I hope the Holyfield fight happens. He's always been one of my favorite fighters. He's old now so he's a little slower than he used to be but he still uses excellent technique. It's really a joy to watch. He's still a worthy heavyweight IMO

Bad For Boxing
...and people wonder why fewer and fewer people watch boxing? Valuev has little boxing skill and relies on his size to win. Holyfield was great....but the guy is not just over the hill, he's gone down the other side of the the hill.
Giant out of shape, unskilled guy VS. someone who's far to old to be effective in the ring. Put Arreola in there with Valuev, at least he's a prospect. These old guys hurt the sport.Comment

anyone who has seen Holyfield knows he struggles with guys who use the jab consistently Bowe,Lewis etc
Valuev keeps him on the end of the stick in a boring fightComment
