    Beats me.

    I'm just keeping my fingers crossed those fights fell off aswell.

    Don't wanna see Evander get hurt.He's one of my all time favorite fighters.

    Man's 47 ****in years old.He shouldn't fight anymore.

    I lost respect for Holyfield years ago. It's all about money.

    Some of you saying all the stuff about third world countries like Uganda, you forget so soon, what about Ali's rumble in the jungle in Congo, and what about thrilla in Manila and how about Lewis Rahman in South Africa? Were those first world. I am sure you guys do not know how revenues are paid in boxing.

    Well if he could get a fight with someone incapable of hurting him, then it would be worth it to help his financial situation.

    Let the man pull out I would rather see him get paid if he is to continue fighting Holyfield has given this sport so much and has basicly done well for the sport in acting very sportsman like in times in which he had every right not to.

    At his current age going against Botha who isnt exactly a spring Chicken Botha is still a legit threat to Evander, so if he feels he deserves better money let him back out and try to get more he has given us all we could ask for as fans let him get back a little something.

    Another black eye for boxing? :lol:

    This is good news. Neither of those guys deserve a shot at the title nor is this fight taking either one anywhere in the division. If anything it could be dangerous for the winner of this fight's health to WIN and get a shot after it.

    Solis is avaliable on March 20 - maybe he can send Holyfield into retirement for a change.

    But honestly - I just he stops fighting - even though I had him beating Valuev.

    Yeah I see that angle but I would prefer him not to fight at all.I mean if you look at it the man has been fighting hard fought fights sicne the first Qawi fight almost non-stop.Incredible career.

    Personally I don't think Botha could of hurt him and I would have favored Holyfield over him by decision.
