Valuev doesn't want to fight Holyfield

[The Hammer]

Excuse my ignorance but who is Mollo????????????????????

Mike Mollo was a decent but smaller American heavyweight prospect who made the mistake of signing with Don King, who didn't keep him active enough to continue to improve. Mollo is exciting to watch, always going for the early KO.

He fights former Valuev opponent Jameel McCline this coming Friday.

Some guy who KO'ed Kevin McBride and ended up being on the chief undercard w/ Andrew Golota on the Roy Jones Jr.-Tito Trinidad undercard.

Thanks guys. Sounds like Golota had a decent win then.

Good news that Holyfield seems out of the picture, but its pretty bad that Golota enters. What has he done to deserve yet another shot?

Holyfield is still in the picture, in fact Valuev will fight Holyfield if Golota is not available.

Don King and Valuev himself prefer Golota, Sauerland wants Holyfield.

It depends on 1) Golota winning on Friday 2) Golota agreeing to fight Valuev with six weeks to prepare 3) Sauerland agreeing to Golota as the opponent.

Yeah I got that. I just thought that Golota was only marginally better than Holyfield so that in essense both fights were awful. However you guys educated me on Golota's latest acheivements so he doesn't seem so bad.

I still think it's a disgrace if Holyfield is allowed to fight.

Out of the two, I'd rather see Holyfield get another title shot. Atleast it'd be something if he won. I haven't cared for Golota becoming something for many years.

He beat the former undisputed latino HW champion Mike Mollo.

Mollo is Latino?.

Mollo is Latino?.

No, yet he still ended up becoming the undisputed Latino HW champion. Go figure.

It's definitely a disgrace if Holyfield is the opponent.

If Golota is the opponent, it's still not the best choice they could make. But, with Golota's win over McBride (who stopped past-prime Tyson) last fall and Mollo this year (and if he defeats Austin as well) it's not really a disgrace.

Didn't just beat Mollo was a pretty good showing I thought.
