+"I thought I won it," Holyfield said. "My whole thing was it takes two people to fight a fight. I knocked him down early, but he didn't take a chance after that. I came to fight. He didn't."
-Oquendo down once in round one.
+But even with those dubious credentials of late, Holyfield's status as a former champion and a weak heavyweight division make him one of the biggest names still in the game. Post a few more wins and he could get that 2007 title shot he craves.

+Oquendo, a Puerto Rican who fights out of Chicago, is 26-4 with 16 KOs, and was a much stiffer test than Bates. Although he has never won a major title, he won his first 22 fights and lost a controversial decision to Chris Byrd in 2003.

+"I have a goal," Holyfield said. "And the point of reaching every goal, a lot of people have setbacks. The strong people who stay No. 1 the longest time, they have more setbacks than anybody. But they overcame the setbacks. They just didn't quit. This whole world would be successful if everybody stopped quitting." [http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2657478]
