    Remember when Evander Holyfield got robbed against Giant Nikolay Valuev

    I had Evander winning that fight, it should have been his huge comeback victory to regain the world heavyweight title, they robbed him, they had the scores really close to make it look like it wasn't a robbery, but I had Evander winning that fight that 7 foot 2 giant didn't do much of anything.

    Holyfield was a true balls brave warrior.

      That fight was a joke. Far too little was thrown by either guy to complain either way. I'd never seen someone dance in a circle for whole rounds, not throwing any punches. Shame on Holyfield.

        Yeah it wasnt the most exciting, but Evander did a lot more than the Giant, the Giant had the size but fought cautious, Evander fought smart of course he is the smaller man, the giant must impose his will on the smaller man. Valuev is garbage anyway.

          Yeah, evander clearly won...

          But I'm kinda glad he got screwed because if he had gotten a title, he would have tried to unify with wlad and taken a serious beating

              Goes to show what a farcical, overhyped joke Haye is/was.

                Yeah, sadly evander didnt have any fear, vitali would have startched him, i think vitali was clamoring for that fight if evander won, he thought it would bring lennox lewis out of retirement if he beat evander better than lennox did

                  Yup, Evander should have won that one.

                    Holyfield beat him much more convincingly than Gaye did.
