CAN EVANDER BE THE REAL DEAL AGAIN?

This is how long Evander Holyfield has been around. He was a member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic boxing team that the Soviet Union boycotted.

Now Holyfield will travel to Moscow to take on WBO champion Sultan Ibragimov for a chance to win an unprecedented fifth heavyweight title on Oct. 13.

This fight really is the final nail in the coffin of Heavyweight boxing.

 

Ibragimov is simply a terrible fighter, and even a faded Evander should be able to beat him.

 

Ibragimov - Saverese, would've looked like Ibragimov - Mora.

Evander doesn't go 5 rounds in this one.

 

Evander will never be the real deal again but he may be able to get a piece of the title in today's HW division.

 

Who knows. All the guys with titles now seem like they are healthy and can fight a full 12 rounds. Anybody who's not in top shape and hasn't fought a decent fighter most likely isn't going to win any title against any of the four. That includes Holyfield. Looking good against a walking dead man in Savarese is meaningless. Who hasn't already destroyed Savarese?
Holyfield looked like crap to me against Oquendo also. No punch output, no real ability. I think he's done.

 

Holyfield is a terrible fighter, Ibragimov will beat the shit out of him.

 

:: Thats longer then some (more like many) posters here have even been alive !

 

Longer then me.

 

Ibragimov is 32 and terrible. Evander is 44 and terrible.. You do the math...

 

76(Terrible)2 = Awful fight
