    No, I'm not talking about who would win a hypothetical match-up, the fight is in talks:

    I thought Holyfield was fighting some stepping stone in Detroit in November and then going on to fight Vitali.

    I guess Sherman "Tank" Williams (the stepping stone) pulled out?

    Holyfield will win a close one. He'll give Vitali a surprisingly difficult fight, too.

    So Tua who almost lost to Barrett vs. Holyfield who almost lost to Botha. Wlad would knock all four clowns out in one night.

    Vitali might actually go for it. It would be the logical next step down from Arreola and Briggs. Maybe Vitali is trying to train down his abilities, because he expects an Audley victory against Haye.

    I agree with Hut Hut, Evander Holyfield is no man's chump.

    I am predicting he will decision his former sparring partner, as he knows every move Tua makes, and handled him in the gym.

    This will be a good action fight between two fighters who will let it all hang out for one last chance at the Holy Grail.

    One of the greatest heavyweights ever, a clown?

    Well, you will probably have to address that question with his people, bro, whomever they are.

    It's not 1996 anymore. These two meeting in December would easily be one of the worst notable heavyweight fights in recent memory. The winner should be fighting Oliver McCall in an eight rounder in some bullshit little casino somewhere, not Vitali Klitschko.

    nowadays? pretty much

    he should have retired 10 years ago

    Unfortunately yes, now they are. It´s sad that they cannot or will not let go.

    That's only because Vitali's hands are too big for a PS3 controller.

    The current Oldyfield would be permanently retired by Vitali.

    Holyfield is still fighting?

    Sure, he fought four months ago and has another date scheduled.

    I think steroids have made him imp.. unable to continue the other thing where he has ever been any good at, so fighting is all he has left

    Prime Holy beats Vitali clearly, IMO. Ideal style. Even Oldyfield takes some rounds and does better than expected.

    I disagree.

    That's what I heard. Holyfield used Tua in training for Tyson, and Holy hammered him.

    I'll say this again.....Foreman had already slowed allot by 94 from 91. Way slower on the trigger. 91 Foreman KOs Moorer much sooner. And he'd KO Jones, IMO.

    I'm assuming this was meant for the Foreman-Jones thread in MM?

    Holyfield will be carried out of the ring in a stretcher one day

    I agree...but "oldyfield" gets killed.
     
  27. Mitchell Kane

    But then Gary Bell supposedly hammered him...and Tua then hammered bell.

    You disagree with everything I say these days, Slice! I thought we were best buds?:pathetic:

    We shouldn't have let Amir Khan and Damon Alburn drive a wedge between us like that....

    No, Tua rang Bell.
