    I guess Savarese has got good name value but like JD, I’d rather him fight Platov but Lou’s good to. Doesn’t matter who he faces really, as long as he keeps active while showing progression in the ring.

    I've also here'd DaVarryl Williamson's name come up as a possible opponent.

        JD, if you have a chance to see a former world champion and living hw legend in Evander Holyfield, then you better take it. It's not often you get to see a warrior like Evander Holyfield in person. Spend the $ 60, you'll thank me later!

          BostonGuy, the cost would be over $650 with hotel, flight, etc. (it's like going from Boston to Detroit). I'd be better off spending a few hundred more and seeing a good fight such as Hatton/Castillo in Vegas. I've seen ATG's before (although not Holyfield) and I don't enjoy mismatchs. Holyfield is still tough but Savarese is an over-the-hill tomato can.

            I thought that you were closer to Calgary than that; yeah I probably wouldn't want to spend that much either.

                It should be a dominant victory for Holyfield if he wants to be taken seriously. They are going with the Foreman blueprint of fighting frequently against not great but solid opposition.

                  I didn't even know Savarese was still alive.

                  Lou should just continually flash his squiggly spider veins at Holy and make him quit out of disgust.

                    Holyfield takes away Lou's only natural advantage by having a head that is actually a bowling ball covered in skin.

                    Lou cant hurt Evan Fields.

                    Even this old, slow, tired edition of Evander chops and and destroys this lumbering turd of a boxer. I mean...he was a slow lumbering turd when he was in his PRIME!

                    Go watch kirk johnsons fat ass KO him and then tell me he has a chance against Evan.

                    Then again....ol Lou went the distance with Big George...but I think the fight with Tyson ruined him.

                      WoW in another thread I congratulated Holyfield on taking the road less travled and actually earning a title shot, instead of banking on his name value and sitting in a holding pattern until one was offered to him. Guess I spoke too soon.

                      Savarese is a step back from Maddalone. Oquendo >>> Maddalone >>> Savarese >>> Who's next... Tom Glesby?

                      Fear not Holyfield fans, one of the champs will give him chance no matter who he is fighting.
