Holyfield: He Should of Stopped After Toney

[ProBox1]

If you're anything close to being a serious boxing fan, you have to have a lump in your throat about now. I know that I do. It never fails in boxing, all the character traits that spur fighters on to achieve greatness, always comes back to get them in the end. Heart, courage, toughness, desire, and the refusal to accept defeat, are just some of the character traits that enable fighters to go onto greatness. Evander Holyfield at his best owned all of them and then some.

Recently, it was announced that Evander Holyfield would resume his career on the undercard of a December 12 fight card in Germany. The last image we all remember of Holyfield, was being dominated by fringe contender Larry Donald in November of 2004. While Donald has decent boxing skills, he is the type of opponent that Holyfield would have had no problems with if the fight had taken place several years earlier. [details]

A good case, but really, Holyfield should have retired after the 1st Ruiz fight.

What a shame!

We see Holyfield is high on that religious stuff. He really believes he can do anything with God. Gotta admire his courage but not his intelligence.

I totally agree, another good post Bozo.

This is a joke and has been for years now.

IMO, holyfield should have hung them up after the 2nd fight with lewis.

I wish Evander would have retired long ago. My favorite fighter of all time. It's sad, and extremely dangerous at this point in his life. He's destined to get even more damaged.
