    i do not think it is money.
    i do think he is delusional.

    so many of the things he says make no sense.

    he is in obvious denial, everytime he talks about himself as a fighter , it is the oppositie of what everyone else see`s.

    perhaps he watches himself fighting tyson on tape and not fighting toney/donald/byrd.

    Fighting is something he has been doing his whole life, so its hard to just drop. HE would probably be bored out of his mind. Plus I think he wants to win a Belt

    It might be too late for him to make it out OK.

    Some were saying that day passed when he lost to Riddick Bowe for the second time.

    He realy wants to win a title and with his name he will always get the opportunity. The funny thing is, he might actually beat Valuev and win the wBA and then surely he would be fighting in a unification bout.

    For the Majority of Holyfields career he has been the man, when you have a long career like Holyfields I think it would be easy to get addicted to that, and I think that is exactly what Holyfields problem is he is addicted to that lifestyle, he is addicted to being the champ

    He has tons of money. He had 100 million when Duva and Finkel tried to get him to retire in early 1990s, had 200 million after Tyson fights. I think he's just a nut. He must make 10 milion dollars a year at least just on his money's interest.

    Evander was one of my boxing heroes in the 90's, he is a sad mockery of his former self today.

    Evander is in need of cash and is the best conditioned 46 year old out there and besides who besides Toney with body shots has stopped him
