Comments Thread For: Photos/Quotes: Holyfield Knocks Botha Silly in Las Vegas

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

Thats nice Evander but its time to move on bro!!!

[ChopperRead]

He still got it. It's amazing he's 47 and still in better shape than Tyson(no ****).

He's in better shape than Cris Arreola, Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson, Odlanier Solis, and a whole bunch of other heavyweight contenders. And he'd still probably put up a better fight against one of the Klitschkos than most of them have or would, too.

Basically all current American heavyweights should at least be looking up to Evander as a role model for work ethic. He is in better shape than any of them. If any other of these slobs deserves a title shot, then so does Evander. BTW, exactly how the hell old is Botha, he looks like a grandpa.

[Pirao]

I'll tell you, Evander would *still* put up a better fight than Eddie Chambers or Kevin *Queenpin* Johnson did against K-2. One thing for Evander, he's not a quitter. I'm an atheist, but if Evander does ever unify all the titles again, as he says he wants to do, I'll consider coverting to his version of Xianity. People laugh at him, but he's still got more going for him than most of the newer crop of American heavyweights.

No he wouldn't, Evander would get dominated and stopped against either Klitschko bro, it was nice that he beat Botha but let's not get crazy overrating him, remember what Ibragimov did to him.

Yeah, but when you look at the current crop of American heavies, Evander does still have more than most of them. He's never out of shape, for one thing, unlike Arreola, Johnson and Chambers. He also never just quits. I mean, if Evander fought Vitali, he'd at least try to get it done, unlike someone like the remarkably inept Kevin Johnson, one of the most embarrassing American heavyweights *ever.* Evander just highlights the laziness and lack of discipline amongst current US heavies. He's *still* better than almost all of them.

This. Indeed.

Ibragimov is a much smaller, quicker fighter. Older guys don't like those.

You have a disease in your brain or what? Do you read what he says? Or are you trying to put more wood into the fire? Quit it MOMMIES!

[The Underboss]

Tyson knocked Botha out with 1 punch, Botha is a joke but good win so far for Holy.

[Pirao]

Ibragimov is a much smaller, quicker fighter. Older guys don't like those.

Wlad is faster than Ibragimov and has much more power, Holyfield would get badly hurt, stop this nonsense that Holyfield should face one of the Klitschkos, do you want to see him with permanent brain damage?

Combined age of 88 managed to beat the carnival from last weekend.

Props to Holyfield I guess, kinda sad to see him still having to fight TBH. Dude was always the epitome of warrior in the ring and he looks to still be in great physical condition, but I hope he calls it quits after this.
