Sanders vs. Holyfield in October?

[jmastersherm1]

Talks are under way for a Sanders Holyfield bout in October. Maybe they'll make a new sanzabelt title. Anyway, who wins if this fight gets off?

[El Bombasto]

Probably Holyfield, but Sanders can still bang, so this would be a potentially dangerous fight for Commander Vander

[Shpion]

If Sanders shows up in shape which I doubt he will most likely Ko Holy otherwise, I go with Holy by a UD.

[brooklyn1550]

Holyfield UD or late TKO (dangerous fight right now if Sanders is in shape)

[lbarrow]

Well I have to steer towards Holyfield probably going down in one round but winning a split decision

[diamondDave]

Sanders tko3 Holyfield

Is living on borrowed time. If he thought Saverese rocked him with that upper cut, then he is going to be in for a rude awakening when Sanders starts dropping those southpaw bombs on him...Holyfield has always had trouble with left handers ie the first Moorer fight and the Byrd fight.

[lefthook31]

This fight will never happen. Holyfield will fight Klitschko next.

[Bummy Davis]

Sanders too fast and hits too hard, if he can get into decent shape, but this is a fight Evander will not take, WHY? should he

[Heavyrighthand]

Pitting these older comebackers together is a great thing, as it'll not only present good fights, but it'll also start to weed out some of the cluttered field of older fighters.

It looked like Holyfield was starting to really rise in competition level when he fought Oquendo, then he stepped down to fight Vinnie Maddelone, then up only slightly to fight Big Lou. Now, if this fight happens (I doubt it does, but) fighting Sanders is at least a pretty good step up from Big Lou.

I don't see this fight happening, though. But if it does, I look for Sanders to probably catch Holyfield and TKO him.

[Zakman]

Evander has been active, Sanders has not - and at their best, Holyfield was a whole different class of fighter. Holyfield wins, and probably quite a bit more easily than many people think, too.

[Ted Stickles]

This fight is not necessary for Holyfield at this point he should be trying for any title fight he can get. I think that his people want him to beat Sanders to make Klitschko look bad by saying Evander beat him you didnt so fight Evander.

[dragosuhail]

that's a possible marketing tactic for sure. i mean klitschko really wants to beat sanders im sure as it was the worst loss of his career.

if holyfield beats sanders and does so convincingly, then klitschko will turn his sights to evander as the holyfield hype machine will start clamouring about how he deserves a title fight since he beat the man who beat the man etc.

personally if this fight happens it'll either be a SD for evander but could go either way OR sanders catches holyfield in the first four rounds which i think is highly likely as he apparently still has some of his speed and power.

it'll be like vitali verses williams again if evander wins. vitali always wanted to fight tyson, but danny-boy ruined those plans and got destroyed by vitali. if holyfield destroys wladimir's dream of fighting sanders he'll do the same only it wont take 8 rounds. the moment wladimir warms up and feels at home, the bombs will fly and the 45 year old warrior will get ko'ed badly

[Sweden]

It would be fun to watch, and would leave the winner in a good position to negotiate a good payday for the next fight.

[Jaaames]

If Evander makes it out of round 4, he stops Sanders...

T-Rex?

The other one...

[Rudolph]

Sanders got nothing even on today's Holyfield

[DamonD]

Take out the Wladimir shocker, and who's the best win on Sanders' resume? Sprott? Puritty?

Holyfield is still capable enough of riding out the early attack from Sanders, and then he'd knock him out. But in all honesty I wonder why he would take on another senior citizen like this...

[1-Ton]

In shape Sanders? Remind me again when Sanders was ever in shape. Holyfield TKO 8.

[platnumpapi]

sanders can still hit, holy needs a title fight now cause he cant keep it up with the bum i dont think.after this fight he needs a title shot.but he better not go after either the klit brothers or sam peter.if those are the champs by the time he gets his shot.

[Rock0052]

This is a great match for both fighters, and probably for the fans and boxing too. If Sanders wins in an impressive manner he makes a Vlad rematch more attrative and saleable to the public. Vlad can then rematch with Sanders without receiving as much criticism, seeking his revenge and giving Sanders an opportunity tp prove the first time was no fluke. For Holifield an impressive win over Sanders, Vlad's one true conquerer, adds significant legitamacy to his quest for another title challenge. This win makes it possible for Vlad to accept his challenge, and makes it a fight easy to promote. Vlad should easily defeat both these guys, but Vlad has been stopped by low tier guys before, so some suspense and anticipation would be there.

Good post man :good

[Sakura]

This is bad matchup to Holyfield. I think his comeback will fade, because of this fight.

Sanders TKO..

[papaspank]

This is a waste of a thread! This fight is never going to happen!

[Bazooka]

I like Sanders in this fight, Holyfield as much as I love him he hasnt done well against South Paws unless the man was fat and out of shape, (MM rematch) I think Sanders speed and power will be the factor in this fight, Holyfield will get stopped here if this fight takes place, BUT, you never know, Sanders has been away from the mix for years while Holyfield has been active lately and has looked great, if the age of Sanders shows it will be Holyfields night if Evander boxes if he stands and trades he will get caught and it wont be pretty.
