OR

Worse yet Holyfield Vs Ruiz 4!!!!!!!! Because John for as nice a guy he is also believes he is a major force in the division

Why is Evander still fighting? Why does he have a license?
Well, because its boxing. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. It's sad to see things of this nature. I guess boxing is all Holyfield has in life and desperately wants to cling to the delusion that he can still compete on a competitive level. Given the division is filled with a list of tomato cans and headed by two really boring Ukranians, I can see how a 47 year old man, with early onset dementia, can 'think' he can win a title.

I would hope he wouldn't be sanctioned state-side, but nothing would surprise me in this day and age.
