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

[edgarg]

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.

They'd make laughing stocks of themselves if they fought a much smaller, so much older man then they are. Assuming that Holyfield is their "idol" which I doubt, ("idol" is a much thrown about and misused word these days) and assuming that they would like to see him in good circumstances, they could better make arrange that he'd have a lucrative, not too hard fight on their undercards. Which they ave never yet done. So I assum e that my beginning sentence is the true reason.

As far as I know, if they have a fighter they looked up to, it is Max Schmeling, who, they said, inspired them to succeed and surpass, in both victory and defeat.

just give Holyfield a tin beggars cup

Poor Holyfield is just so sad begging for a dollar at 50 years old. Evander is just a sad spectacle of a battered brain damaged pug who is without all his reasoning. just listen to Holy try and speak is sad enough. but with 11 kids to feed he has to fight on into his 60's probably. So sad.

At 50, Holyfield's 11 "Kids" should be parents by now and supporting a Grandpa aged man in Holyfield. Only a merciful K brother would allow him to go the distance, otherwise, he would get brutalized and stopped.

I doubt anyone would stump up $20 million for a 41 year old Vitali to fight a 50 year old Hoyfield in 2013. HBO/Showtime/Sky sports would want nothing to do with it.

i think Mayorga can fight Evander.

Glad to see someone who isn't all about the money, Vitali cares more about Evander's health than he does. Evander is acting like he deserves a shot and that he has a real chance, he would be more of an underdog than Buster was against Tyson.

I can respect Vits turning him down, it was the right thing to do. The sad part though is Evander would probably be more competitive than Charr will.

At least Douglas was a rated contender beating halfway decent fighters. Evander hasn't shown himself to be worthy in years now and at 50 could possibly get hurt. Good for Vitaly!
