Bernard Hopkins gives Evander Holyfield advice

You can tarnish a legacy. Alot of younger fans who didn't see him fight in his prime will remember him as the guy who got tooled in all the fights they saw him in.
Like Tyson for example, I was in high school when he was in his prime. Back then you did not bet on whether he would win or lose, you bet on how long it took him to KO his opponent. He was VERY dominating back then. To alot of younger guys, he's just a guy who lost to Williams and McBride.

I noticed a lot of people in the board treating holyfield like a bum and same with tyson (some treat tyson like a god but thats another story). These two guys had a good chance at beating any of the top 10 all time heavies in the sport.

Evander had the tools and heart to beat and atleast compete with any of the top 10.

Tyson was still a prospect when he was dominant and KOing everyone from my viewpoint. If he properly prepared for a top10 alltime heavy he could make them look like tomato cans as well

no ones denying either fighter's mark on the sport of boxing, but both need to retire (as Tyson's already appeared to), in this case being Holyfield, who's lost 5 of his last 8 fights since 1999. I don't think anyone is calling Holyfield a bum.

Thing is, people nowadays think Holyfield is gonna get hurt by BUMS. ****, i mean he's not gonna lose to this guy. And sure as hell not get hurt. Unless he's fighting Wlad or Peter, you can worry.

BTW, Holyfield is an *******. He only cares about himself..instead of his wife and children who dont want him to fight annymore.

Isn't Holyfield divorced?

If he runs out of stamina he could not only lose but get hurt. He should just quit. He's past the point where he can even be a serious contender.
