        lol,,,I cant believe all this talk of holyfield being a champ again. hello? beating a jeremy bates and maddalone proves nothing. he's still yet to show me that he can beat let alone compete anymore with a top 10 heavyweight. you guys are setting yourself up for a big disappointment

          I dont think he would beat any of the champs except for maybe Makaev, who wont be a champ after the Vitali fight.

            he looks just as, if not more impressive than foreman did in his comeback years.

              In my opinion, Holyfied is too slow and cumbersome to beat any of the current champions..

              Valuev would batter him into defeat, like Bowe did, but worse. Holyfield is too small to do any damage to the champions....Maskaev is his best chance, but he would still get out lasted. I dont see him winning any...

              He should retire gracefully before he ends up like a vegetable....

              Plus he can`t juice himself up any more...i always wondered how a man who did no roadwork could box for 12 rounds...i dont think he can go the distance with anyone these days.

                Foreman ALWAYS had incredible power and the ability to pick his punches incredibly to hit the knock out blow against anyone who let their guard down. That is the only real reason he was able to win a title.

                Holyfield doesnt have that ability.

                  lol,,,wtf? how do you figure that? he barely got past fres oquendo who was knocked out in his last big fight to light hitting john ruiz and many people felt oquendo won that fight. the other 2 guys jeremy bates and maddalone have absolutely no ability and get spanked anytime they fight a semi live body. thanks for the comedy though

                    The bottom line is that the heavyweight division is so poor that people really want to see Evander do well, but in all honesty i think he should have called it a day years ago.

                      Foreman and Holyfield have nothing in common. There is no similarity to their comebacks. Holyfield is just a smaller than average heavyweight in a division that everyone perceives as weak. When Evander gets knocked the **** out by someone in the top ten don't say some of us didn't warn you. He has yet to prove this comeback of his is worth ****.
