Comments Thread For: Klitschko Tells Holyfield: I Won't Fight You For Any Amount

[richardt]

Good - Holyfield slurs enough....does not need any big head punches to leave him in a crumbled heap and carried out of the ring with the help of his cornermen.

Kind man

Very kind of Vitali to leave your idol alive.

Most people would schedule this bout in between rounds 1 and 2 of the Charr fight. One minute would be enough time to sort this one out.

Hoya is Paqciao's idol. Paq fought him. Retire your idol Klitschko.

If Vitali took the fight, he could become the idol for millions of head butt victims.

I, for one, respect this GREATLY. So many people will do anything for money. I give Vitali nothing but credit for this stance. Evander will get hurt, and I do not want to see that.

Exactly the same.
Class act from great man.

And maybe Holyfield is Vitali's idol, but maybe he's not Wladamir's; check with him! Listen, Ali beat up on Liston & Patterson. Larry Holmes beat up on Ali, his idol. Mike Tuson beat up on Larry Holmes, and Tyson took his lumps later. This is the hurting game. Vitali is a class act, but if they throw you $20m, take the money, knock out Evander in three, then take Holyfield to dinner; help him pay off his debt, and help your idol get financially stable again.

That is an interesting take on it. Give him the payday maybe carry him a bit. We all know vitali is just saying the politically correct thing and won't fight him because he's to old . Is Holyfield even ranked in the top 10? If he is that's pretty sad for today's heavyweights.

I'm not sure Vitali would even be helping him out that much really by taking the fight. I get the impression Vander is just **** with money and would just blow it again regardless.

30 years since he won that olympic medal. 30 freakin' years and he's still tryingt to fight.

this aspect of boxing will never cease to sadden me.

50 years old Holyfield would have no problem going the distance with Vitali

Wlad is something different

[RichCCFC]

This is more Ali-Holmes than Tyson-Holmes
