    I know what you're saying man but IMO he should hang em up would you wanna see him fighting at 60?Because really that could happen lol.

      The better question is why should I care? This isn't some crippled old man who needs a walker to get around. He's still in fine shape and probably could kick any of the poster's on this board's ass. If he looked like a bum or looked in trouble, then by all means I'd encourage him to hang them up. But if he's still in fine health, who am I to tell somebody they should stop doing what they love?

        Well Evander is still in great shape does that mean he should still keep fighting?

          Evander is in a weight class where damage can be sustained much easier. He's also still attempting to fight dangerous opponents along with losing his last 3 fights. Also, the fact that Holyfield can't fight in America because of this should be proof enough that the powers that be feel confident in Hearn's health, as opposed to Holyfield's.

              I just read in an interview with Hearns that his "ultimate goal is to win a championship" again. Thats not a good thing...

                  Depends upon what fighting weight he tries to go for. Doubtful in any weight class... there are plenty of ****ty belts out there to be won. Best of luck to Tommy.
