Where is Rocky??????
Holyfield wasn’t that good in his prime against far less intimidating opponents.

Holyfield is an example of what is wrong with boxing. While the champ he is fighting is simply a freak show attraction, Evander has no business fighting for a title.
I wpuld say they need to stop him before he sustains more damage, but I’ve heard him speak often enough to know that it’s too late for that.

Where is the theme music from 'Rocky IV' when you need it!

I’ll say one thing for Holyfield, he’s got stones.

This may be a Holmes vs. Ali deal, I’m afrad Holyfield will get seriously hurt so Don King can line his pockets in Europe.

Holyfield was an excellent cruiserweight who went nuts with steroids and became an excellent “heavyweight”.
That being said he’s out of his mind getting into the ring, he won’t be happy until he has total brain damage, his speech has already suffered a great deal.

I liked Hollyfield, mostly because before the fight where he destroyed Mike Tyson he said (then denied he said it) “You don't get enough opportunities in life to beat up a rapist.”

I’d rather see Tyson take in Valuev. It would be interesting to see what would happen to Tyson if he tried to bite Valuev’s ears.

For those old enough to remember the Cold War, this is the kind of Russian that used to scare the bejeezus out of everyone. We thought guys like this were the norm.

Holyfield wasn’t that good in his prime against far less intimidating opponents.Have you ever seen Valuev fight? He's big but he has few evident skills. The only thing that makes this fight interesting is that Holyfield is 46. If Holyfield is 36, he wins with no trouble. If Holyfield is 26, he creams Valuev, even if Holyfield is still a cruiserweight.
Valuev is the modern-day Primo Carnera - big but can't fight a lick.

Holy mackerel. I’d be running out of that ring as fast as I could.

King only has this type of thing going for him now. He lost all of the good fighters years ago.
Holyfield has never been bright, but he has some serious brain damage now.

I’ll say one thing for Holyfield, he’s got stones.
...and both of his ears.
