Whats next for the Real Deal?

[RAESAAD]

He doesnt appear to be rated anywhere? Why not?

When is he fighting again, and against whom. I think if he gets a better coach he could beat anyone out there.

He should retire if we are talking about the "former Real deal" Holyfield.

Fighters are a rare breed of people. They find the most joy when intrenced in a big and brutal bout. So many fighters have held on too long to the dream and suffered because of it, while many come out seemingly unchanged.

To the fighter, the ring is what he knows, what he loves and in alot of cases the only time they really feel alive. A retired fighter going to work at some 9 to 5 job many many times will be miserable sitting and obeying the man 8 hours a day. The ring gave them their fame and fortune but its not that which they are looking for when they return. They are looking to rekindle the absolute life that flowed through them when they were fighters, the adrenaline. They will never find the staisfaction nor adrenaline that the ring brought at a regular job. They want to refind the youth and vigor that they possesed as a younger person, they step back into the ring with the delusion that they are still able to do the same things that they did in their younger years. Unfortunately, you can never reverse time. Aswell it is unfortunate that the damage their minds incur in the later years will be greater, and aswell that can not be reversed.

I hope that he retires. But I will not bash him for continuing on. He is his own man and will control his own destiny. I just hope that he doesnt get hurt.

Rockin'

Very well put, and to me it's sad to seel how much he still loves the sport, and how badly he wants to recapture a title even when his time has long since passed.
