    when he was asked if this was it for him. He is gonna get killed in there. Can you imagine if he had of fought Wlad. That Jab would have put him in a coma. He has to just retire. He was a great boxer.

    It's time to retire, he's a warrior and he will always be.

    He gave us great moments, but he needs to stop.

    I fear for his health now. Maybe a farewell fight against a C-level fighter would be okay, but I don't want to see him badly hurt. Sooner or later, the boxing comissions are going to have to take a stand and prevent him from fighting.

    Holy is good, but he isn't great any more. Let him beat Mesi, Fields and Tua.

    so yeah he won the 12 round but that does not win you a fight. any average boxer can win a round he looked horrible out there he needs to stop it is only common sense.

    Holyfield is delusional. Look, everyone except for the Holyfield fanatics who were thinking with their hearts instead of their heads thought he had a prayer of winning this fight. The beatdown he received from Toney and the shutout pitched by Larry Donald should have removed all doubt that he was finished but some people just don't want to accept reality

    technically, I don't know if they can in the United States. Native Americans are by treaty separate nations, so state comissions have no jurisdiction over what happens at casinos on Native American land.
     
  15. I thought Sultan was gonna knock him out! his stock and marketing power will drop not being able to put away a 45yr old man who is 15yrs past his prime:patsch

    As far as Holy goes why he wants to keep on torturing his body is beyond me? he's got enough money to last 10 lifetimes, he's gonna end up with Alziheimers before he turns 60:-(
