      Na, he can't, he has relatively no chance IMO. He's not gonna rack up points on Valuev, that's for sure, he won't be active enough, and forget about KOing Valuev.

        Since he's been off for awhile i think we'll see the best holyfield that we have seen in awhile. But i still think Valuev's size, weight and reach will give him the win

          Valuev is soo slow though and an easy target with his size. Holyfield could catch him ducking with an uppercut or left and goodnight gentle giant.

            not a prayer

            he cannot pull the trigger anymore and he gets tired too much and he has been showing these signs since the 1st Ruiz fight

              Believe me, Valuev would NOT get KO'd by Holyfield, Holy simply doesn't have the energy. Valuev has one of the best chins i've EVER seen, he rarely, rarely gets stunned or phased by punches.

                No, Holyfield will not be able to get past Valuev's tremendous size advantage. I predict it will be a snoozefest for the ages..

                  I think Holy has a shot because he's fighting a slow fighter...against most top ten fighters Holy can't keep up with younger dancing fighters...As long as he can weather the storm & go toe to toe he has a shot.This is a perfect match up for Holy at this stage in his career. I wish him the best of luck...Go Evander!!!

                    It's not happening.

                    Holyfield might be able to make Valuev look bad but he isn't winning this fight.

                    I originally thought Holyfield would have a small chance (a very small chance) in this fight because of how slow Valuev is but after thinking about it again, he's just too over the hill to pull it off at 46 and a year of inactivity (coming off a horrible performance against Ibragimov).

                    It will probably look like the Valuev-Lyakhovich fight.

                      A headbutt is his best chance at winning?

                      How the hell is he gona do that, the WBA sanctioning the wearing of moon boots with 12" heels now?
