I guess Holyfield-Jirov is sort of interesting? I’m not sure what I think there.

In a car crash kind of way, sure

The one I’d want to see most is Holyfield-Rossy, just because I think Rossy could actually beat Holyfield. Either way, the spot for Holyfield is locked up. He will be fighting for a regional belt in Korea at the WBC (I think) convention in November. Those are the three opponents who have been greenlighted, and if Jirov wins his upcoming fight without getting hurt, I suspect he’ll be the opponent.
