Evander Holyfield.. are there ten heavyweights better than him

[jimmy1569]

Of course Holyfield is an ATG. When did I suggest that he wasn't????

Now what is your point???

His point was to get YOU to stop dissing the oldtimer who is hell bent on retreiving all his former belts plus the WBO one as well. It's been his goal since he WRONGfully lost his last unification match to Lewis who he was getting the better of in all the meaningful exchanges while Lewis was landing meaningless jabs towards the end of the bout & benefitting from a makeup call. It was Evander who was landing the most telling shots of the bout.. was taking it to Lewis & staggered him in the 7th rd.

All one had to see was both there facial appearances at the end of the bout to realize Evander was the better man that night. He would've retired that night beating EVERY man he ever faced with at least top 3 or 4 heavyweight resume but a crooked makeup call saw to it that he'd keep on fighting til this day trying to pick up fragmented pieces of the belts Lewis threw in the trash to all 3 governing bodies rather than to face the eventual champion successors of all 3 belts.

Regardless.. since he's been reinstated.. his only losses were back to back title shots vs Ibragimov who was running all night & scared to engage a 46 yr old fighter & Valuev who some feel he won ALL 12 RDS against... he struck out in his bid but is looking for his final shot vs either brother. 2 W'S in a row is all it would take for him to retire as the best heavyweight that ever lived. I suggest we buckle down & stop whining about the Klit's comp & how overweight & clueless they are & give the ONLY fighter out there capable of beating them a chance... you know the whole world will watch it.. HBO would put it on there network for sure.. regardless of how they would market it.

Peeps will just turn in to see how badly hurt Evander will be but they just might get the surprise of a lifetime & the ultimate of all ultimate sports stories.. if anyone is capable of defeating such insurmountable odds it's Evander & the fact that no one is even giving him the benefit of the doubt is a travesty considering his history. He's already on equal terms when it comes to being in 100% physical shape like the brother's (how many heavyweights curren tly can say that?..


I'LL GIVE YOU the answer A big fat zero) He even has more boxing experience & knowledge than both the brothers (again .. only one who can say that) & has been in at least 6 title fights with guys almost as big or bigger than either bro) what are we afraid of.. WLAD is 35.. Vitali is 40.. Evander is 50.... NO one mentioned here is a spring chicken.. in fact... most consider 35 as a heavyweight that is past his prime.... let's make it the phock happen!

Lmao.... if only i were that deviant but thx for the compliment nonetheless. Nope.. i am as sincere as it gets. Evander Holyfield & Vitali Klitschko are my two favorite fighters. As far as beating an alltime great is concerned.. when you've ONLY had the opportunity to face one of them & sent them into permanent retirement while your only other opportunities left is to fight your brother or a 50 yr old alltime great.. i'd say it's not in the brother's control as to what alltime great you somehow perceive in that warped Vader mind of yours they seem to be ducking...

The object of this thread was to point out the ONLY available ALLtime great heavyweight matchup that is left in the division.. there's no other type of matchup of it's kind out there for at least a decade or two. I suggest we make it happen & everyone crying about the beating the old man will get.. should stfu & see what REALLY happens before they're so sure about there pre****tion.

I am not dis*****g that you like Holyfield whatsoever Bro, but to rely on a 50 year old Holyfield as part of an 'All Time Great Matchup' is as laughable as it can possible get to boost the Klits' inept standings.
