Bernd Boente said the Klitschko's respect Evander far too much to fight him at this stage in his career. He also stated that either brother would be a very dangerous fight for Holyfield given his age.

Evander should retire (should have retired looong ago) or maybe attempt to save US Amateur boxing by becoming a trainer?
Frogs want wings so they don't bump their ass when they hope too. I have nothing but respect for Holyfield but that call, thankfully, will not come nor should it.

Its a tough one as far as what he could do 'after' and stay affiliated with sport. I'm sure given the current state of the program he wouldn't hurt but it all needs to be stripped down and started over first. Holyfield should just make a clean and complete break from sport..take a walkabout and fall off the grid first. The guys been fighting literally his entire life. I don't know though if he leaves now feeling "incomplete or unsatisfied" that he'll be able to come into a training role without that effecting things and making it about him in a way. One things for sure, he should retire, head up and faculties intact.
