
    Loser:
    fans of boxing-missing the opportunity of watching some good HW action.

    I dont know, but did you see the look on Holyfields face as he watched Liakovich get finished off..... he looked like he admired the way that fight ended.... insane look in Evanders eyes kinda like a childmolester seeing a mother change her babys diaper in a park....

    It's all in who shows up. Will it be Dr. Holyfield :eek:ld? Or Mr. Fields:boxer?

    Certainly is looking like it is. Pathetic, but it's not like it's a real title anyway. I say let the old man go out with a bang. Hell, at least he'd put up a better fight than Haye did vs Wlad.
