    "Holyfield next?"

    "When the subject of Evander Holyfield came up, Klitschko said that he would consider facing the former four-time heavyweight champion, but would rather take on the winner of the October unification between WBA champ Rusland Chagaev and WBO titleholder Sultan Ibragimov. Recent reports still have Hasim Rahman as the frontrunner to fight Klitschko next, but Holyfield, who holds a win over Rahman, would make a lot more financial sense and could make for a more entertaining fight."

      This would no doubt be a big pay-per-view event and a big fiscal reward for both fighters. My first reaction would be Wlad's too young/strong/big and Holyfield would get dominated. But Holyfield is strange in that you can never count the guy out. Most people picked Tyson to literally kill him and look how that turned out. Holyfield has got to be one of the most resilient and hardest working guys in sports. I seriously don't think he could beat a prime Wlad at this point in his career, but I think it might be a closer fight than one would autmatically assume.

        There are some well written posts in this thread, and this is one of the best.
        Holyfield has surprised a lot of us in the past. The odds are against him, but IF HE DOES WIN, what a story for the ages. He seems to want it bad.

          Well...

          To be fair..the Holyfield that lost to Toney would get beaten to death.

          The Holyfield that beat Savarese....would just get beaten....

          UNLESS....

          He lands that left hook he landed on LouieSav....

          If he throws it under Klits straight right...and WK didnt see it coming...


          Oh Children....all bets are off then my friends....

              Honestly, if I were Wlad, I'd be reeeaally leary of taking this fight. Not for the chance of being beaten certainly, but rather for the chance that he could very well hurt Evander quite seriously. Evander is a legend and no one wants to see him get hurt. And if I were Wlad I'd actually consider not taking this fight for that reason. You wouldn't want to be known as the man who hurt (or worse) Evander Holyfield, the Humble Warrior.

                That would be the coolest thing ever, but let's hope to God this match doesn't happen, for the sake of Holyfield he's one of my favorites..

                  If he somehow beat Wlad and after everything else he accomplished in his career I would put him in the top five and I don't see how anyone could leave him out of their top ten.

                  However, baring a miracle there is absolute no way Holyfield could beat Wlad. In fact, and I don't mean this as a joke because I don't think things like this are funny, I would legitimately be worried that Wlad might seriously hurt him.

                    Hahaha, amen to that! I was thinking the same thing myself. That Left hook he laid on Lou was DEVASTATING!!! I still have no idea how Saverese got up from that. One thing I can tell you, Wlady boy aint getting up if he meets that same left hook!

                      I can't believe you people would want to see Evander dead.
