Anyone remember 45-year-old George Foreman and his dramatic knockout of 26-year-old champion Michael Moorer to regain the heavyweight title he lost in 1974?

Can Holyfield become the second oldest heavyweight champion?

Sounds like a yawner:sleepy:
Heavyweight fight fans are suffering from a severe lack of talented pugilists!!!

Gimme Mike Tyson, and Larry Holmes. Maybe Mike could fight Mitch "Blood" Green on the same night, in the parking lot!!!

If Holyfield wins, he can quickly become a factor in the heavyweight division again. Far as I know, the other two champions are Oleg Maskaev (WBC) and Ruslan Chagaev (WBA). Wladimir Klitschko is the holder of the IBF belt.

Maskaev takes on #1 contender Samuel Peter with the winner fighting "emeritus champion" Vitali Klitschko.

If Holyfield gets past champion Sultan Ibragimov, look for him to go after Chagaev. But getting past Maskaev, Peter, or the Klitschko brothers will be difficult.
