    Now that I know your not old enough to legally drink I can put your childish responses in the proper perspective ... regardless of age you are a bore with very limited knowledge ... I'll leave you the last word that most children like you need ... Later Russy ...

    Age - A poor man's excuse at attempting at tucking his tail between his legs and fleeing the conversation. :lol::lol::lol:

    Playing such a weak card I'm imagining you're legally old enough to **** yourself and have to get up three or four times a night to go to the bathroom? Joint pain? Alzheimers?

    Also, I had a girlfriend call me Russy once. Are you trying to hit on me? :hey:hey:hey

    The only thing I can offer with any kind of substance is simply, it will take the death of a fighter of Holyfields age, or another EX-champ of the same age to finally make an impact on the money making *******s who sanction, attemp to legitimise, focus on the income, Govern the alphabet soup of available titles, treat fighters as used cars and forfeit a mans credentials as a former GREAT.
    The boxing circuit is nothing more than a circus in this day and age. Monopolising pricks with their own financial interests have taken the game to its lowest point in 30 years. Its hard to imagine a man being held in the same esteem as SRR, Dempsey, Louis or a few hundred others.
    Several careers have seemingly remained questionable, although, careers which endure well past the mans best performances fast become unflattering and subject to ridicule.

    Holyfield has, nor had anything to prove post Tyson 2. He proved himself to be 3rd to only Ali and Louis in regards to credentials. He had the capability to mop the floor with ALL previous H/W champs prior to Lewis.... (Bar ALI)
    Holyfield is nothing more than a F-1 driver playing with dodgem cars now. A sad state of affairs.

    I see where you're going with this. However, I feel that at this point he's got the skills of the F1 driver and the "vehicle" of a Cedar Point bumper car...and yet he's trying to run with the Hamilton's and the Massa's of the boxing world.

    I hope he remains intact after the fight... and then retires. He is well and truly over the finished line.

    Evander's skint I think. He's not doing it for the love of boxing but because he has no other real way to generate the income needed to settle his debts.

    Alimony aside, It's that bloody mansion of his. It's an absolute palace and totally unnecessary but for Holyfield, it's his own personal Xanadu. Some people buy "I have a huge dick" cars , Holyfield has that place and he could solve so much of his money issues by choosing to downsize a bit.

    Evander listened to MC Hammer in '93 about a comeback, maybe he should look at him again when it comes to an equally lavish pad and the big problems Hammer had because of it.

    It's all the divorce and alimony settlements he has to fork out as well. Commander Evander can't keep his flies shut it seems - he has about 40 kids to 9 different women. OK I exaggerate but his family expenses are well known.

    I started a thread on this about two months ago, but was told by the general forum that Valuev's people had not yet agreed to the contract, and that the deal was more or less a dud. Anyway, it looks like the fight may come off afterall, but here's the $60,000 question:

    Who cares?

    Honest question, how many kids and wives does Holyfield have?

    Secondly, hasn't he made as much if not more money then Tyson over the course of his career?

    It's pathetic that this is what has become of Evander ... I cannot think of any former heavyweight champions who sunk so low for so long after their prime ...

    Shame is that he is running out of money and needs to fight but if he gets KO;d he may hang em up but the Toney fight did not convince him so who knows he is in denial
