Why did Brian Kenny insult Holyfield like that?

[ChrististheAnswer]

The man called him a 3 time heavyweight champion and said the reason why was he didn't wanna diminsh the real deals legacy, what a jerk.

Look I know the win against Ruiz was questionable but give the man the respect he deserves.

Who is Brian Kenny anyway, to talk to a legend like that?

[abdiel2k3]

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

nah Holyfield didnt get mad at all he was a gentleman even when the commentator said "Even if you could (meaning he thinks he cant obviously) why would you keep going"

maybe it takes brian kenny acting like an ass to finally get through to holyfield.holyfield is no longer competitive and could get seriously hurt if he continues and maybe this is kenny's idea of lettin holy know what the people(most) think

Too bad so many of the legendary boxers go on too long when they have nothing left.

....**** Holy!!! He is my all time favorite fighter and I am so disgusted with him I wish he would just go away. He sounds like a ****** now when he talks and he is so dillusional it's disgusting. I suspect the beatings he has gotten have altered the chemical makeup in his brain and he is somewhat of a mental case in the respect that he has no concept of reality when it comes to his skills or future. Listening to him talk now makes me sick to my stomach literaly.

Kenny has the right....

Holyfield has the right to fight on if he wants and continue to embarrass himself. Hell, he even has the right to get himself killed.

But Brian Kenny, like anybody, has a right to insinuate that Holyfield is a total braindead dumbass for doing so. He could have retired a dominant legend. Instead he let his thick skull make him delusional.

Don't get me wrong, I'm criticial because I love Holyfield. He is the best fighter of his era in my opinion.

Who know's maybe King will force Holyfield to fight Golota and Golota finishes him off by causing him to suffer brain damage like he did to Bowe. Golota is the only boxer that probably won't feel sorry for Holyfield and would look to punish him where most other heavyweights like Donald may ease up towards the middle to ending rounds. Vitali and Wlad have said that they would not fight Holyfield and I am sure most other heavyweights would feel the same way.

Well hopefully Holyfield retires for his own good and safety. I dont wanna see a legend get hurt in the ring. He is already slurring his words in interviews.

Holyfield is the one and only 4 time heavy wt. champ...and that means alot (a few bogus titles or not; everybody else claims them so why not) considering he started out at curiser. I wish everyone would stop putting him down for wanting to continue and just try and remember all he's achieved. It kills me reading all the negativity about him here at the forums when some of those same people use to get pretty worked up over his next fight. Just cause he's stubborn and wont quit doesnt mean everyone should turn on him and talk about him that way.
I wish he'd retire too, but I'd never talk about him in an insulting manner, or make fun of him. He is still 'the warrior' to me, who provided me with hour upon hour of fantastic fighting.
