    I do want to say one thing about this fight. The one way Evander can win is by working Valuev's body. He cannot outbox Valuev. He cannot reach his chin much, and if he tries he will be countered. He has to almost get his mind on hitting the body and maybe get a good bodyshot in, or maybe wear the body down where he starts landing punches to the head after working the body for a few rounds and Valuev starts to lean and be less mobile. although I know he is not mobile. It is not impossible, but improbable. That is the one thing good about having so many champs, Valuev cannot be that good. Klitchkos are the real champs. So Evander could win.. Crazy isn't it?

    It's not worth it, that fight should be on HBO.

    Any Chance the fans will start chanting "Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves" and Ivan Calderon ride in on Valuevs shoulders?

    Wouldn't it be something if Rahman won the title from Klitchko and Holyfield from Valuev? Then Toney will have beaten both guys and yet not have his title.

    You'd think after the disasterous buyrates for Holyfield-Toney and Holyfield-Oquendo they'd have learnt their lesson...

    Laughable to have this cost money to the viewers. I would 100% tune in if it was free, but there is no chance in hell I will pay for it.

    That is such a joke!!! Maybe they could try a little harder to kill boxing while it's still on life support here in North America!

    Sorry, neither Valuev nor Holyfield are currently Boxing PPV material. Maybe 99 cent YouTube PPV.

    Nobody wants to carry this on regular TV..... Let's make it PPV!!

    I wonder what other PPV Events we can look forward to in 2009:

    Bowe vs. Golota III -- $44.95
    Ibeabuchi vs. Byrd II -- $29.95
    Ibragimov vs. Austin II -- $39.95
    Tua vs. Ruiz II - $49.95
    Holyfield vs. Bowe IV $999.95!!!!
