The fact that holyfeild is just NOW officially retiring shows how pathetic his money managment was. This goes for so many fighters though and it is very sad. It's quite hard for me to understand how someone can earn over $100 million and be bankrupt. It truly boggles my mind.

you could say the same about Lewis, Leonard, Pacquiao, Duran, De La Hoya, Jones Jr, and countless fighters who try to get spotlight when they're time in the ring is done

People are seriously looking too into things that have nothing to do with a fighters career and then bashing them for it, Holyfield is the greatest CW of all time, and fought EVERYONE at HW during his time on the top, he even continued doing so after his prime, never did any cherry picking and always went after the best, you're making excuses for Tyson when Holy fought him yet you choose to forget that people were already calling for Evander to retire at that point, had been diagnosed with heart problems and overcame those as well, fuck you, Holyfield always came to fight, and still walks around in better shape than most the HW's of today and the last decade, more fighters should follow his approach and live up to they're moniker cause Evander was legitimately THE REAL DEAL

Man fuck the stater of this thread no respect for a legend man fake ass boxing fan you are dude. Holyfeild can grab attention if he wants to who fuck are you say shit about it dude. Oh Tyson was past it please dude Holyfeild was older, had more wars, had hart problems and hep b not mention at one point was a 20 to 1 under dog but know what happened he still kicked Tyson ass. Tyson is just a big what if who was good in a weak era and just another belt holder in the 90's who got his ass whooped by top guys Holyfeild being one of them. Name a man who fought ever top guy there was for 26 years you find it hard to find he was a champ in his 12 fights fighting a hof to get the fucking belt. He is the only man to move up to Hw and most consider top 10 atg hw he doesn't need pound for pound because he just went up and fucking beat the hw champ so there is no what if they were the same size shit to say i mean who does that. So he fucked a lot he was the god damn hw champ didn't need to rape to get laid also he never said he was perfect i am not religious but humans tend to sin but if they ask for forgiveness i think there in clear Holyfeild never said he was perfect or never fucked up.

Holyfield should be remembered for the great fighter he was and the pleasure he gave fans. In the documentary on Tyson he is a friend of Mike and trying to sell his Sauce and has a sin who box.

Holyfield is a friends to no man. He's a fake dude.

As usual, it all becomes a jumble of man vs. boxer. Those who hate the man will seek to tear him down as a fighter as well. Personally, I've seen much worse examples of fighters who masquerade as human beings. As a fighter, I find it difficult to find faults in him. He was a fierce warrior, and undoubtedly one of the best CW's ever. Incredibly, he did more than people thought he would do at HW. He took down big bad Mike Tyson, not once but twice.

I agree whole heartedly. He went in the ring trying to act like a hot shot priest or holy man or something, and all he did was marry, cheat, make babies, marry, chdeat, make babies, headbutt, headbutt, headbutt, marry, cheat, make babies etc.

he was a great boxer. realy great and good sharp-ass puncher with surprising power. Great chin as well, one fo the best

Kudos to Evans Fields!
