Does "It Happen" To Teddy Atlas Again For The Second Time?!

[texasboi15]

Will history repeat itself on Teddy?

Does Holyfield break Bernard's record as the oldest man to win a title, once again at the expense of Atlas just as Foreman did 17 years ago?

Teddy is still haunted by that lost and the scenario is eerily similar to 1994.

Does lightning strike Atlas twice?

Does "it happen" to him again?

[texasboi15]

holyfield gets it done.

rises to the occasion.

breaks hopkin's record and teddy's heart

rides off into the sunset.

then comes back...

Holyfield wont break Hopkins' record cos Povetkin is not a champion

True. To be a Champ, you BEAT a Champ! Pascal was a legit champion when Hopkins beat him, Povetkin was given the belt because Haye's old title was elevated to 'Super' Champion status that Wlad now has, therefore making the regular bel 'VACANT'. Therefore, Povetkin is NOT A CHAMP! (But he is because all the governing bodies are corrupt).

Indeed Dirk.

But wouldn't you agree at this point for Holyfield, lifting the belt off paper champion Povetkin, at the age of 48, is still a remarkable feat.

I can't think of, REALISTICALLY, a better way for Holyfield to go out on.

It's a fitting way, suitable for the old warrior, to cap off a great career and also gives testiment to how great this man was in his prime.

And when history looks back on his career in black and white, they'll say, "well will you look at that, he went out winning a heavyweight title at the age of 48!"

so holyfield will just only have a belt then, hokay

[Heeb]

Holyfield won't win.

[RockyB]

I don't think so. But holy crap that would be both hilarious and fantastic if it did!

[HitBattousai]

No. As nice as it would be, Holyfield isn't a puncher like Foreman so that risk factor isn't there like it was with Foreman/Moorer and Holyfield is so old and shot now anyway that it is disgraceful that this is Povetkin's first defense of his paper title.
