    I sincerely don't think he'll get banned again...even that one Holy was able to get around and continue to fight.

    And that's the thing. I want him retired, already wanted it years ago, but Holy himself is still tilting at windmills and unfortunately it is extremely difficult to outright stop someone cold.

    Everyone is just hoping Holy comes to his senses before it's too late.

    Some people around here would likely be feeling mighty insulted if you knew how to express yourself coherently.

    DMT is working in an intellectual vacuum and drawing the Special Theory from his brain like the conjuror producing the rabbit from the hat. For his thread showed me beyond all reasonable doubt that his is not a plausible claim but a preferential treatment to the given fighter... Your frontal attack is not of considerable influence upon my thinking insofar as it strenghtened my conviction concerning the validity of my point, hope this answer has been concisely given.

    No he shouldn't be banned. Was George Foreman banned? George got beat up more than Holyfield did.

    No. I think he should retire, but it should be his own choice what to do with his own life. Besides which, if we were to apply a standard like that fairly, we'd have to ban hundreds upon hundreds of journeymen who've been knocked out a dozen times or more and doubtless taken far worse beatings than Holyfield as well.

    at this point, yes. NFL, NBA, MLB players don't get to continue playing as long as they feel like it and they aren't risking life altering brain damage. Why should Evander keep getting shots at titles and top 10 contenders when he realistically has no chance anymore?
