    Holyfield Going for Fifth Title

    How many people think Holyfield will be successful this October when he fights Ibragimov for the WBO heavyweight title in Moscow for his 5th world title? I just don't know if Holyfield has knockout power anymore, and it will be difficult to get a decision on a foreign ground.

    I would WANT him to win but i honestly think hes gonna get destroyed.. and im not sure what he has done so far to deserve a title shot. i could think of a few other people that deserve it right now.

      Contrary to the general consensus here(that Holyfield will be outclassed), I think that this will be a long tough fight for both fighters and wouldn't be surprised if Holyfield pulled an upset. However having said that, I think if Ibragimov sticks to his game plan and does what he has to do to win rounds, he should easily get the UD....

        Wow did you forget who Holyfield is? I could easily see him cruising to a UD or even a TKO against the crappy Ibragimov. Come on he ****ing drew against RAY AUSTIN.

          Holyfield WAS great, he is too old and washed up now, he lost 3 of his last 7 fights. is that all you have to back up your claim? A draw with another fighter? Holyfield almost lost to Fres Oquendo

            The fights he lost was because he had a lot of shoulder problems. IMO he would of won all of those fights if he was at 100%. Now that he is rested and all healed up there is no reason why he cant beat any of the champs or put up a strong fight against them.
