    Its sad to see such a great fighter who doesn't realise its over. The only thing that will come out of this for Holyfield is the tainting of his great legacy.

    Holyfields health is the concern. Sure it hardly helps Holyfield's legacy, but much like Ali (with Holmes and Berbick) it may leave a bitter taste at the time, but as time goes on you start to remember the fighters brilliance as memory of his sad end fades.

    Wlad should just let Holy fight him then purposely quit on his stool...lol so Holy can be the champ one last time. But have a immediate rematch clause so he can get the title back with ease.

    SOMEONE NEEDS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

    If I was any of the other champs i'd be on the phone to Holyfield NOW trying to make a fight. Easy money and you would give him more reason to retire.

    Holyfield will end up like a ****** with this kind of thinking.
     
  7. The mans a ****ing warrior, but sadly that means he just doesn't know when to stop. Mind you, the version of Holy that turned up last night would crucify the one who fought Donald.

    If there was a over-40's heavyweight title, Holy would be undisputed.

    These are really the ONLY sorts of matches they should let him fight - other washed up world class fighters like himself.

    I've long favored the development of a "Seniors Tour" in boxing - something which could provide an outlet for these older fighters to compete, without exposing them to as much risk as if they faced younger fighters in their prime.

    Let Evander fight.He can still become the oldest man to win a heavyweight title.He hurt Ibragimov a couple of times in round 12 and if this fight would have been a 15-rounder he could have won it.

    Donald is 40, McCall is 42. So Holy wouldn't be undisputed.

    Well it's pretty much a given that the man will be brain dead in 10 yrs.

    We can keep saying this.

    But if he wants to fight, let him ****ing fight, he will be happy that way...
