If today's HW division is so crappy, then why can't the 90s fighters win a belt?

Quit irritating him with facts.

 

If Ruiz who lost to every East Euro fighter he fought could beat Holyfield three times Evander wasnt much of a fighter...

 

the Ibrag loss was what 2007 when holy was what 44 and ibrag had to employ a one puch stick and move plan (i know holy looked bad ) are we really holding that against holyfield? the byrd loss supports holy's inability to be competitive with "top" 2000 hws, but holy claimed a bad shoulder and did look better a few years later and holy did do well against ruiz, rahman, and valuev (2009 no less) tho these are a step down from a 2002 byrd probably (esp valuev) so holy was at least competitive i'd say.

 

I've answered the TS question and am not concerning myself with semantics. To do so would be as ridiculous as the point of this thread to begin with.

 

because the financial carrots offered are miniscule.

And tbh people are more aware that you shouldnt be in the ring in your forties plus. no one wants to end up like Ali, a wreck for half your life.

 

You are right! Evander had just had his 107th birthday when he schooled that neanderthal man only to be robbed by corrupt Euro judges.

 

Right! Because Holyfield is slick and black more than Haye.
