    Hardly. I'm just sick to death of all these whiny boxing fans complaining. Old fighters getting back in the ring, fighting exhibitions, even wrestling, has been part of the sport forever.

    And if they want to do it, it's their business. Fans have the choice, as I said, not to watch if they don't like it, but frankly I wish they'd stop whining about it!

    While watching Holyfield, I found myself taken back to my younger days. Watching the Twilight zone. Strangely enough, I started screaming Ya got to believe Bolie!!!! Over and over as Holyfield got battered around the ring.

    You want to see 60 year olds with CTE get ****ing railed in a ring? He can die in there! A lot of fans whine but its good reasons, too many belts, no champs fighting each other, your point is absolute bull****! Thats like calling UFC fans whiny because they complain about fighter pay. We whine but its valid.

    Do you think so?

    In this clip you see Choi with Fedor and Natascha Ragosina (with Van Damme Kickboxer 3 music "The Eagle Lands"):

    Fedor is 183 cm (6 feet).

    And here Choi with Semmy Schilt:

    Schilt is officially 212 cm (6'11"), so only 1 cm shorter as Valuev. And you see he is visible shorter as Choi who is officially 218 cm (7'2")
