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

Originally posted by NeuraxisLike I said before, this certainly makes the Toney fight look much less impressive.
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.Last edited by whdempsey; 11-14-2004, 05:40 PM.

Originally posted by ThaGreatesti had a past a few days ago saying how holyfield can shock tha world by beain tha champ again, everyone thought his careers over after gettin ko'd by james "lights out" toney
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

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.
