    Yes, I know..Holyfield is old, and shot beyond recognition.

    But what if he outpoints the giant? I think he'll want to fight one of the Klitschko brothers next, and I really think that's the best thing for Holyfield. He needs to really get knocked out HARD before he'll ever realize it's over.

    If he manages to acheive the impossible against Valuev, he will no doubt rise in historical standings. I don't know what the odds are on this fight, but he may very well be the biggest underdog in history in the eyes of fight fans. Should he win, he may indeed campaign to fight the Klitschko's, but then again his heart was set on winning one last title. So maybe one more miracle will put things to rest.

    I think Valuev will just jab him for 12 rounds, but I'd love to see Holyfield prove me wrong

    maybe then Holyfield will get the fight with Wlad he so disparately wants...and Wlad can pick up another belt.

    Exactly. Since Valuev wants no part of unification vs. the Klitschkos maybe Holy winning is the best thing for the division.

    He has what 12 kids? by 7 different women. Evander has to fight on what else can he do? He's practically mush in the head already. 100% guarenteed he will have pugilistic dementia.

    could be great for boxing in the respect that they will be a champion that joe public will no who it is.or could be bad in the respect that a 46 yr old bloke is deamed the best in the world.i want him to win so that he can reach his goal and then retire.
    if he looses this time i hope he finds the sense to retire.

    Something tells me Holyfield beating Valuev is not a scenario we need to contemplate.
