Evander should keep fighting on. He can't retire now.

Evander had a great, overachieving career. Anything he does now in pursuit of the insane idea of being unified champion again hurts his legacy. And there are different degrees of neurological damage. Tommy Hearns slurs his speech but seems to be able to enjoy life. I don't want to see Evander ending up in worse shape than that.

 

I think he should keep fighting the C-B level guys until the Klits retire and then go for one of their vacant belts. He deserves another title, if not just for his persistance. He should really be champ right now. How they robbed the man against Valuev was an absolute disgrace. He was robbed against Ruiz in the rubber match as well. If justice had been served in any of those fights he probably would've retired having won another belt

 

:twisted:

 

Nope, he would've fought one of the Klitschkos and got his head beat in.
If Evander was happy just to grab one belt, any belt, and call it a day I wouldn't mind it so much.

But he wants to be undisputed, he's said so many times in recent years and he won't just go with one.

Holyfield should retire, that's always been my stance and I'm sticking to it.

 

Unfortunately, he is not fighting for a 5th title like he claims, he is fighting for money. Even if he'd been given the verdict over Valuev he'd still be here today fighting. Such a shame that a lot of these great fighters can't manage their money.

 

he still knocking people out
another 40+ years old fat guy

 

One must be so arrogant to claim such radical a nonsense :fire

 

It's like those guys that are old and keep working...just to keep the machine going...to keep the bearings oiled and engine running..batteries in check.

some people fear retirement... they see it as an end.

My father retired from the F.D.N.Y some years back... he still does roofing and still builds on his house. He even put up a hammock one time...that i knew he would never lay down on.

Some people have that drive to keep doing great things for their own self... while everyone is saying..."relax...take a seat"

 

Lets give Holyfield one last chance at glory. Give him one last title shot against a major beltholder with a disclaimer saying you lose, you must retire.
