Comments Thread For: Oliver McCall Decisions Fres Oquendo, Post-Fight Scuffle

[SluggerFan]

Ha, serves Oquendo right for all the **** he's been talking lately.

I agree too! He talked how he got robbed by everyone he lost to and now he's been beaten by two ancient fighters, Holyfield and now McCall. It really doesn't matter to me though, Oquendo's fighting style bored me to death so I don't mind if he goes away for good now...

If Holyfield beats Nielsen and then fights and beats McCall, I think he will have earned a shot at David Haye or either of the Klit bros. I mean if Shannon Briggs, Ray Austin, Audley Harrison, John Ruiz and Hasim Rahman qualify, then why not Holyfield? The funny thing is a couple of years ago Holyfield offered Wladimir $20 million to fight him and Emanuel Steward said no. I wonder if Holyfield has aged enough now to let Wladimir fight him?

Oliver McCall...what if.

[CaRnAgEViOLaToR]

I'd rather see Oliver and Holyfield go at it.

That would actually be an entertaining war...I'd watch it...

I got mccall in that one.

why anyone wants to see holy kill himself even more?

[SluggerFan]

I thought he deserved to lose to Holyfield for the way he fought. Even DiBella (Oquendo's promoter at the time) agreed with the decision and criticized Fres for basically fighting scared.

I totally agree with this statement! After Holyfield dropped him with the first punch he threw, Fres ran like a b*tch for the rest of the fight. I didn't see any of the other Fres fights you mentioned (he always bored me to death) however I believe Holyfield won this fight. And in reality, Fres has only himself to blame for the Tua fight as well. He had that fight in the bag and gave it away. The stoppage may have been premature but Tua was cracking him good. Fres always seemed like a guy who can't win the fight he needs to win to get a title shot....

Hey, if the guy is going to fight, then why not let the man fight. He has no other skills and needs money badly. Do I want him to fight, no I don't! But if he is gonna fight anyways, who I am to say he can't earn a living anymore. Holyfield is my favorite fighter of all time and I hate to see him get beat up but if he needs money, what else is he supposed to do?

he can go fight if he wants, i don't want to see it.

im not buying that it's the only way he can make money or that he has no other skills. i think holyfield could find other ways to make $, he's still has bigtime name recognition. tyson's still making money, not sure he has these supposed "skills" holy is lacking.

Yeah, it's so funny because it's a lie. A couple of years ago Holyfield was getting schooled by Ibragimov, and in no position to offer anyone 20 million dollars. So, why you making **** up?

[Pirao]

What's he been saying?

I gotta be honest, I didn't see McCall winning that fight last night. Oquendo is probably bitter after being burned so often.

That being said, it was a ****ty fight and a sad statement about heavyweight boxing in America right now.

He said before the fight that the Klitschkos have fought nothing but bums and that they had to face him after he had beat McCall

I am a huge fan of mccall but everyone knows he doesnt outbox anyone good but only knocks peoiple out. I believe a robbery could have been in place, promoters hometown, promoters fighter .., that probably why there was a brawl.
