Holyfield Poll

I am a big Holyfield fan but I honestly cannot see Holyfield win four. But he could easily win against Ibragimov.

holyfield should quit before he gets hurt

Before the fight it's "God tells my i'm going to win" after a win it's "i'd like to thank god" or if your Mayweather "i'd like to thank me" after a loss it's "god says it's my destiny to win all four belts so i'll be back" but he lied to you once evander, cant you get the message.....God is fuc#ing with you !! religion is all well and good but when you become deluded by it then that can be dangerous as we see with what goes on in the world.

He wants to show he is a religious man, I hate atheists that try to shove the fact that they don't believe in god. He didn't say it for YOU he said it for himself and is giving thanks if anything YOU should keep the fact that you don't believe to yourself. I remember 'God' predicted Evander to KO Lewis in the 3rd round of their first fight, he was so convinced that the KO would happen. Maybe God should send him a sign that he is no longer good enough to be a top Heavyweight. It's a sad fact of life but we all get old, even god-fearing athletes.

You're right homie, I was being a hater. But I just don't like to have to hear it in the post-fight interviews. If there were a god, he wouldn't give a fuck who wins the fight. The religion's fine for some people but I personally prefer those people keep it to themselves He wants to show he is a religious man, I hate atheists that try to shove the fact that they don't believe in god down other peoples throats.

Holyman is not good anymore he wont beat a man like the champ he couldnt beat briggs who I thought would unify Holyman should go to bed now I love heavyweights best but what do i think of the champ and the other russians? I am not ready to accept them i wish Brewster would have beat the champ again Can someone prevent him from posting again?

Who knows, Klitchsko might get ko'd again by the time Evander catches up with him. I think to win all four he'd have to go through both Klitschko's. He's got it in him to win 1, maybe 2 if he picks his fights right. Personally i hope he hangs up his gloves after beating Ibragimov before someone does him damage for life. The division is poor at present and if Lennox wanted to he could come back and win a belt, but there are a few decent fighters out the that could seriously hurt Evander as he doesnt know when to stop. Too much heart maybe?

Evander would have to beat Wladimir Klitchko for that, he is considered the best HW in the world and simply the real champ if we could pick one. But I won't even waste my time thinking about a matchup like this.

Real Deal Well........Evander has won a "belt" 30 times.. or at least 30 different belts or defended and retained "A" belt 30 times. No mean feat! The most recent?.. A USBA heavywieght title belt with a win over Frez Oquendo.. So to qualify the question 1) how many "Real" belts has he won so far?? 4?? (all the following are IMO and bear in mind....I'm drunk!) Well lets see....(cruiser belts aside) #1 beats a blown up fat ass buster douglas...this is (IMO) a real belt win. Its not his fault that after the greatest win in boxing for a f*ck of a long time Buster comes in looking like Rosie Odonald after a 3 week chocolate fondue party. (WBC WBA IBF) Defends agains Foreman,Cooper and Larry Holmes! but these somehow don't count for sh1t since he already had the belt??? I don't get it! OH I see!! you have to Lose the belt first so you can RE capture it so it counts?? Ok lose it to riddick bowe and then gets it back Ok we all agree?? So thats #2! Now..since he loses to Micheal Moorer (1994) and then wins it back in 1997 (WBA IBF) thats gotta be 3! Now.. he beats the sh1t out of Tyson TWICE! (remember.. the baddest man on the planet who people were afraid would KILL evander after the Spinx 90 sec fight?) Thats GOTTA count for one! so what are we at?? 4? a Lennox Lewis win would have for sure been #5 (but he lost) The rest? John Ruiz (WBA) Larry Donald (NABC) and the latest Frez Oq (USBA) don't count for crap.. BUT!!! I would give him one for the win over RAY MERCER! to make it #5 Merciless ray mercer!!! had a head like punching a fire hydrant! SO....can he do anything against the current crop that would count as a "legitimate" credit for #5 (or #6 for me)..........................no sad to say...........no..... he can't do it anymore...... could be beat some one who has a "belt" sure maybe.... So here's my question to you all...... Which fighter to would Evander have to beat to earn him credit for one more "CHAMPIONSHIP" belt? regardess of belts currently held or not held. I respectfully await your submissions

You don't think he'd have a chance against Maskaev, do you? Let me tell you this, I was a holyfield fan, but prime Holy versus this boy (Maskaev) is a pretty tough fight to call. I can't agree with that, prime Holyfield held his own against fighters like Lewis, Tyson, Bowe, and Moorer. He would defeat Maskaev with ease.

He has worked hard to get where he is at and deserves respect for the things he did. He obviously didn't just sit back and wait for miracles to happen. If religion is his thing then good for him, but he has done great things and worked very hard for it. If I boxed I would look up to Holyfield for his dedication and heart. You're right homie, I was being a hater. But I just don't like to have to hear it in the post-fight interviews. If there were a god, he wouldn't give a fuck who wins the fight.

Yea no shit, that's part of why I don't like him anymore. I never support an athlete who attributes his success to supernatual causes He has worked hard to get where he is at and deserves respect for the things he did.

Evander has been equating his personal glory with God's grace for a long time now.. Weird shit.. If God really wants to help he'll send us a few worthy Heavyweights.

i'll bet 500 he beats Ibragimov

Britbulldog - I'll have a wager with you on that if you want. I know you've only just joined, but if he doesn't win any as I said then you give me 500pts, and I'll give you 1000pts for every belt he wins. How's that?

cheers, i'm thinking two but heart says four

This is my first post, can you tell? have i done it correctly? Yea its good now. I think he will win 2 belts. But he will most likely continue to fight. Welcome to the Boards.

I think he has a chance in his next fight, Maskeav won't have a belt after his next fight(I firmly believe he'll lose) so the rest of the Champs are ones that Holyfield cannot beat. You don't think he'd have a chance against Maskaev, do you? Let me tell you this, I was a holyfield fan, but prime Holy versus this boy (Maskaev) is a pretty tough fight to call.
