whats a better test for 1st heavyweight fight........tillis vs holyfield.....or barrettt against haye......????:smoke:smoke:smoke
Both were old, probably Barrett since tillis was 41, but Tillis was alot better than Barrett in his younger days. Both safe fights but then again tillis wasn't ranked as high as Barrett so Barrett the better fight, Haye is gonna blast him out quick.
Holyfield had six fights before getting Buster Douglas. Haye is looking in from outside, trying to get there with only one or two fights. Haye ought to have a bit more respect.
Going for the most respected HW after only one fight takes balls. The Barret fight is only to give Haye the smallest piece of respect needed to make the fight with Klit a possiblity. Some may say its for the money but i think its for the glory.
Holyfield would have probably fought Tyson his 1st heavyweight fight if it was offered to him. I can't see him turning it down.
