          i think Neuraxis was talking about how everyone was on Toney's jock after he beat Holyfield. This disaster which i was terribly sad to have to watch makes Toney's big "accomplishment" less impressive.

          I hope Holyfield retires, he is my favorite fighter of all time and even I know he should have called it quits years ago. He looked horrible every minute of that fight, i think he landed 3 or 4 good shots, but that was over 12 rounds. Evander, please stop before you get hurt

            No. The evander who fought the first round against Toney would have knocked Donald out. Toney beat Evander up worse than anyone had before.

            Neuraxis, you just don't like Toney, the same way you didn't like Roy Jones. Stop letting your biases cloud your judgement.

              Holyfield has been a viable contender for years, and although he hasn't been the same fighter over the past few years as he was in '96 and earlier, the fact of the matter is that he had a viable shot at winning a belt or two before retiring.

              That was not true after the Byrd fight, and certainly not true after the Toney fight. He had been promising for years that he would retire if someone really beat him up, but here he is, still fighting Toney stopped him with a bodyshot. I think the only way to make it stop is to stop watching him. Have a boycott, the same way people did to Roy a few years back. Promoters wn't put him on their cards if everyone refuses to buy them. And I bet if we sent him letters that might help too.

                  his excuse was i wasnt in shape, what's his excuse now
                  HE NEEDS TO RETIRE, he reminds me of meldrick taylor, after he fought chavez and tha way he talks now, a sad story.

                  everytime i hear of holyfield and him still fighting, i start to forget everythin he's done ( his fights with bowe, tyson, Foreman, larry holmes, buster douglas etc)

                  he should retire b4 ppl forget those fights
                  Some of us will NEVER forget! If that even becomes a possibility, then I have tapes of old fight's that I can watch to remind myself of the warrior he use to be, and what he's accomplished and done for the sport. It's so sad that he actually lost to Donald, a man he would have slaughtered yr's ago! He may be willing to trample all over his accomplishments and his memory, but the fan's that love him have to remember in spite of that.

                    Looking good and showing a good performance are two different things . Holyfield is still looking impressive, but he is worn out. Toney looks like a "Burger-Killer", but is on top of his game.

                    Holyfield should watch the tapes of his last fights instead of looking at his still impressive body in the mirror .

                      I have to agree with that, unfortunately
