Seems Holyfield will only retire when he's carried out on a stretcher

    My point still stands, no one is forcing you to watch it. If other "idiotic" fans are willing to pay for it, then they are. If hating on an old legend in a tough spot is all you have left to cling to in your life then you are a sad sad little man.

    I was probably working in kazakhstan or Singapore at the time:-(

    A guy like that must be able to make money without boxing though.

    Surely a guy like you doesn't have to go to Singapore or Kazakhstan to make money?

    It's patronising isn't it..

    He was on a sports show in the UK called Soccer Saturday last year, his speach was a little broken and slurred, pretty hard to make out at points.

    It's very worrying to think of the cumalative damage that has been done. The guy unified the Crusierweight division well over 20 years ago! His trainer refused to train him as far back as 1993 and insisted he retired.

    I acknowledge that it is his choice but there's something very disturbing about it and it's not good for the sport.
