          I actually thought Holyfield looked good. The announcer was right, he was light on his feet and put some combos together pretty nicely. But, truth be told, Bates was at way too much of a disadvantage to call EH's abilities. I saw him take one strong punch and stagger. If he had showed that kind of handspeed and stamina in ADDITION to taking some shots, I'd be really impressed. As far as it went, though, not a bad showing. He's not "back" by any means, so no Roy Jones comparisons are necessary, but not bad.

            I don't, Tyson is done, he was great in prime but not anymore, just let him be. Wasn't he gonna do some fights around asia or some ****?

                So what does it accomplished for Holy? Nothing but money.

                For christ sake, Holy needs to hang it up.

                  He looked good against a turd, but this was a perfect matchup in styles for him. A puncher that just sits there and takes punishment without moving around and boxing.

                      Yeah that's great, he had more power than Mcbride and what happened, and against Danny Williams and what happened? He may have more power than anyone in the world but if he can't put away guys like Mcbride it's because he doesn't have the heart to.
