    he will not win and will be retired by sultan once and for all, this isn't Rocky this is the real world and Holy hasn't beat anybody of note in a long time.

    Yes, he has a very real shot at become the WBO champion. In fact, I predict him to get the job done. Since his comeback, he has been on a mission and he knows this is his last opportunity to reach his goal. He will leave it all in the ring and hopefully have his hands raised at the end.

    Iggy is nothing special, then again holyfield lost badly to Larry "THE LEGEND" Donald in 04. My money is on Iggy but it wouldnt suprise me if Holyfield won.

    Agreed. And based on what I've seen, Ibragimov looks VERY beatable. Anybody that gets decked and loses a disputed decision to Ray Austin isn't all that good, in my book.

    Holyfield by UD or mid rounds TKO

    A decent chance? Yes. Is he close to being a favourite in my book? No. But he does have a shot, because he's only a bit shot.

    This is a fight.
    If we new the outcome , then why watch it.
    Holifield may not be the once great Holifield.
    Neverthless,
    --- he has the experience
    --- he still has very good skills
    --- he is in fighting shape
    Question:
    --- What will Igbragimov bring to the table?
    --- Will Holifield have the gas tank to fight hard for 12 ?
    If he has the stamina, then I think Holifield wins easily.
    I think we have a very competative fight.
    This fight will sell.

    Holyfield stands no chance of beating any top contender or champion in the heavyweight division. Holyfield will lose. I want him to win though.

    I give Holy GOOD chance! I think he's got one good fight left in him and I'm not sold on Ibragimov's power. I thought he struggled with his draw against Austin (Wlad knocked Ray out with one hand tied behind his back in rnd2)
    He whupped the class B fighter what's his name again? Then he beat Briggs who was waaaay over sold standing there like a sand bag telegraphing his punches the day before and gasping for air while slower than than the tin man without oil. If the judges are fair I can see Holy coming away with a win by SD!
    I hope so anyway
    GO HOLYFIELD!!!

    if ibrag is smart enough to box holyfield, then evan (even with headbutts and roids) has no chance.

    if ibrag is dumb enough to trade or brawl, then 50-50
