Evander Holyfield’s Goal: Not a Dream, More like a Sham

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Evander Holyfield looked good a couple of weeks ago. He was bouncing on his toes, throwing combinations, and landing with accuracy. It looked as though Evander turned back the clock to 2002 when he beat Hasim Rahman. Don’t be fooled because looks can be deceiving and even though I would have liked to be deceived I wasn’t. You have to look at Holyfield’s knock out over Jeremy Bates with in a historical and rational context. First of all Evander is one of the ten greatest heavyweights of all time.

From 1989 until 2000 he was one of the top three or four heavyweights in the world and always rose to the occasion to give his best performances in fights when he was supposed to be beaten or at least severely challenged. This happened with Qawi, Douglas, Tyson, Bowe in their second fight, and in the rematch with Lewis. The Real Deal kept coming and his enormous ego and desire to win enabled him to conquer fistic mountains. [details]

his goal is to unite the championship belts

with the amount of belts there are and the reluctance of the current champs to fight anyone that seems remotely challenging he would have to fight at least 20 mandatory opponents possible alot more untill the boxing organisations force a fight between him and a champ

at his age he cannot do it he should be content being the only man to win the championship 4 times

I just want to see him win a title & get the **** out before he hurts himself, I think the chances are slim but I hope it's enough to satisfy him before he starts overshaddowing his legacy with poor performances way past his prime.
