    What the hell, Holyfield retired in 2011 and Ruiz is only 29; when the hell would they have sparred? Please tell me Holyfield isn't still sparring with pros on a regular basis.

    They retired when Ruiz was 18 I think, that would be about 2008/2009

    Holyfield says he was 46 and Ruiz was 19, which sounds right.

    Here is their sparring form 2011. From the clip of it they show it looks like it was pretty routine, nothing hard with them going at it or anything.
