    If Evander beats Wlad.....

    is it the best story in boxing history?

    This thread is not a debate of weather or not Holyfield could take Wlad, rather if he does take him is it the best story in boxing history??

    Very curious to hear what others think.

    Are we sure they'll be fighting?

      No not sure, but based on Wlad's comments and the fact that he has no chance of a unifacation bout in his near future, I'd be a bit surprised if it didn't happen.

        It would definitely be close to the best story of all time, but Wlad has shown so much vulnerability in the past that people would probably discredit the win immediately before warming up to and respecting it later. Maybe if Wlad unified some belts and then Holyfield beat him, it would be a lot more meaningful. This division is so bad that Holyfield winning another title will just prove what we already know. These heavyweights are the pits; the nadir of heavyweight history.

          Wlad would kill him, literally. Evander should not be fighting. The dude is too old. He's going to die in the ring.

            As I said I wasn't asking IF he could take him. But since you made this comment I must say, are you nuts?

            This is the real world, Wlad isn't Ivan f###ing Drago. He very well might take Holy but there will be no deaths in the ring drama queen.

              Kill? Jabbing can kill? I think Holyfield will give Wlad the fight of his ****ing life. He'll make Wlad do more than jab, jab and jab like he did against Brewster.

                Well Lance, if Wlad can't get a unification, then why not?
                Even if Wlad clobbers him, the fans still like to see Holyfield fight.

                    I think the fight could sell some. Better than any other heavyweight fights today. I doubt Wlad could beat Evander off of just a jab. I think Evander could test Wlad's chin.

                    Would this story be better than George Foreman's comeback? It might be close. Then again Wlad is way bigger than Michael Moorer who moved up.
