Infact, the next 25 on thier list beat him aswell. Holyfield couldn't beat anyone in the top 50, until proven otherwise.
:clap: I think there is a huge difference with Evander after he had the shoulder surgery.In a weak division YES he is a force.
:: If he thought James Toney hit hard in his heavyweight debut,... Fuck, I'd even pick Golota over Holyfield.
He didnt do horrible tonight. He would have a slim Chance agianst sultan but anyone else would knock him out. They guy during the fight was sayin He would beat Sergi. There is no shot in hell he would beat him.
YEP WRITING YOUR NAME WITH A ROTATOR CUFF INJURY IS HARD JUST IMAGINE HAVING TO FIGHT ANOTHER PERSON WITH A TORN ONE@:flip: OH THATS RIGHT THEY JUST TAKE ROIDS TO MAKE UP FOR IT....SEEEE YAAAA IN 2008 CHEATER!
Oh please Briggs never showed he punches that hard..he just cought sergei with the right punch thats all...plus you gotta THROW to land and Briggs hardly throws anything..and on top off that Holy took best shots from Bowe Tyson Foreman Lewis etc etc so fuck briggs...holy beats him easy
:: I'm not talking about Holyfield in the 90's, I'm talking about the Holyfield right NOW, the one who couldn't take James Toney's power,.. the one who apparently "Can still be a force in this weak division"...I guess this division musn't be as strong as when Holyfield was being battered by Byrd and Donald. Lou Saverese is not a top 70 heavyweight, if this is your evidence that Holyfield can still be a "FORCE" then good luck to you and Legendary,..I look forward to reknewing the laughter.
What i mean is i'd give Holy a real good shot to beat up Maskaev..you can see with the way he was popping his jab that the cuff had hampered him alot.
I'm sorry, but Maskaev would've knocked Savarese the fuck out in less than 5 rounds. You'll see eventually if and when Holyfield decides to step up and fight someone in the top 30, maybe Povetkin can take a step back in class, and fight Holyfield next. Evander is done, he's no 'force' anymore, and the division is stronger now, than it was when he was being put on the spit by Byrd and Donald.
If Holy gets a shot at the title, lets just hope they fix the fight so its guaranteed he'll win, just so his old ass will retire already.
The sad thing is that Evander will likely get a shot at one of the belt holders. Then he will get embarrassed and his tarnished legacy will loose even more of it's luster.
Sultan would embarrass Holyfield.. Sure Sultan can't fight, but he still has the relexes and stamina of a 32 year old.. Holyfield, on the other hand, is a very, very shot 44 year old.. And by the way, Larry Donald can't fight either and he made Holyfield look ridiculous when Holy was only 41.. I know it's tough when a fighter gets old, but face it, Evander is old even beyond his years. His reflexes and stamina make him look closer to 55 than 45. And sadly, he doesn't even have a big punch to rely on.. Nope, Sultan would destroy Evander..
Sultan stinks as a fighter. Sultan couldn't destroy an out of shape, asthmatic, steroid junkie in Shannon Briggs.
