    You don´t hear anything from him anymore. Has Holyfield retiered? He wanted to leave the game on top, so why doesn´t he say weather to go on or quit? Please help, you guys in the USA should know more about him then we here in Germany :good

    He fought Valuev December of last year, and it doesn't seem that he has anything scheduled. I don't believe that he's officially retired though.

    As far as I know, Holyfield has not retired. I think he is still going to fight. I read somewhere that he's having financial problems and he needs money fights to help him get out of the situations he's in.

    He was worth about $200 million at his peak but is now having financial troubles. He is not retired yet, there is talk of him and Hasim Rahman having one last farewell fight in a rematch.

    Last year, his estate was auctioned off because of foreclosure. He was also sued for non payment of child support. A landscaping business is suing him for non payment. Yes, he is indeed having financial problems. What he did w/ all the money he made in the past is unknown to me.

    Ex-wives took him to the cleaners, thats where a lot of the money went. He had a bunch of kids and I'm sure child support was a *****.

    He can't fight too frequently; he needs time to cycle off the juice.
