1. If he's talking about getting beat up, then yes, its not over. Getting "back in line" means fighting younger, stronger, and quicker fighters that are going to use him as a stepping stone.(1) "I just have have to get back in line, This doesn't mean that it's over"
(2) "Did I do so bad that it's not worth it for me to try?"
(3) "I didn't throw enough combinations as my corner wanted me to but he [Ibragimov] was quick in the sense that I didn't feel comfortable in throwing the combinations."
2. That isn't the right question. The question he should be asking is, "Did I do well enough to warrant believing I have a realistic chance of becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world?" By the way, the answer is "No, you didn't."
3. Translation: "I wasn’t fast enough and anyway, I was too worn out to do what my corner was telling me to do."
Holyfield was a great boxer but it's way past time for him to move on.Comment
