Ok dont get me wrong I LOVE holyifield like u wouldnt believe. i can watch the 3 bowe matches all day everyday and never get tired but i've noticed everyone is makin a big deal over his win over lou but come on! everyone and there momma knows lou saverese aint shit. he never beat a top 10 guy, and was comin off a huge layoff. if u saw the fight u will see that yes evander won ut if u know anything u will know that as soon as he steps up and fights a upper heavy hes going to lose. he gets beat to the punch too much and any heavy with skillz is going to hurt him. i for one wish he would have just retired after the toney fight

They're already playing the fight on ESPN Classic. Sorry to everyone who spent the money on the PPV.

Don't be.....it was a really entertaining card.:deal
His management team says he's ready for a title shot!....well of course after
beating an inactive 40 something Saverse, what more more should a guy do to deserve a title shot? He will continue fighting tomato cans and not risk losing to a ranked fighter before he get's his "undeserved title shot" which I hope he doesn't get unless he beats some one of note.

I want to know if he gets his shot at one of the champions, and loses, if he'll just retire this time around.
Hand picking all these mail men and beating them up doesn't make him a contender as far as i'm concerned.

Holyfield would beat Maskaev .........he is still a pretty good contender...

I think it would be scary to see him fight any of the Big 3 title holders. I heard rumors of him fighting Sultan for the WBO, but I'd also heard Holy say he never held that title and didn't want to pursue it.

If he is able to in the future (I'm not a huge fan of the Big O but I consider him to have more then Holy at this point) beat Maskaev, I'll run out and buy Evander Holyfield Career fight set.

Strange thing but Holyfield just might be the best American heavy weight outhere......:think

Holyfield claimed that his nagging injuries limited his ability to fight properly and his recent demolition of Savarese and Bates looked good so maybe he wasn't kidding. Still, I think he should have to fight a top 10 guy & win impressively before anyone takes his comeback too seriously.

How about Holy vs. TOS or the winner of Krasniqi vs. Thompson?

Holyfield would get demolished by any of the current champs. It would not even be close. Remember his non-performance against Donald, who himself just go thumped by a 12 fight novice. Savarese was barely a name ten years ago.

Evander vs. Liakhovich maybe?

I'm totally on the Holyfield title express now. There is no reason why he should have 4 solid wins on this comeback trail, but he's got 'em and he's obviously going to try to go all the way. Good on him I say and good luck... I'll be stoked if he gets a title and he's already out done my expectations in his recent performances...
Go Holy! He's a legend now and win or lose he will always be...

It is not who he was fighting, but how Holyfield looked. He was bouncing on his toes, showing very good reflexes and speed. I thought that Holyfield look extremely well and I have been very critical of him in the recent past.

A shot formerly elite boxer should be able to beat a shot former journeyman, it all evens out. It's not like Savarese isn't washed up himself

Maskaev and Liahovich are tomato cans as well. Holyfield is looking pretty good for an old man, and because the current crop of heavies is so piss poor he has a shot against any of them, inculding Klitschko.

Holy has a very good, very real shot at winning a HW belt for the 5th time (it's 5, right? Or is it 4?). The Holy Haters are scrambling. Awesome.

Amazing what taking HGH and testosterone did holyfield. He looked like garbage a few years ago that would be exhausted after a few rounds and had no speed left .
