Holyfield will be highly regarded by fans many years from now.(Of course he will still be fighting) -
Holyfield belongs in the top 10 of all time.Comment

He is a legend. I think he should stop now, because his speech has definitely changed over the years.Comment

Should have retiered after the Ruiz fights..
Either way I respect the man for fighting the best! The real deal...Comment

A lot of people tend to overlook him because of how he gets overshadowed by the Tyson ear-biting incident (whenever people think of Evander, they think Tyson), but to me, I look up to the guy. I don't know to many fighters in the past century who have been able and willing to fight the best of the best.Comment

Holy needs to retire but he is one of the VERY FEW who was, is, and probably always will be willing to face ANY and EVERYONE. he really is "the real deal"Comment
