Holyfield eyes unification

 LAS VEGAS (AP) -- There's only one boxer and one goal left for Evander Holyfield to conquer.
 After pummeling Michael Moorer for eight rounds Saturday night, Holyfield bolstered his warrior image while setting the stage for a heavyweight unification fight with Lennox Lewis.
 "It's the only thing driving me in boxing now," Holyfield said of a possible match with Lennox after adding the IBF title to the WBA championship he won from Mike Tyson.
 "They say, 'Why are you still her, you have nothing to prove.' But I do want it. I've fought every fighter in my era. Lennox Lewis is the only fighter I haven't fought. I look forward to a fight with Lennox Lewis."
 Lewis had a ringside seat to witness Holyfield knock Moorer down five times before the fight was finally stopped with Moorer sitting on his stool in the corner ater barely surviving the eighth round.
 Afterward, an unimpressed Lewis called Holyfield's performance "mediocre" while taking a swing at the entire heavyweight division.
 "They're not ready for me yet, none of them," Lewis said. "... I'm the best heavyweight in the world. Evander Holyfield might want to say he is, but he hasn't fought Lennox Lewis so how can he say that? Finally, I will get my opportunity to prove to everyone what I have been saying for so long."
 In the most action-packed heavyweight title fight in years, the impeccably conditioned Holyfield put on a masterful performance that ranks among his best against a fighter who wouldn't stay down.
 He also placed himself in line for the one fight he wants before calling it quits in a career that has earned him some $170 million.
 Although he avenged his April 1994 loss to Moorer, Holyfield was nothing but complimentary to his opponent.
 "I take my hat off to Michael Moore. A lot of people didn't think this fight would be interesting. A champion shows who he is by what he does. I hit him with a lot of good shots. He got back up and fought even harder. He showed he has heart. He showed the game of boxing is a great sport."
 Many in the announced crowd of 13,200 Saturday night couldn't agree more. The crowd roared as the two boxers stood in toe-to-toe exchanges, and roared again as Holyfield hit oorer with hard shots that dropped him to the canvas.
 Moorer had actually looked to be the stronger and sharper fighter early, winning the first two rounds. He rocked Holyfield late in the first round.
 "He hit me with a right hook one time and it kind of staggered me in the corner," Holyfield said. "But you can't knock a fighter out with one shot."
 Moorer was dropped to his knees in the fifth round, and went down twice in the seventh and eighth.
 The final knockdown sent Moorer sprawling on his back under the ropes near his corner. Still, he got back up as the bell sounded to end the round and even argued with the ring doctor when he told referee Mitch Halpern to stop the fight between rounds.
 "The doc stopped it. I could have continued, said Moorer, who then hinted at a rematch.
 "It's one and one, let's go for three."
 There could also be a possibility of a third Holyfield-Tyson match, if Tyson gets his license back in July. It would be a major attraction in the wake of Tyson's disqualification for biting both of Holyfield's ears last June 28.
