      I always like to see Holy get back in there, hoping I will catch a glimce of the 92 holyfield, but once the bell rings for the 2nd round, i start feeling sad because I realize it won't happen. I now know how the Ali fans felt back towards the end of ali's career.

          i would say that holy, is in good shape at this age, he just doesn't have that huge punch that old foreman, that could allow him to win. holy should have 1 more fight with bcbride, beat him then give it up. some one posted his last 8 fights, but they didn't mention, that he actually beat ruiz in that 3rd fight, and LL in their rematch. he also beat the #1 contender Rahman

              Holyfield is like the Ali of our generation(I'm 27). But I would like to see Holyfield back in action for a final "adios" against so tomato can like Mcbride because there's no way Evander would embarass himself against someone like him.

                McBride could easily beat Holyfield at this state of his career. Holyfield is only like 213 pounds and he does not have a whole lot stamina or punching power anymore. He would get absolutely mauled by McBride worse than Tyson did.

                  I have to disagree with you Mckay, Holyfield isn't as shot as Ali was in during the latter stages of his career and has way too much heart to lose to Mcbride. They don't call him a warrior for nothing. I would predict Holyfield by UD or late TKO.

                    You underrate McBride as a fighter. Holyfield would get tired so fast with McBride bullying him and leaning him all night (McBride is very strong). And Holyfield's power is nothing now adays. He would be absolutely killed. The first for 4 rounds would be McBride holding and hitting him on the inside. McBride would hurt Holyfield and eventually stop him similar to the Tyson fight, except Holyfield would go down on his back and not quit in corner. McBride's strength advantage is too much and McBride's boxing skills are drastically underrated. He is trained by Hagler's old trainer now.

                      I think McBride is a crappy fighter, but I have to agree with you in that he would stop Holyfield. Holy has got nothing left.
