    Nope, he has taken huge shots and stood, or been dropped and gotten up time and time again. THOSE are the people who end up with the worst career brain damage. Robinson and Ali being good examples.

    True. Its not because people dislike Holyfield when talking about retirement, its because how much people respect him and dont want to see him get badly hurt. He is a legend no question about it, but for the love of god just retire.

    :deal

    I would much rather see him pass on his boxing knowledge to a new generation of fighters than see him turn into a stuttering, forgetful, uncoordinated mess. The experience he has from decades of fights can be put to better use.

    I love all of the boxing Beyond the Glorys I recommend them all. Except Tyson's, I'm a big fan of his but didn't care much about his Beyond the Glory it was stupid to me. I'd rather watch his documentary "Tyson", it's much better IMO. Holy is who these current boxers should look up to he fought everyone and his resume is one of the best of recent times. He still has his huge heart but I want him retire with good health.

    It just didn't seem factual to me. It said he had to take many medications to avoid being crazy and all of that wacky stuff. I just wanted to hear a documentary from Tyson's perspective and I got that in "Tyson".

    Maybe he was? I heard about it before but I never heard him admit it. I found a source. I still don't like Tyson's Beyond the Glory lol.

    Holyfield sure gets a free pass for 15 years of cheating.
