Holyfield should fight on. All this retiring BS is BS.

Someone needs to start some sort of fund for boxers like Holyfield, old and broke. The man has had a long career and more punishment is not necessary. Holyfield is a grown man though and should do what he pleases.

 

The problem is, he's getting to that stage where he's being to end up Bowe-style punch-drunk if he's not careful. He's taken a lot of punishment as it is and now he's still shipping punches in his late 40's. And if he fights Wlad or Haye and takes a sustained beating, I'd worry about his long-term health.

 

the fact that he can hang with 90% of the garbage out there says it all. hes 47.....he would have retired a long time ago if someone gave him a reason.... but the fact he got schooled by a guy like ibragimov who he would have put into the emergency room in his prime and lost to larry ****n donald and knocked out by toney.....it is time for him to go...unless he wnts to beat up the vinnie maddalones, lou savareeses, bothas, jeremy bates for chump change.... hes had 11 fights in 9 years.....i dont much see the point

 

Actually I agree. Who are we to say he has to stop fighting. I mean, he's already slurring his words so who'd notice a little bit more brain damage?

 

normally i dont say what someone should do with their life....but this dude is almost 50....

the people that cry for jermain taylor to retire and the ones off base

 

He's not even slurring his words, and he is very sharp in almost every interview i see him in.

Out of all sports, and i never really give boxers credit for being in condition.

Evander Holyfield has to be the most highly conditioned Athlete of all-time in my opinion.

He's a old school small heavyweight, fought the best Cruiserweights in the 80's, fought the best heavyweights of the 90's, and has survived in the SuperHeavyweight era..........he's 48 years old now...? and is still here, a shadow of his former self, but still a great technical boxer and man/athlete.

What a man...

 

You mean like a Savings Account?

 

I think he should just retire and be done with boxing.

 

yeah.....i mean...the 150 million holyfield only lasts so long ya know

 

Holyfield, keeps himself in shape and loves to box. I thought he should be a titlist as well, he did beat N. Valuev. Holyfield, is still in right body and mind and f he wants to should fight.

 

foolish post, who is he hanging with today? did he beat the Klitschkos, Chagaev, Povetkin, Haye, Boytsov, just a really stupid post................

 

i agree...and he is in no danger of getting brain damage from any of this heavyweight garbage....except wlad....and all that means is wlad is capable of it and the others holyfield aint got to worry about nothing....but its his life and if he is still winning...:thumbsup

 

no one has knocked a 48 year old man on his ass and made him quit....

this big giant people talk about thats 7 foot tall....he didnt do ****.

read bewteen the lines of the post dumbass...... because he is not winning his biggest fights, doesnt mean hes taking an ass kicking....

i never said he should fight a klitshcko.....a chagaev? who the **** is he? a wba former belt holder or made a defense? a guy holyfield would have brutalized in his prime? STFU ....... HAyes a coward and i say, who the **** is boytsov?? who has he beaten?? the guy has 27 fights and he last fought a guy kevin mcbride beat up 6 years ago.....holyfield had 9 world championship fights fights by then..... and unified the cruiserweight division belt by belt and won the undisputed heavyweight title by then....

and youre gonna bring of boytsov? :rofl youre an idiot :good
