    60 is just too old. Belfort is not a boxer but he's got speed and power and Evander doesn't need to be taking hard punches

    Holyfield is 58, not 60. 58 is old for boxing as is, so i'm not sure why the need for hyperbole.

    Funny how important how you look on the pads are all of the sudden when a young fighter dazzles on the pads everyone hates on it

    This is officially the era where I personally look better than Holyfield on the pads but would still get KTFO by him.

    Because every young fighter can look good on pads, if you look this slow and cumbersome on pads as a former pro, you shouldn't be boxing

    Hopefully Evander will rise up to the occasion and this thread will blow up in our faces.

    I hope he loses with dignity, otherwise he and others will be convinced he can make a real comeback only to get brutally KOd by someone vaguely legitimate.

    58 is 2 years away from 60, he's a goddamn near elder and he's about to do a professional boxing match.

    Any possibility that Holyfield is putting on an act to lure Belfort into a false sense of security? Perhaps he is holding back speed here. Just a thought, idk.

    Holyfield realizes this is a pretty good time to grab one of the WBA heavyweight belts and finally get that last reign he was looking for.

    On a related note, Holyfield should not be fighting.

    Your dad doesn’t have CTE. Holyfield might die if a good blow lands, this is a disaster.

    Nicholas Walters had one of the single worst media pad sessions I've ever seen then preceded to KTFO Donaire.
