I'm going to be the first to say this; Sultan has become the Floyd Mayweather of the hw divison. He's quick, he gets in and out with his punches, is in excellent condition but doesn't have that killer instinct to press the action and get the KO.... -
The Floyd nuthuggers should be huge fans of Sultan now, right. If not, then they are contradicting themselves.Originally posted by BostonGuy View Post
For the record, Sultan is still more entertaining than Floyd.Comment

He could've eaily won a slugfest with his faster hands. But a wide decision will be a given for him against a lot of bigger heavyweights.Comment

Well, that sucks. Really wish Holyfield had pulled it out but I can't say the result is a surprise. At least he didn't get KO'd like I predicted.
And he's still not retiring?

I think this is the last time we'll see Evander 'lace em up.'Comment
