    I say they just give Holyfield a shot and if he loses he can retire.

      I think it would be a close fight but Ibragimov is better IMO.

        At this point I would have to say Imbragimov wins that fight. I like Brock but Imbragimov seems to be more aggressive and has a better chin. But to be honest I have only seen each fighter a couple times.

        I think the Holyfield fight might be better for his pocketbook though.

          I think Brock is solid. He has a pretty good defense, keeps his hands up, has power in both hands. His chin is suspect though. He has been knocked down like four times I think.

            Yeah Brock is a good fighter and I think this fight would be entertaining and competitive. I have no idea who would win...

              I think this would be an even matchup. Some people underrate Brock because of his loss to Wlad, but he was actually doing okay in the first five rounds until he was weakened by a hard Wlad right. Both Brock and Ibragimov have KO power and have good speed - I think it could end in either a KO or decision for either. Calvin has an edge in athletic ability and boxing skills, while Sultan has a better chin and is a better tactician.

                i dont think anyone has mentioned this yet but yeah brock was on standby for this fight i bet my house he didnt want to be put in that position last night

                brock weighed in at a whopping 236 pounds on friday

                he was 224 against wlad and t. ibragimov, and 218 when he beat mccline

                at 236, sultan would have beat the **** out of him, as it was he was knocked down and won a farily close decision over a guy who has only 3 fights in the last 7 years.. all knockout losses

                thread closed. thanks for coming.
