    Minus the PEDs and the dirty tactics, he was a warrior

    Klits won't fight him and they shouldn't ... beating up a near senior citizen isn't cool

    Great. He has to realize by now that his financial obligations, as they are currently structured, will never be fulfilled. Now, he needs to face his future, which I'm sure will include a bankruptcy if for no other reason than to re-structure his child support obligations.

    Fighting a faded legend would not serve the Klitschkos in any way, nor has Holyfield earned his shot. This isn't "Rocky Balboa."

    I think this is just a publicity stunt to try to get a big fight. I don't think he's really done.

    To me he could walk away at any time and I would still have a great respect for him. Such a nice guy and a true warrior.

    He's beyond broke now. He's the "baby daddy" to several women who all want a big piece of the pie that's no longer there and he's spent his money like it was going to go on forever.

    As for him getting a job doing commentary, that ain't gonna happen either. He's just a bit more understandable than James Toney now and that doesn't go over well in broadcasting.

    And this isn't any publicity stunt to try to force a big fight. There are no more big fights in his future and it looks like he's finally realized it.

    I really like the guy and wish him well, but he is his own worst enemy when it came to finances and securing his future.
