    Does boxing need the WBA to rule in favour of Holyfield, personally I just want Holyfield to retire but he has been cheated out of a World Championship belt in my eyes.

    The WBA investigating and finding in favour of Evander would set a precedent that results consider suspicious can and will be overturned if need be.

    We can't let results/events like Reid vs Ottke or Williams vs Airich go without enquiry or boxing will continue to suffer as a sport.

    What do you think of the WBA investigation?

    A rematch...don't expect any more than that.

    The WBA won't want to point the finger of blame directly at themselves.
    I think they'll just say it was so close, a rematch should happen...but Chagaev is due to fight Valuev first.

    I think Chagaev is going to beat Valuev anyway though, and I don't think Holyfield will care about Valuev without a belt.

    IMO it will not.

    if the WBA overule the result then every single fighters team with clout will contest every close contest in WBA title fights the WBA having set a precedent.

    Nothing more then a rematch otherwise as stated already your opening a can of worms of every fight result being contested by the losing fighters team.

    Although I have to say how long does it take these guys to review the friggin tape of the fight! Christ get a few of the guys round crack a couple of beers and watch it already!

    This reminds me, what happened to the WBA's investigation into Campillo/Shumenov 2?
