He didn't leave the game when he was on top, and he aint never gonna get that chance again, so why even come back anymore??
I sometimes think that boxing is THE only thing long time pro boxers know how to do and even with all the money they make, they still cant manage to kill their time and not have to come back and fight again. -
Makes no sense.
Why doesn't he kick back and enjoy retirement.
He's had a great career, no need to try and ruin it.Comment

To me it seems Holyfield is obsessed. Lots of boxers don't know when to stop. I know it's not easy, especially accepting that it is over for you.Comment

another sad day for boxingComment

Might sounds harsh but I think Holyfield deserves this : in my opinion he headbutted way too often and tried to damage his opponents with these illegal actions.Originally posted by SmashingComment

This is becoming farcical, he is on dangerous ground now I feel, if he is not careful he will be remembered as a joke and not as one of the greatest fighters of his generation!
I hope this doesn't happen but he just cannot let it go!!!Comment
