Why Won't Holyfield Just Retire?

[jack_the_rippuh]

He can't train fighters. No one speaks that guy's language..

I was watching Holyfield vs. Moorer II and I heard one of the broadcasters say Holyfield was thinking about retiring. That was in 1997, So how could he still be fighting in 2005!? He had such a great career, he should have retired after his first fight with Ruiz in 2000. He won that fight and a championship he could have went out on a happy ending. But he never wants to stop, I thought he would have beaten Larry Donald but he even lost to him. Its just getting worse and worse he is shot and he continues to tranish his legacy. Now he wants to fight in Germany, someone needs to stop Holyfield before he hurts himself. He is a great person, fighter and champion that should retire and live happy with the riches and glory he rightfulley earned in the ring.

EVANDER PLEASE RETIRE!!!

first of all dude, THAT'S A ****ING SWEET AVATAR!!! evander won't retire for one of two reasons that i can see:

1. it's hard to leave boxing when u're a fighter, it gets in your blood, you gotta be around it

2. evander refuses to believe he's washed up, he thinks he still be champ again


but then, we don't really know what vander thinks cause like jack says, no one can understand him anymore

me too, i just hope james doesn't tear anything, and he hits louise with the right hook to the body and then right uppercut when the manlover tries to clinch. if toney has a good night he'll take ruiz out the way he busted up holyfield

Yeah the right hook to the body and the uppercut will work great against Ruiz. I can't wait...THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!

hopefully he gets a showdown with Byrd, later too, hopefully for the IBF belt - James needs that one to complete his collection. i just want to them in the ring together because JT will shut Byrdy's mouth

Evander Holyfield is like Muhammad Ali in that he has the heart of a champion. One Holyfield's biggest virtues is that he fights only top contenders and won't fight any unknowns.(I know what you guys are thinkin but Ruiz was a top ranked contender when he fought Holyfield) This is also his biggest flaw because the bouts are obviously harder. He should take the George Foreman route if he doesn't want to retire and knock out some bums!

He won't retire because he needs the money. Child support for 10 children can be very expensive.

Say what you will, and it's obvious Evander has little to nothing left, but I'd be very intrigued by a Holyfield-Wlad fight in Germany in July or August (after Wlad disposes of Castillo or Nolan)...all it would take is a solid punch from Holyfield to get Wlad wobbly; but then again Wlad should be able to easily jab his way to victory.

Other than that matchup, nothing really interests me with Evander. Well, maybe something like Holyfield-Peter...nah, just kidding.
