Ibragimov-Chagaev Off, Ibragimov-Holyfield On!

Forget the alphabet gang, *********.com even has him in the top 15. Face it holmes, people who have watched him fight lately know he is top 15 material.

Well, for once I'll agree with BocRec's rankings. they have him #51. Actually, to be honest, I'd put him up higher than that, but not in the top 15. The last big win he had was over Rahman in 2002, and even that was a split decision.

Here is the problem, when Holyfield beat Oquendo, Fres was ranked in the top ten (at number 10) by one of the sanctioning bodies. Holyfield should at least land a top 15 ranking with that win.

I didn't see that one, but I see that the judge scores were very close. What was the story there? Did Oquendo get robbed? Oquendo ALWAYS gets robbed.

I saw Holyfield vs. Madalone. I've seen Madalone before and he was much much better than he appeared vs. Holyfield. i don't think he was even trying vs. Holyfield. Maybe he was stage struck or maybe he threw the fight.

Oquendo was knocked down and hurt in the first round. He was very sluggish in the fight. The fight was close because it was a slow paced boxing match, but Holyfield pulled it out.

I think Oquendo's never been the same after getting robbed vs. Byrd AND Ruiz.

Oquendo's got that in common with Andrew Golota. Both of them were robbed vs. Byrd and Ruiz.

Saw it when it first came out. I couldn't believe it, but i'm very happy for Holyfield that he'll atleast get a chance. He will feel rewarded by the Lord regardless. Hopefully. And then he will retire. But if Holyfield wins, and be called the 5 time HW champion, with a comeback more impressive than Foreman(People think Holyfield will be killed, this wasn't the case with Foreman) he'll be one hell of a legend. I wish him the best, and root for him win or lose.

Holyfield beat Oquendo who was ranked in the top 10 like BPP said.

So he is a at least in the top 15 and I think he'll beat Sultan.

Evander has done more for the sport of boxing than every other active heavyweight combined !

He has earnt this shot!

Having said that, i fear for Evander's health, i just hope he can put on a good display and not embarass himself.

What’s the deal with Chagaev? I heard he’s got Hep B; any truth to these rumors and what affect could this have on his boxing career?...

[dmaclv]

i think chagaev is seriously sick not ducking sultan, he should do a unification with wlad or the winner of sultan/holyfield which good money would say is sultan.
