    Holyfield would not last 5 rounds.

    I think after fighting Brewster coming off a loss, Wladimir's next opponent at least has to be coming off of a win.

    As cool as it would be to see, Valuev losing his fight to Chagaev does not warrant a thrilling matchup against Wlad, who is supposed to be a champion who holds a title. Titleholders are not supposed to fight losers, especially not back to back. LOL



    Rahman is not seen as a threat, Holyfield has not yet rebuilt his worthyness, yet, and Valuev was just beaten in his last fight.

    Sanders or Virchis are about all I see as legit opponents out of who is available.

    for chrissake don't let him fight holy. he's such a nice guy. let him him win a title from the other champs then retire. he'll get killed against wlad IMO

    you want a shot 45 year old seconded by a shot 41 year old, that says everything, of course its in keeping with a one eyed man and ray austin.

    I dont think Holyfield would do good against Ibragimov. ibragimov is in great shape lately. but Chagaev i beleive can be a serious threat to Wlad.

    Holyfield would a be a good fight to wait for the winner of Sultan/Chagaev.
    I'd rather see Holyfield retire, but i think a TKO loss to Wlad is the only way he'll retire.

    A Sanders or Valuev fight would be interesting too. Or Liakhovic, many people thought he'd beat Wlad one year ago.

    I personally don't class Valuev as exactly coming off a loss, as I scored the fight to him. Why can't he fight Valuev after Valuev knocks out some tomato can in quick time part way through training for Wlad?

    Not someone over 40 who has been in semi retirement for 4 years after being brutalised by wlads brother, or a 45 year old who people ridicule Lewis`s win over when the guy was 36! What use is a win over Holyfield at this point?
    After his last 2 opponents for his world title came in off of a draw and a loss, Austin and Brewster, id say it was time to fight someone in winning form. That at least should be a prerequesite to get a world title fight!

    If Holy does fight Wlad his entrance music should be the Rocky Theme tune or "some where over the rainbow"

    anyone coming off a win and who isnt injured or over 40 would be a start. He has had 2 nothing opponents in a row, its time to get serious. This is a world title he is supposed to be defending. There is a fantastic article on this sites news page you should read about this.
