    This is beyond a joke. Holyfield cannot be fighting at this age and the people that sanction it should be publicly flogged. I can't stand to see one of my heroes take this road whatever his financial troubles.

    What do people think?

    The journeyman that lose to Holyfield because what would that make the journeyman then since they lose to Holyfield? Should they be stripped of their license too?

    scratch that, I wouldn't blame anyone

    I would blame the same people who allowed Joe Louis to die penniless.

    It's not a nice issue to discuss for sure. But i don't think the boxing fans are making a big enough deal about this. Man has been in too many wars and is far too old... but i understand that its hard to draw a line so i want to understand whether people think that the commissions are dropping the ball on this one

    You don't think people should be saved from themselves?
