So after all the protest from the Valuev camp along with Don king the holyfield fight would happen??? Wow

[The Hammer]

This fight degrades the sport of boxing. Nicolay Valuev is a disgrace for agreeing to it.

He didnt really have any choice, Remember he didnt want to be any part of this fight in the begining...

Yeah i knew that, Am not blaming him at all because i knew he didnt want to fight Holyfield in the first place.. but its still a bit disappointing.

holyfield will be a 4 time champion after he defeats the beast from the east...mark my words

[!!Captain]

This is horrible, Holyfield should not be fighting, he's way past it. A fight with Austin makes more sense now, this is beyond pathetic.

I'm sure Valuev could veto it if he wanted to. He has the final say - no one can force him to fight an unranked opponent if he chooses not to.
