Why Won't Holyfield Just Retire?

[Rockin']

Holyfield is like so many that came before him. They reach the pinnacle of their sport and after that there is no way to go but down. For many fighters it is the only thing that they know, the only thing that they have worked for since being possibly 8 or 9 years old. For alot the money is an issue when continuing to fight, but I believe that Holyfield had good people surrounding him through most of his career, and the money is not the issue. What could be the issue is that being in the spot light and having the adrenaline pour through your viens can both become quite addicting. For a true fighter, standing on the side lines accepting congratulations on things that you did 10 years ago just does not cut it. Watching old fight films of your battles you again feel the adrenaline begin to seep into your blood stream and then the thought process begins again, How can I get back in shape because I know that I can take these guys. One thing with fighters is that they never seem to notice that they have gotten older, slower and well lathargic. They will end up in the gym again looking for that spark of youth to jolt them back to where they once were, as if it were a fight against time. But time is something that the best fighters will lose to yet something that they will almost never seem to give up fighting. Holyfield is no different, he is a true fighter.............. Rockin'

we do why?

wow 10 kids, different women/wives?

I think he should have 1 more tune up bout then 1 more meaningful fight, after that the boxing organisations should step in and stop the guy. He's gonna hurt himself.

Yes sir, JCC suffers from the same syndrome

[Alpha Male]

he got enough money. its his heart, nevet quit.

You gotta be kidding me...lol... why would a guy who lost 6 of his last 8 fights continue to fight? It's about the money. That is his underlying reason for continuing to fight.

Yes, 10 kids by 8 women...some even live in his home. He takes pimpin to a another level...lol

he should go for good before he gets seriously hurt and then the money will be worth nothing.

I love Evander Holyfield.

Simply put: My second favorite fighter of all time, next to Johnny Tapia. Hands down. Muhammed Ali a close 3rd. I will never in my life forget those three: and will tell my kids all about them.

He's my #1 favorite, always will be. But I think the biggest reason he doesn't think it's time to retire is because he's taken way too many hard shots upstairs. Sad to say, but it's plain fact. He should've retired 5 years ago, but he just doesn't have enough brains left in his head to know it.
