    I hate to say but brain damage if he carries on fighting. This is ridiculous and should be stopped. The man is a legend and should stay a legend and enjoy being retired.

        It'd be great for his legacy. Valuev ain't nothin special, but Holy is shot to **** and a win for him in that fight would be huge.

            It'd be good for his legacy but honestly it'll just mean Valuev sucks.

                I just think anytime you win one of the three main titles at 46, thats something...

                I'd also have to give Evander credit for not giving up...even though I thought it was wrong that he fought on this long.

                    It means Valuev is the worst title holder since Bruno. (Who I regard as probably the worst).

                            It would be a great accomplishment, there's no doubt about that but I think a lot of people will attribute it to Valuev being that bad.

                                To me it would be impressive considering his age, that he was able to grab another title belt.
                                Yeah it would be great for him to pick up a belt at this stage. But, where would he go from there? Unless Holyfield shocks the world having found the fountain of youth; what legitimate heavyweight is out there that he can beat? Damn, I'd love to see the old Holyfield re-emerge. But, it's not going to happen, guys. He's made about a billion dollars, why is he doing this?

                                    John Ruiz is in that list, too.
