Botha vs Holyfield for shot at Vitali?

[anubismcdeath]

Holyfield has certainly done more than beat up a shop worn Montey Barret to deserve a title shot. Guy has a head like concrete and uses it in his 3 limbed attack. If he beats Botha he has done more than Haye has. Still James Toney beat Holyfield up badly that one time and he's been looking fitter as of late, maybe he needs to beat up a Maskaev or something and get a crack at the klits.

Imagine if Holyfield managed to beat Vitali.

Maskaev is fighting Ray Austin and the winner will be named the mandatory.

WOW! Ray Austin and Oleg Maskaev. Finally a HW fight worth watching.

If Holyfield "earns" a shot, good for him I say.

I still think Holyfield shouldn't fight Klitschko. Even if he performs no worse as the other guys did, he's at an age where this beating could actually mean something. Ali retired younger - and looked way better than Holyfield in the fights that brought the brain damage.

A beating for a young Chagaev is nothing, but the same beating may be bad for Holyfield, we never know..

I'd rather see Solis in one of these eliminators... at least get a new face in there. I can't imagine this even happening, though. Holyfield vs Botha... sheesh

Imagine pigs could fly. The likeness of either happening is about the same.

Agreed.

He pretty much beat Valuev and he gave Ibragimov a little trouble. I have no doubts that Vitali would stop him, but it's not as if Holyfield has been a dead man boxing the past 5 years.

It is called suicide by cops some 80 year old guy that lived a few houses down from me did it. His wife called the cops cause he went nuts and he told the cops to shoot him obviously they wouldn't so he ran at them with a knife. I can let your imagination do the rest.
