Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield Replaces Oscar De La Hoya, To Fight Vitor Belfort 9/11 In Florida On Triller PPV

Evander at 58 has had indications of brain damage for like 20 years now. His speech as been severely slurred for a long time.


One of these days something serious is going to happen with these circus act fights and it wont only be bad for the participants but also all of boxing and politicians who dont know the first thing about boxing are going to jump in trying to make a name for themselves and put all kind of regulations and chit

Even the two paul brothers have no business fighting 8 rounders, they can barely stand up after 4 rounds and logan the older one had brain damage verified on MRI's from years ago

Tyson didn't want it, at his heart Mike is rather cowardly as we saw in various meltdowns late in his career.

Tyson did a light sparring session with roy jones and pulled his punches. They talked up that fight and then cashed out.

Tyson prob knew that with his history with holyfield they arent really capable of doing a sparring session exhibition without going all in

Nobody was asking to see Holyfield fight when he was fighting the likes of Botha and ‘Tank’ Williams. Why would anyone want to see him 10 yrs later?

Unless Holyfield is boxing Tyson, no one cares.

This is what happens with a dying sport. When top fighters don’t fight each other a savy and smart business person will fill the entertainment void. Boxing is a joke because the boxers themselves have made it as such.
