    Holyfield is one the richest heavyweight today, from what I heard. He's no Tyson, who only wants to fight to pay off debt. Holyfield in the other hand is a different story. The guy is a warrior who doesn't want to give up. But he needs to learn that even the greatest of them all reach their limits. And he's way past his.

    I really hope King drop him off, which I think he might in an interview after the Meehan-Rahman fight, for his own good. He really has nothing to prove, he has already done enough for the sports and fans would remember him no matter what.

      Well, here we go. Holyfield will end up fighting on a Ricky Hatton card at the MEN arena.

        That's what I was thinking also because if Don King can't get him his license to fight in the U.S. he will more than likely drop his contract. Frank Warren will probably pick up the pieces of Holyfield and let him fight in Europe and England.

            Banning him in NY is a great start, and if the rest of the Boxing Commissions follow suit, it will be a great finish, to what has been a wonderful, but in the end somewhat sad, career.

            Now if we can only get them to ban Ruiz...

                The ban is in effect for every state until the NYSAC lifts the ban.

                    Wow, I did not think it would be possible without direct medical evidence of a problem.
                    Can and will he fight this decission?

                    Altough I still feel it should be the mans choice to fight or not, it is good news for him, how his carreer shall be remembered and the sport of boxing.
