Comments Thread For: Holyfield Stepping Away From His Retirement Promise

[musiol]

a was happy ma man was retiring but hes changed his mind ah wel let him do what henwants no title holder will fight

[hillbilly]

we all know he should retire. but major respect to holyfield for doin what he loves to do and what God has made him to do. we can only praise him for that. good luck to him

I agree. People should not, however, be encouraging him to continue fighting. He's shot and runs a real risk of being injured if put in the ring against any decent heavyweight. It'd be like Rahman vs. Povetkin but worse.

For the writer of this article to say that "he hasn't lost since 2008" and the Klitschko brothers are "avoid[ing]" him is just bad writing and biased. Those statements would have been okay if the writer had said, "he hasn't lost since 2008 but he's only fought 3 times since then against less than quality opposition and one of the fights, a no contest against sherman williams, was one in which holyfield was getting beaten up." And, the other statement should be that "in an act of compassion and sportsmanship, the Klitschkos are avoiding beating up and possibly killing the faded Holyfield."

Respect? For what? For trying to get himself killed for paying child support & his debts?

An 18year old shouldn't be getting child support. It's supposed to stop at 18

Supreme Court says: "Without a specific State Statute, Courts may give an opinion or decision that says Child Support should be paid beyond age 18 giving a "common law", or "case law" interpretation."

So he probably got reamed in family court.......

No we shouldn't praise him for being stupid.

I agree....

Rematch punch drunk Evander and punch drunk James Toney.

Two steroid cheats.

How much damage can they do to each other anyway?

Make it happen!

And have James beat that ass again? C'mon.....

Stay retired. Take RJJ and Toney with you. You guys are not contenders anymore. Keep boxing and you're a has-been. Retire and you're legend. Easy choice.



Sad, and very very possible if he keeps going.

I agree with you on Roy, but Toney is far from shot. You still can't hit James in a phone booth - why is baffling due to his girth. James' problem is that he can't put the fork down and is allergic to exercise......But I still don't want to see James, Roy, nor Evander fight.....

severe brain damage incoming. He should be banned some how to enter the ring, besides who the hell wants to see him fight anyway?

they tried that like 6 years ago but he wouldnt go away
