          Evander says he's going to keep fighting until he wins another major title but the HW champs aren't gonna give him a chance to fight for a major title anyway.

            It s a tricky one.

            Of course none of us want to see Evander Holyfield get hurt. And some of us even want our marker pen back. But what we've got to appreciate is that it is his choice of career, and that he isn't content with flipping burgers like Leon Spinks was. Now It's not for me to say if I think EH has money problems and it's none of my business, but that aside I agree with the posters who have stated that it's his choice to continue to box, so let's just hope that he doesn't take too many big hits that will cause him brain damage in later life. Perhaps this is the curse of boxing?

              I support his right to fight on. At least he isn't beating women up like the Mayweathers.

                Maybe he just didn't want to sign your autograph...

                My point, the dude is past punch drunk. Yes he the RIGHT to make a living, and if he passes a medical exam he is cleared to fight. But damn man the dude I feel is about 5 - 6 punches away from being a veggie. Look at for the fighters safety please.

                And no I did not get my autograph...and he kept my marker. #C'monSon

But they are grown men perfectley capable of making their own decisions. I assume they need the money, so let them make it by boxing if thats what they want... Would you rather see ole Holyfield flipping burgers at McD's? Boxing is his way of making a living... Personally I could't care less if he fought till he was 50 or more, it's his own choice...
                  I'd rather see him in McDonalds......alive in 5 years time. I'm dam sure we all would should the worst happen. People too easily forget what EH quality of could be post retirement if he carries on (even if he was to hang them up now ffs). Don't presume it's all about money because it's not always about money. These guys are deluded, they have been in the sport so long they can give it up and run themselves into the ground. It's sad and we as fans have a responsibility not to buy or watch these guys because it just gives them reasons to continue. It's a sad sad side to the sport IMO.

                    Whether he retires or not I hope he can look back at his career.

                    And remember it.
