    Well, I cant see any commission giving him a licence to fight anymore,outside of some freak jurisdiction.

    Hes 50,and has been in WARS!

    Sure hope so, he's done for years now.
    The "Tank" Williams fight was nothing short of sad, and that's already a while ago.

    He is done, he is a mumbling and slurring mess.

    Scary to think where he will be in 5-10 years...

    He's repeatedly said he'll only retire when God tells him to, hopefully that happens soon

    In other words, when he took so many punches he starts to hear voices in his head :patsch

    But God told Holyfield that he would become the undisputed and unified heavyweight boxing champion (and that he should also spread his seed amongst the women of the world)

    Damn, where is Jimmy Young when you need him? He beat God into George Foreman, surely he could do it for Holyfield too? :D
