Larry Holmes said in the interview that he wanted to fight Golota. Or was that Butterbean?

No, it was Butterbean - the one with cojones.

Klitschko tired of waiting for Lewis
Nov. 17, 2000, Reuters

BERLIN, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Former Olympic boxing champion Vladimir Klitschko of Ukraine, named as a likely challenger for Lennox Lewis, has said he is tired of waiting for a chance to fight the big names in the heavyweight division.

"I don't know if I will fight Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis or Evander Holyfield but my dream is to send all three into retirement," Klitschko told Berlin daily BZ in an interview released ahead of publication on Saturday.

Klitschko, a WBO champion who is based in Germany, won gold in the super heavyweight division at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Lewis's trainer Emmanuel Steward has mentioned Klitschko as a possible opponent for his boxer, who holds the IBF and WBC belts.

"I don't care who it will be but I'm afraid I might never see one of the big three before my fists," Klitschko said. "They are all really old."
