Comments Thread For: Holyfield Stepping Away From His Retirement Promise

[LA_2_Vegas]

Nobody wants to fight him because they all respect him and they'd look like the bad guy in the fight. A guy like Vitali would probably end up carrying Evander till the finish and I doubt he wants to be in that position.

He can't really take other random tune-up fights because he prob thinks he's preserving his body for this mythical title shot that will come some day.

Can't really think of a fight he could make that advances his goal

Retire Evander, you have nothing to prove...

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

He was getting beaten by Sherman Williams. He can't fight his way to a mandatory shot because he'll lose along the way. All he can do is hope Povetkin goes for it, because the Klitschkos certainly won't.

we all know he should retire. but major respect to holyfield for doin what he loves to do and what God has made him to do. we can only praise him for that. good luck to him

No we shouldn't praise him for being stupid.

He wasn't only getting beaten, he looked to be on his way to getting stopped in that one if the fight kept going on. Williams was hammering him with the same damn punch over and over, and Holyfield was incapable of making it miss.

Give it up, Evander. Outside of Povet-puss snagging you as a name on his resume - a la Hasim Rahman - you have no chance of fighting for anything remotely relevant in boxing today.

That was even shorter then Glen Johnsons.....

[The Nephilim]

NO WAY!

Why doesnt he get in there with Riddick Bowe? He's broke too.

Rematch punch drunk Evander and punch drunk James Toney.

Two steroid cheats.

How much damage can they do to each other anyway?

Make it happen!

Evander had a chance to fight Wlad, but he lost to Sultan Ibragimov -- and lost badly.

Stay retired. Take RJJ and Toney with you. You guys are not contenders anymore. Keep boxing and you're a has-been. Retire and you're legend. Easy choice.

He's going to get killed in the ring one day =/

Sad, and very very possible if he keeps going.

WAY too big of a step up for Denotay Windmill
