    Holyfield has been called old and worn on many occassions the last, but later came up with an spectacular win or fight.
    C'mon, man! You're either a sadist or blind if you think Holyfield should keep fighting. Even if he likes it, it doesn't mean you should.

      I want him to fight Tyson again. Let's put it the way it was supposed to be originally. That would convince him to quit. But there is another theory to Holyfield's futility. Which fight did it all start in? The Lewis fight! Which fighters has he lost to recently? Lewis, Byrd, Toney, Donald, all boxers! Which fighter did he beat recently? Rahman, a slugger! Holyfield always had trouble with fighters who boxed him and made him be the aggressor. He might just beat Tyson again! I dunno, it's possible!

        You want Holyfield to retire? Have Tyson knock him out, and have the crowd laugh at him on some "No Mas" ****, and he'll leave. It's you people who keep him here. With your cheering and all that other stuff he's not worthy of.

            I don't know any real fan of boxing who wants Holyfield to retire, but continues to cheer his exploits in the ring. I think your post is addressed to 2 different people entirely, and I should add too that the number of people who actually are cheering him on are very few and far between right now.

              The question most of us are asking is "What will it take to get Holy out of boxing?" Right now, I'd have to say it's probably going to take a Boxing Commission's orders - cuz I don't think he's ever going to do it voluntarily.

                Cheering for him is like at the Special Olympic's when they cheer for the handicapped people in basketball. People cheer for Holyfield because "he's special".

                  I did not say I WANT him to fight on, but if it is his choice he should. There are fighters out there with less skill than Evander, and absolutely no prospect ever to fight for ANY tittle ever. Should WE decide they should all quit? All the tomato cans?
                  Their live their choice.

                    But Holyfield's problem isn't just that he sucks, it's that his health is at risk.

                      Does he has a physical defects why he should not box? No? On what ground would they deny this man HIS boxing?
