Why Wont The Klitschkos Fight Holyfield?

They probably will now. Would've been more interesting years ago. They never fought Ruiz either. Or Toney when he was hot. Or Rahman when he was hot either. So strange.

they probably got respect for him and dont wanna kill him

if the man wants to fight and still performs at an elite level considering, the recent opposition faced they dont have many compelling options Who's Holyfield beat? And what elite level are you talking about? He beat an old Francis Botha, lost a controversial and uninspired fight with Valuev and got totally schooled by Sultan Ibragimov. Is this the elite level you're talking about?... I respect Holyfield's decision to fight on (because he has a right to make a living) but let him beat someone worth mentioning before title shot talks begin...

I wish Holyfield was 10 years younger, so Vitali could TKO him. Now doesnt mean much, but I wouldnt mind to see it.

Are you stupid? Holyfield got schooled by Ibragimov recently. A better thread title would be "why won't the Klitschko haters stop trolling?"

The Klits are in a classic "no-win" situation. If they destroy Holyfield...big deal, they were supposed to. If they struggle to win...they are not that good If Holyfield actually wins...they were over-rated and never that good in the first place

Dude, that's just a terrible idea. Why WOULD the Klitschkos fight Holyfield? He's not a top contender, he can barely compete with the fringe bums, and if he fought Wlad or Vitali he would get permanent brain damage.

Holyfield is a nice guy. And Wlad doesnt like the idea of killing a nice guy in the ring. if the man wants to fight and still performs at an elite level considering, the recent opposition faced they dont have many compelling options

He used them to help a leg injury: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxingandmma/2389404/Boxing-Klitschko-admits-steroid-abuse.html any idea on why he didnt fight holyfield?

He used them to help a leg injury: Vitali Klitschko, who defends his World Boxing Council heavyweight title against Britain's Danny Williams in Las Vegas on Dec 11, has admitted to having used steroids earlier in his career. He tested positive for a banned substance in 1996 when still an amateur and was instantly thrown off the Ukrainian boxing team for the Atlanta Olympics. Klitschko had planned to box at super-heavyweight while his younger brother, Wladimir, was entered to compete at the 201lb heavyweight limit. Wladimir, who was struggling to make his weight, took over the super-heavyweight slot and went on to win the gold medal. "Their dream was to go to the Olympics and win gold medals together," said Vitali Klitschko's spokesman, Bernd Boente. The drugs admission is made in Vitali's autobiography, which has just been released and so far is available only in German. In it, Klitschko reveals that he turned to steroids after aggravating an old leg injury he had sustained in a kick-boxing tournament. "He went to a normal Ukrainian doctor who gave him something that would heal it, but he didn't check the doping list," Boente said. Klitschko admits that it was a steroid - and shortly afterwards the substance showed up in a routine drug test. "They are not keeping this a secret," Boente said. "You have to remember this was the Ukraine of eight or nine years ago. Things are very different now. "At first he was totally angry. He couldn't believe it." In his eight-year professional career, Klitschko has been tested routinely for banned substances, including steroids, and has always been clean. Tests for steroids are normal in Germany, where he had the majority of his contests during his rise to the championship. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxingandmma/2389404/Boxing-Klitschko-admits-steroid-abuse.html
