    Just realized I haven't heard anything out of Commander Vander lately. Did he retire? Don't remember any announcement.

    Holy has got done by Ibragemov and SNV already. He should just give up ....
     
  3. I saw a recent interview with him where he said he is still an active fighter and that he is just looking for an opponent.
    I also read an article where Riddick Bowe said he wanted another Holyfield fight.

    He's going by the moniker Evan Fields and fighting at Crusierweight. So he can be licensed

    I watched a recent news report on Holyfield a couple weeks ago and he was saying that he feels good and asked the reporter why he shouldn't fight until he's 60. I'm serious about this also. It was sad to watch.
     
  10. Massive respect for the old warrior, he won't quit.

    His opponents have been appropriate, you wouldn't put him in there with a young Seth Mitchell but he can still beat ranked opponents and pass the commissions medical requirements. He isn't anywhere near his prime now but he's still putting up solid performances and not getting knocked out.

    I have said this time and time again there needs to be a senior division!

    It wouldl include fighters like Golota, Holyfield, The White Buffalo, Riddick Bowe, Oliver Mccall.

    He is probably not retired, but his career is not really moving.

    What are talking about? The only guy he fought that was ranked was Sherman Williams last year. And he was taking a beating for three rounds and quit.

    Botha and Nielson haven't been ranked in years.
