    Correct me if I am wrong but Holyfield was 47 years of age when he got robbed on the scorecards against then, WBA Heavyweight champion of the world Nicolae Valuev.. (please excuse if I spelled his name wrong...Valuev)

    I thought Holyfield boxed well on his toes, and even at this stage of his pro career was good enough to have scored an 8-4 or 7-5 type win over Valuev. What's your thoughts on this fight?

    Discuss.

    The fight that exposes Haye's heavyweight career. Valuev wasn't really anyhting more than a statue in the ring at that stage and shouldn't have become a titlist again after Chagaev beat him.

    The fight exposed how garbage the HW landscape was back then. Dark times.
