Holyfield Is Done!

[leff]

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!

Yeah, we just need Vit to kill him in the ring to fulfill the story

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.
I think youre selling him just a bit short

The fact that he is a 4 time champ doesn't really impress me at

all. Four time champ means that he lose it three times and did

not defend it like a champion.

good one leff, but after vitali kills him whos gonna avenge his death
like rocky did?

Iron Mike of course!

[pinaldino]

That's clear he's been done for a long time!
why is his staff still preparing him for fights?
for E.V. own's good they should push him towards retirement instead of training him. What if he gets hurt for good?
I know it's holyfield own decision, but I would not forget his team if it happen

thats awesome! Iron Mike could wear the American flag trunks like rocky!

Getting those titles is one thing, and defending them is another all together. I'll give him credit for getting them in the first place since many others have failed to defend them too. If youre just looking for something to critize him for then that's fine, but if youre a fan (like me) and prefer to give him the credit and respect he's earned then that is fine too.
Critizing him for not retiring is just, and understandable, but you cant take away from what he's accomplished in his career, and like I said, he was the Cruiser King for a very long time (you didnt mention that in your reply)
I think youre the one that said he didnt do as much (fan wise) for the sport as Tyson did, etc.... speak for yourself. Tyson did plenty oh yes, but Holyfield didnt disgrace it the way Tyson has always done.
I dislike Tyson and can critize him all day long; I think maybe you dislike Evander and that's why you're not "impressed" with all that he's done?? I was speaking about Holyfield on a professional level, not a personal one.

I have alot of respect for evander and was rooting for him last
night. But I feel like he shouldn't be considered a "great heavy
weight" in the likes of Ali,Tyson,Foreman,Louis. After beating
Holmes in 92 he just wasn't consistent in beating his opponents and his last 9 fights have just tarnished a good boxing career.

Yea... The longer Holyfield continues fighting the more he is ruining his record and his place in history. He's gonna be remembered as the one who didn't know when to stop.

It's embarassing.

[Deejay]

Holyfield is one of the all time greats but he needs to stop. He somehow thinks he can carry on...It's sad for me to say this, but I think someone needs to knock him out really brutally, and put him in hospital for a while in order to get it through his thick head that it's time to hang up the gloves. Otherwise, he could end up permanently damaged.
