"Real Deal" Holyfield going for title again

[angryoldman]

This man was my idol growing up. The man was amazing. Now, they are building him up by letting him fight journeymen and low end fighters. I hate to see my boy go down like this at 44 years old. I hate to say it, but Sultan Ibragimov may put a severe hurting on him. And their fighting in Russia. I hope Mama Holyfield is close by to run and start beating that Russian with her purse if anything goes bad.

Noone has a meaner head butt than Holyfield.

Seriously though, who is this Russian?

He was actually a nobody until he beat Shannon Briggs, who suffers from Asthma! He's a fast puncher, but not much experience. Not really an exciting boxer to watch. However, fast enough and strong enough to lay out a 44 year old ex idol.

Even if a person is not a boxing fan, everyone knows who Don King is. The man is all about making money. Generally, 99% of Boxers leave Don King for unfair practices. Don King VERY RARELY fires a boxer from his stable. After Evander came out of retirement, King fired him because Holyfield took 3 horrible beatings. King figured, he's done, he's washed up, he's no use to me. So then, they started putting Holyfield up against guys my 2 year old son could outpoint. So here he stands, 44 years old, waaaaaay past his prime, but he's thinking he has a shot because they built him up, like they do with so many heavyweights starting out. Problem is, he's not starting out, he's ending it. And IF by chance he wins the title, every legit heavyweight will be gunning for him. First legit fighter that comes along, like Chris Byrd, Lamon Brewster, James Toney, Jon Ruiz, or any other top 10, will annhialate him. It's to the point, I don't want to see my boy hood idol win the title, because he's going to get slaughtered later.
