      Holyfield will retire from boxing when God tells him to, just like god told him he will ko lewis in three.

          This is probably the best comment that is going to be made on this farce…

          You know, it would be one thing if Holyfield was trying to prove himself in the ring, which would still be foolhardy but at least respectable. But the fact that from the outside looking in this is all about money makes this truly pathetic.

            This is tough for me.....

            EVANDER "THE REAL DEAL" HOLYFIELD is my all-time favorite fighter so this like all of his fights will be tough for me to watch @ this stage of his career. However, he should have been WBA champion based on how he schoolED N.V. last year. HE WILL WIN THIS 1 BECAUSE HE STAYS FIT AND AGAINST A POWER DUMMY LIKE BOTHA, HOLYFIELD WILL EXPOSE HIM.

              i remember mike tyson and francois botha fought on a january 16 some years back and tyson flattened botha with that big overhand right.

              i think botha should find another date other than january 16th.

                    This was a decent fight 10 years ago. Holyfield has a decent chance of winning this, Botha hasn't looked good recently either.
