Holyfield was an at best a good champion in his heyday. He had
memorable fights with tyson, bowe, foreman. But has had less
memorable bouts with Ruiz,Toney.However, he has always
had the "heart of a champion." And thats what plagues many great
heavyweights as they wind down their boxing careers. Like Ali,
Holyfield has stayed too long and will leave boxing on a low
note.Comment

ya

i think he took so many shots from mike tyson thats why he makes these ****** decisions, he prolly got bad brain damageComment

At best? A good champ? Hardly. He is after all the ONLY 4 time heavy wt. champion, and that's not to mention the yr's he RULED as a curiser wt. He is still known to many as the "Curiser Wt. King" and will always be remember as such.Originally posted by BostonGuyHolyfield was an at best a good champion in his heyday. He had

Everyone thought it was impressive thay Roy Jones came up from middleweight and beat John Ruiz. Roy is considered to be one of the most talented boxers to ever lace up a pair of gloves and he beat a slow, plodding heavyweight who will be nothing more a footnote in history.Originally posted by acquittedthe toney win wasnt impressive anyway u idiot...holyfield has been pro sence 1985...how the **** is beating a 42 year old impressive any-how
Using the same criteria, Toney is considered to be a good fighter and came up from middleweight to beat one of the greatest heavweights in history. I think it should be considreed at least as impressive as the Jones victory, especially when you consider that he knocked Holyfield out, something Donald never came close to accomplishing.
I agree that Holy should retire.Comment

I didn't see the holyfield fight but did take alot of punishment
or was he just outboxed? either way, Holyfield should call it
quits. I don't want to see him end up with brain damage like
Muhammad Ali.

yah, Holyfield has got more fights in him, losing fights! Holyfield doesn't need the money like Tyson, so he should hang it up. Holyfield reminds me of Apollo Creed in Rocky IV, the similiarities are uncanny!Originally posted by jack_the_rippuhHolyfield still has 3-4 more fights left in him.

How would he have KO'd Donald when Donald has only been KO'd once by Vitali. Bowe couldn't do it, so I doubt that a shot Holyfield could. As for Toney, everyone was ranting and raving about how great Toney was and how he is going to dominate the division. Is Donald also going to dominate the division? The HBO crew ******ly said that Donald might be harder fight for Vitali than Barrett would be. This just in Vitali already beat Donald.Comment

yaa
tha 8 losses just dont look good he cant afford to lose more then 8
if he lost to a bum he will lose to anyone
holyfield even said he was in shape
he should have retired after fighting lennox lewis tha first time
then his only losses would be michael moorer which he beat after
and rid**** bowe which was tha fights we loved
and he would have had a drew with lennox and then that would be good for himComment
