    Is it just me, or is everyone else in the United States jumping on the Evander Holyfield bandwagon right now because he seems like the only U.S. fighter who is hungry for a title. Rahman is a joke and a disgrace to ever even hold the belt, and Brewster is still shakey and recovering from his detached retina and wont be back for another 8-12 months at least. I dont really care if he gets hurt, I mean I obviously dont want him to get hurt, but every boxer that steps into the ring assumes that liability. I never really liked holyfield but find myself enthralled in his comeback and hope he takes out all the title holders (or at least 1, as this is most realistic).
    when did james toney retire?? he gets overlooked and hes the best HW in the division. toney will unify the belts in the next 2 years and by then holy will be retired for the 14th time

        he won the rahman fight, i don't count shots that hit arms/shoulders/kidneys as points. rahman threw 300 more 'punches' if you can call them that and landed a whopping 6 more then toney. enough said. he's made 5 HWs including 3 champions at some point in there career look like straight up amateurs. but it doesnt matter, like i said, just watch

            Call me crazy but I got an image of Maskaev freezing in front of those Holyfield combinations. If Evander is being truthful about his shoulder problems being resposible for his last few losses then maybe he does have something left.

              i think Toney has proved he is not even a contender, he got his but whupped by Rahman who got his whupped by Maskeav. Toney is not a contender
