Default WTF is Holyfield thinking?



Atlanta fighter Evander Holyfield wants to end his career on top by reuniting the division's top belts as its undisputed champion. The improbable comeback quest begins Saturday night in Zurich, Switzerland, with a tall challenge -- literally -- in Nikolai Valuev, the 7-foot, 300-plus-pound Russian who holds the WBA belt. The two pose Wednesday.

LOL. Evander. He's watched the Rocky series one too many times. That guy never knows when to quit.

He's also about broke, and i'm sure this fight is for the money.

LOL! Ol' Nickolai looks like he's thinkin' the same thing.
Hope Holyfield's got a good plastic surgeon.
Got a feeling that **** ain't buffin' out real easy.

Agreed. Holyfield did very well in the fight, and lost a close decision. He looked sharper than he's looked in years.

That being said he still needs to walk away before he totally embarrasses himself. Hopefully he made enough money from this fight to live off of. Last time I heard, he had to sell his $10mill home in Atlanta due to money problems.

How these boxers still manage to run through 100's of millions of dollars and come out broke on the other side still amazes the **** out of me.

I don't think there is a may be. More like a has been passed it

Holyfield could still wreck 98% of the entire worlds population in a boxing ring, but that 2% of new up and coming fighters is a different breed he can't handle anymore.

I just hope he doesn't completely tarnish himself like Tyson did, getting the **** beat out of him for every penny he can earn.
