Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield: My Goal To Be Champion, I Won't Quit

[physiker]

Leave Holyfield alone!

Mosley needs an idol and a goal to aim for.

And I keep saying this, leave Valuev out of this.
He is not of our species. Do the test--DNA.

Get this man a title shot already.

Give Holyfield His Title Shot, Get Him Seriously KO'd, Then Retire Him!

Evander can't beat anyone in the Top 10. He beat Nielsen who'd been retired for 9 years!!!! What kind of accomplishment is that?!!? I bet Holyfield could knock out Ali too! I've always loved Holyfield but I tire of his claims to want to unify all the titles. He can't last with anyone in the Top 10. Tank Williams (who?) embarrassed Evander making him quit. Tell Holyfield pick a champion, any champion, get him the fight, knocked out, then go home and pay his bills.

Guy is 50 years old and dont know when to quit! I wonder if he actually has fans that follow him around where he fights, That would be a life long journey to the ******* of nowhere and back to be a Holyfield fan,.

There is at least ONE. He lives in my apartment block, he's about 40 years old and ALWAYS tells me "Holyfield is fighting" on whenever the date is> I had a chat with him about it and he LOVES HOlyfield, thinks he's the best he ever saw. I don't really think he knows much about boxing though, just was interested by some story about Holyfield when he was younger and always remembers him.

The Klitschkos won't ever fight him, they'd be scorned if they did. They have more sense than that.

Haye would, if there was money to be made. He hasn't fought a live heavyweight yet.

I remember a good few years ago when Tye Fields fought Tank Williams, who being only 6' tall looked almost as bad a s haye did against Valuev. Although, unlike Haye, he kept trying. I think that Fields had just started training with Manny Steward, and shuffled around the ring awkwardly just poking out his left hand, completely unlike his usual "blaze away" style.

It was a terrible fight. I'm certain that Steward quietly dropped him shortly after he found he was no good. I think That's Steward's "signature" style of training. I remember that shortly after he began to train Klitschko, Klitschko had a fight with Eliseo Castillo, and did the very same Lennox Lewis trick, poking out hs left hand, and grabbing for a clinch.

Very awkwardly at first, but now he's very good at it, but without Lewis' dirty "tricks"

[SN!PER]

Holyfield still has a chance.

1. Holyfield wins his next fight against another hand-picked old opponent.

2. Meanwhile, Adamek trains very hard and enters the ring in the best shape of his life, and uses his speed and footwork to score points and keep away from Vitali's jabs through rounds 4-12 * as Vitali tries to catch up in points. Adamek wins a highly controversial MD on points.

* First three rounds of the fight will be given to Adamek, as Vitali has promised not to touch his opponent for the first 3 rounds of his next fight. (:57 of video)

4. ?????

5. Profit!

Holyfield - Nielsen had better action than Pac-Mosley, which is pretty funny considering the mountains of hype that the latter fight had, to almost none for the Holyfield fight.
