Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield Gives His Take on Mayweather-Ortiz

[SmoovSwan]

Holyfield has 5 children with 5 different baby mothers and he's talking about morals? Give us a break dude! And Holyfield bit an opponents ear in the amateurs. What a frickin' hypocrite!

Did anyone even read the article? Evander really didn't bash Floyd & said he understand why he did it, as a fighter. He said he wouldn't have done it because Ortiz did get the point deducted, that's it. However in the most expensive ppv to date, it shouldn't end like that period. Full of controversy.

I can understand the article. However, why people talk about "Moral Values" in a boxing match. Are you serious? Those are two guys trying to beat each other. Is there any moral in that?

Great article. Mayweather tarnished his legacy. Honor the rematch and all this negativity goes away.

No he didn't... It was an emotional reaction to a foul... Its 1 of 3 similar occurrences, and in all 3, he was justified...

Now take into mind, he's had 42 fight... Wuts 3 of 42 isn't exactly something to worry about. Especially when all 3 were justified.

The "win at all costs" label surely belongs to Ortiz after all he was the won who tried to win the fight by breaking the rules. Mayweather won within the rules and without the BS Ortiz indulged in by deliberately fouling three times in the same round then overly apologising. Ortiz the Champion did not conduct himself as a Champion. Mayweather as the Challenger came to win and did so.

Your favorite part of a combat sport is when the fighters hung and embrace each other!!!!!!!!!!!
Really Mitch, why are you wasting your time with boxing, imagine how much fun you'd have in the gay **** industry?

so I guess anytime a fighter drops his hands or is unguarded..a boxer is not suppose to hit him...hmmm didnt realize that..thought it was the duty of the fighter to stay ready???? guess boxing has changed...it would be different if after the first attempt of the hug Jr hit him...it wasnt...it was far later and it was obvious Jr wasnt haven it...after first attempt Ortiz shouldve said screw it and went on..Ortiz was the one blatently trying to cheat...he got what he deserved no doubt...

Its funny Ortix dirty fouls Mayweather 1st. And Ortiz is the victim! PROTECT YOUR SELF AT ALL TIMES!. Ortiz has only himself to blame. And Gotti took his eyes off floyd to talk to the referee! These boxers need to BOX & LET THERE CORNERS ADDRESS the refs inbetween rounds!

But the bold is a lie, Floyd did accept the hug.

Coming from Evan Fields? Seriously? A legal sucker punch compared to PED use and repeated intentional fouls by Holyfield.
