Can Holyfield become champion again? And against who?

[Brockton Lip]

He obviously can, this is boxing, but what are the chances of him even earning a belt against one of the 4 heavyweights?
I have faith in him and believe he stands a decent chance, his best shot would be against Maskaev in my opinion. Valuev or even Briggs could perhaps be all pretty good shots for the Real Deal.

i do think holyfield can pull it off i think holyfields best chance is against valuev holyfield is faster and would be able to take valuevs shots so i could see holyfield out pointing him

briggs is his only shot becuase of the awful stamina. maskeav would wear him out as would valuev and wlad would chop him up into pieces and retire him for good. his only shot is briggs and that even less than 50/50

Right off the batt, you can rule out the IBF and WBC titles. Wlad is bent on unifying or avenging some of his previous loses and Maskeav is tied up with big brother Vitali and Samuel Peter.

I think realistically Holyfield would be able to beat Briggs or Ibragimov(if of course he beats Briggs).

Another likely scenario is that if Valuev beats his mandatory then Holyfield, I think, would get a title shot against him. But I don't think that he can win this fight.

He can beat Briggs but that's about it. Valuev would wear him down and stop him IMO.

lol,,,,he was worn out and stopped by toney. you dont think valuevs size and strength would wear holy out? holyfield cant fight 10-12 rounds anymore at a sustained pace in which his opponent is being agressive. vaulev stops him

[paul750]

Come on Kid, enough Briggs bashing, lol. Go and throw some more darts at the poster; relieve some of that stress, lol.

[CaLLaHaN]

IMO he can beat all of them except wlad

[Kball15]

i think he beats maskaev as well. Thats a GREAT matchup as well.

It would be GREAT for boxing if holyfield can do it again.

Just as popular as when Foreman got the heavyweight title back, if not more so

Let me throw this in the conversation. Brigg has a mandatory defense against a game Sultan Ibragimov; so we're all assuming that Briggs will win. Well what is Sultan wins? Does Holyfield beat Ibragimov?
