    His inability to defend himself in the most dangerous sport in the world.

      Howbout the guys that are used to to get nice starting records the tomato cans. Every boxer (especially in the heavyweights) risks their health. As ling as there is no bodyly defect there is no way anybody can and should deny this mans hobby.

      Some people smoke that is unhealty, other people box that is unhealty.

        That is what you think. He has 2 arms that he can hold for his face? For the boxing rules he is able to defend himself.

          But the tomato cans eventually quit when they are no longer able to defend themselves. Would you approve of your grandpa getting in the ring at an advanced age?

            Holyfield is ruining his own career, he is losing stock in himself. People are not going to remember him for his great wins, but for the ass beatings he took from lesser opposition. Larry Donald would not have been able to do this to Holyfield back in the day. We all know that. Holyfield is not a fluke by any means, its like saying Ali was a fluke. I wish he didn't take the Ruiz fights and beyond. He should have quit after Lewis 1. He was given a gift then, kinda like Lewis was given against Vitali. Lewis knew it, Holyfield should have too.

              You have to dig him up first.

              But here you have a good example. He quit smoking, and every day after that he longed for a sigaret. 3 years later he died. What was the use for him quiting? Should he not have enjoyed his sigaret during the time he was given?

              This was an eye opener for me: better die and have lived your life, than to live a "no" life (in Dutch it sounds better).

              Holyfield should do the same. If he wants to fight, and is aware of the consequenses, he should.

                SOME of us will remember........and LL DID NOT get a 'gift' against Vitali. The guy's eye was almost hanging out of it's socket...how you see that as a gift I'll never understand. Vitali was the one that got the gift; the gift of getting into the ring with the champ in the first place, and the gift of keeping that eye.

                    it is sad, i thought Holy might still have something left, but after seeing him MAKE LARRY DONALD LOOK GOOD, i know he's done. If he doesn't quit he'll die in the ring when he faces a big puncher, when instead he should be enjoying his hall of fame status. i guess he doesn't want to let go of his career, but all that pride will cost him his life
