I'd say he can beat Oleg. I don't know about any of the other guys. Maybe Briggs.

not a snowballs chance in hell that he could beat either guy, he didnt deserve the decision over oquendo and oquendo is not a serious contender any longer

He's ranked by the WBO right now. Who's to say he couldn't beat the Briggs/Ibragimov winner? Those guys are nothing special, not head-and-shoulders better than Oquendo...

Agreed, I wouldn't favor Evander - but I would still say he has a shot...

He doesnt have A shot, much less a REAL SHOT.

Hollyfield IS Shot. Should move on, train, promote, do somethin in boxing that ISNT boxing.

If there were ever a time in history for him to have a shot - it could only be right now.

I agree. people just dont realize how shot holy is. I think makeav would beat him handily,,,the best shot holy would have is with briggs only becuz briggs stamina is so bad,,but even that chance is slim in my opinion
