Holyfield coz he is too old and is getting beat everytime.

Holyfield
Id probably go against the trend and say Jones .
Holyfield is used to taking punches and he's only been stopped once in the last decade whereas Jones gets knocked out in dramatic fashion as in his best years he never used to take punches .
Mesi is a huge liability to the sport in the old 'First World', he has been told not to fight, period.
Holyfield thankfully is only making himself a bit of joke; by continuing he is not hugely damaging his health. Although of course any 40+ year old man in the ring, way past his best, is certainly not helping his general health, and Holyfield is showing signs physically, of a very hard career.
Jones is not helping himself by continuing. His alleged substance abuses, or whatever got him up to 200lbs of muscle, have ruined his physical talents.
Holyfield. He's fought some big hitters in his time, and even those that aren't recognised as hard punches will still cause some damage. Plus with his style it could end very badly, if not now then in a few years when he can't remember his career and needs constant medical help.
I didn't vote because there wasn't an "all of the above" category.
Honestly...I can't believe that anyone in boxing would pick RJJ or Holyfield over Mesi as being more of a walking disaster.
Mesi get's clocked hard...& he will...he goes toes up & never walks out of a ring again...which is possible...or he get's clocked & can no long walk or see or say his ABC's which is possible & senator McCaine get's to sanction boxing or regulate it out of existence or boxing just goes underground...
Mesi is bad for himself & for boxing.
How do you get by rules & regulations? Lots of money...money equals power & power equals corruption & Mesi & his camp have already accomplished all of the above.
they should all 3 of them never fight again. holyfield is a legend has tons of money. jones no longer can skip away from puches so he gets ko'd coz he has no chin and mesi was a half baked contender who has had a real bad injury so should go back to law were he has a degree
I dunno about Jones. Great fighters have come back from defeats in the past and won a title again. Robinson made a hobby out of losing the title and winning it back again and Ali got beat by Frazier, Norton and Spinks but came back each time.Quote:

But knockouts aside Jones showed against Tarver he is still world class. I mean with more confidence he could have stopped Tarver. Holyfield will get beat by anybody in top 30 or so heavyweights.
Jones would be an underdog but could still potentially beat any of the champions around now.
jones has lost the spark he once had which happens as a boxer gets older and begins to slow, but the fact he's been ko'd a few times shows he never had a chin and will rob him of a great legacy. he should retire inthe comfort he was uncatchable untill time cought his body and hooks started catching his chin. be rememberd as a great champion and not as a exchamp who became cannon fodder fo lesser fighters to spark out
