    What's funny is that Holyfield said in a prior interview that Vitali would be the easier fight because he opens up & that will give him more opportunities....while he may be right... only thing is it's NOT a good idea for him to be hit too often by Vitali & that's certainly what would happen. Vitali does NOT stall his offense like Wlad does these days.. he lets his punches go.. throws them from every conceivable angle with variations of power.. opponent doesn't know which angle he's throwing from & if it's going to be an arm punch or a power punch.. also the fact Vitali's not liable to panic if Holyfield does happen to get inside & his jaw can take it,, you never know
    Wlad would throw his right hand on occasion like he always does but Holyfield.. if he sees it coming will roll with it.. Yeah if he throws that left hook.. he'll put himself in danger & let's not forget even though he's old.. his jaw has NOT declined much at all.. he'd be willing to eat a few jabs & not panic so he can get inside. On Saturday HAYE CAUGHT Wlad at least 3 or 4 times with a right where wLAD was stunned & all he needed was a follow up & Klitschko would've been in danger.. only thing was after he connected he was way off balance & out of position to throw a followup as he was lunging all night long. Holyfield will have better positioning & will bew a little closer & therefore won't lounge... He still knows how to throw combinations if he has his man in trouble.. that's instinct.. that'll never go away... let's make it happen.

      Laugh all you want guys... it's going to happen once the brothers realize the ONLY fight anyone will pay to see is a fight... Klitschko vs A Klitschko against each other. Holyfield will generate money.. no doubt about it.. combine his name with Klitschko's name....

      throw in the 50 yr old angle & oldest champion in sports history.... perhaps it's Holyfield that will back up his claim of retiring with all the belts.. all he has to do now is the impossible & be the first man to beat both Klitschko's in succession... it's NOT like the brothers aren't getting old either.

      Wlad will be 36 & Vitali past 40..... The name of the game is money...that's the bottom line The Klitschko's & Holyfield are 3 of the top 15 heavyweights of alltime.... It'll be closure for Holyfield & he will be FORCED TO RETIRE if he loses & will retire in the next bout for the undisputed...
      Not a chance Holyfield will be cleared to fight either brother by any org. And if but some chance he was there wouldn't be a snowballs chance in hell of him winning. Im so confident of that that I will break my own neck and chew off my nuts if he does. That thought alone should have the Klit huggers chomping at the bit for a Holyfield fight and victory against their own man. At least they could say Wlad fought a HOFer.....right?

        Lol.. if he's cleared to fight.. they can't tell him who he can't fight & isn't that putting the Klitschko's on an even higher pedestal.. The licensing commision... yes Evander you're medically cleared to fight but are banned from fighting the brothers... Evander's response but the ONLY reason i'm here is to get those belts they have.. sorry Evander... we can't do it.. perhaps we'll let you fight the weaker brother as you'll at least have the proverbial puncher's chance.. negotiate a fight with the older brother behind our backs.. then we'll be responsible for the follow up manslaughter lawsuits after the bout.. can't do it Evander!

          Realistically the fight COULD happen. I just don't see Holy getting himself high enough in the rankings for it to be warranted and both brothers would be ridiculed beyond redemption for taking this fight if it were not forced. Any way you slice it they would be in a lose/lose situation. For all my criticism I think both Wlad and Vitaly are to smart for that.

            I see your point.. thing is.. The Brother's are already ridiculed beyond recognition.. more criticism is nothing new.. name of the game will always be money... the public outcry that they have no one to fight but each other will have reached fever pitch.. they don't have an alltime great name on there victory column... if Vitali can fight Briggs.. he can fight Holyfield.. if Wlad can fight Chisora he can fight Holyfield & it's NOT entirely lose/lose as they will make tons of money as the public will be curious like watching a reality show & or train wreck at the same time & they can always say they were the ones that derailed Holyfield's career once & for all. As for Holy's chances.. let's just say when a man knows it;s his absolute last chance for his goal.. he will give it his best shot.. i've already pictured him landing on Wladimir & Wlad starting to panic with flailing arms as the whole German crowd is stunned & in disbelief... as For COMPLETING the unification vs the bigger bro' it'll have to be by injury or cuts.. afterall still counts as a W..
