    Ask him what he thinks of fighting David Tua. That's the only real heavyweight clash I want to see right now, despite both of them being washed up.

    Haven't listrned to it yet did Spadafora say anything why has hasn't fought a contender in years? Remains undefeated and a former champ but isn't getting a title shot?

    Hes told that story himself in the interviews leading up the first fight. They were playing pool and Tyson came over and grabbed the stick out of his hand, and he took it back and told Tyson to wait his turn. For some reason he thinks he got one over on Tyson because of that? I dont. He beat Tyson in 96 because he was a better fighter at the time not because he didnt back down from getting his pool stick taken away.

    As long as he fights inactive tomato cans like Frans Both Sherman Williams and Brian Nielson, he probably wont have any problems. Its like being on a senior circuit. Id like to see Vitali give him a shot though because Vitali is getting up there himself in age. Wlad would probably hurt him pretty bad with his power and speed.

    I think the moral of the story is "Holyfield doesn't back down for anyone, and sometimes Tyson expects everyone to lay down for him without putting up any argument".
    Sure, it's just a folksy little story, for the news men. I don't think it had any bearing on anything, but it made a small point, and gave the reporters something nice and quaint to write about.

    I preferred Tyson threatening to butt**** reporters, or telling females he needs to fornicate, but hey, that's just me.

    I prefer this:

    I disagree with the title, it's one of the most entertaining interviews with a boxer ever.

    Have you guys seen this?

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5PxuZ8u52Q[/ame]

    So now you've had a glimpse at the godforsaken extravagant mansion which is forcing Old Holy to continue fighting, despite being a shot fighter since 2000. :verysad

    Don't tell Holy i called him shot.

    I just thought, how cool would it be if HBO hired Holy & Tyson to commentate for them, as a dynamic duo! :deal

    Holyfield is so hard to understand these days, Im sure this interview is going to be painful to listen to.

    Rumsfield, if you've missed my questions from 1st page, I'll repeat them once again :cool:

    - had he really considered retirement if he had won his fight vs Lennox Lewis?
    - when was Holyfield's prime as a boxer (his own opinion)?
    - how did he score his 1st and 2nd fights against Lennox?
    - top 3 wins on his resume?
    - how does he rank Tyson, Foreman, Lewis, Bowe, Moorer, Mercer, Cooper, Rahman, in terms of punching power?
    - why did he choose granite-chinned Williams for his next fight?
    -doesn't he want to fight some low level jorneymen (like Foreman did in his return) and stay more active?
    - what does he think about possible fights vs Golota, Ruddock, Mercer and other old fighters? It would be great veteran tournament

    I hope you'll ask him all these questions :good
