    Another point is that I really just can't understand him. It shouldn't be about money cause he has earned more than enough. His legacy is secured as well. What could possibly make him continue? And every time I ask myself this question I see the people surrounding him. Not Holyfield is the problem it's these guys who'd rather see him getting really bad hurt than missing a possible cash check.

He said hes going to keep fighting, that atleast he did better than in the Toney fight, it was ridiculous. If he fought Tyson a 3rd time, it would look like Tyson-Spinks. And that still wouldn't be enough probably. I think medical suspension is the only way to resolve this.

      Why not leave this decision to Holyfield?

      I have read that he had seriously hurt his back one week before the fight.

        It is the sad fate of over-achievers like Holyfield that among the few things they find difficult to learn is when to quit. They persist in thinking that their will is so powerful that they can will themselves into winning even if all odds are stacked against them; as they have done in their past.

          Glad NYSAC finally stepped up and did something no one had the guts to.
