    IMHO I say no. But business is business I guess. I think there were a few other RANKED fighters available.

    Hell no. He just came off a one-sided loss to Sultan. I like the guy and respect what he's done for the business, but I wish he'd hang 'em up already.

    You can only go so far on a name. Soon he'll get his head bashed in and if he continues to fight he will end up some guy's punching bag or fighting for PEANUTS. Hell he's already made a cashload!

    I don't think he deserved his last shot.

    Maybe not, but I expect he will actually fare better in this fight than he did against Sultan.

    No. Evander just does not know when to call it a day.

    The whole thing is more like a circus act.

    Parading out the 46 year old, TOTALLY SHOT legend to stand in there like a fool and get clubbed into submission by the lumbering giant.

    Not exactly the thrilla in manilla.

    OF COURSE he doesn't. Neither did George Foreman against Michael Moorer.

    But is it an intriguing fight, nonetheless. And, if he can catch lightening in a bottle like Foreman did, it's one for the ages.

    "They said I was too old when I was 34 and was getting ready to fight Mike Tyson for the first time," he argued.

    "There's nothing new with what people say. I have a desire and I am the one who got to train and I am willing to make the sacrifices necessary to be the best."

    Delusional Disorder..someone needs to diagnose this guy and get him some inpatient treatment.
