    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

    He'll end up dead broke within a year.

    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.
