    Holyfield would knock out Wlad if he lands on him. So IF Wlad upsets Byrd, Holyfield would have a shot at winning a title. He could beat Valuev, so that'd be two titles. No I don't think he'd beat Valuev but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

    Holyfield should retire but won't. Give him time, he'll get the message before it is too late, probably.

        Well, i think its got to the point where Evander's performances are so bad the level of the opponent doesn't matter.
        As long as there is a comission willing to allow him to fight, then Evander will fight. And his interest is fighting the best available challengers as he wants the titles back so i don't think there is any chance of Evander fighting older or lesser opponents.

          It is an interview of Evander Holyfield complaining that the reason he hasn't fought of late is because Don King is telling him t retire and won't sanction a fight for him!

          Even money hungry Don King won`t throw Evander to the loins.
          Evander will be able to break contract and find another promoter who will match him on his name value to a credible opponent.
          Evander says the comeback is about to begin.The Undisputed title is in his grasp!
          Who feels this is a sad story and who feels Evander has a shot?
          Lets put it this way, no offense to Tyson, but Tyson would beat up on Holyfield if they fought again!

            I understand the logic but Tyson's weakness when it came to Holyfield was Evander's emense heart. Tyson couldn't out heart him and this resulted in Tyson biting the ear.
            I'm sure if they fought Tyson would have a better chance of winning but some fighters just own other fighters and Evander owns Tyson. Also, if a fighter like Kevin McBride can break Tyson's wil and force him to quit, even a shot Evander should be able to do the same!

              Agreed. If don king won't give him a fight, then he should know that he's seriously done. When Donald knocked him around last November, it was apparent to everybody that he was finished. He was unbelievable, but he should get out now before he hurts himself seriously.

                What makes you think that?
                Evander was never known as a puncher...

                  ....I love Evander but I have not been able to even watch him fight or even had the desire to in the last several years. To me, he isn't even the same person. I try to separate "this" Evander from the one I knew and loved who knocked Tyson's **** into the dirt twice.
