    It is time for the Holy one to shine.

    I don't know.

    I hope he loses. The main reason is because I hate how the alphabet soup has made the whole "3-time, 4-time, 10-time" world champ thing sound better than it really is.

    Holyfield has done a lot of great things in his career, but I don't like how he'd be called a "5-time heavyweight champion of the world". 2 were linear, and the 4th against Ruiz was complete paper title junk that got Lewis stripped of the WBA.

    He is not heavyweight champ of the world. What he is doing is no greater than what Holmes did when he beat WBO champ Mercer. It is simply impressive when an old warhorse keeps ringing those bells.

    Lewis only won 2 linears.

    Riddick Bowe was linear when Lewis got the WBC strap in 1992 when Bowe and his team avoided him.

    Lewis won the linear in 1998 from Briggs, then lost it and regained it against the Rock.

    He doesn't know when to stop. He's not enjoyable to watch anymore, and he's putting his health at risk. He needs to quit.

    I just hope Holyfield wins, he brings more attention to Heavywieght boxing than Iggy does.

    Holyfield has a damn good shot in this fight. He may not be what he used to be, but Sultan is definitely beatable. Hell, Ray Austin almost did it!
