Holyfield-Sam in November?

[Lords Gym]

Evander needs to quit. I was just a kid when I watched him for the first time, he needs to retire before he gets hurt. I mean sure maybe he still has it in him, but who cares, just retire while you're still healthy, he has nothing to prove to anyone. The alternative is that he doesn't have it in him anymore, which I think is the case, and he might end up permanently hurt.

The thing is Evander lives to box, its what makes him happy. Its what he do for a living , i be more worried for the other guy, not Evander.

Yes evander does live to box, but at some point he has to call it quits whether he likes it or not, and why not do it while he still has most of his health in tact. Great athletes always find it hard to quit, except in most other sports they don't endanger their health by stickin around 1 to many games...where as in boxing they risk their health in their primes, let alone at age 43.

I think in other sports and also in lighter weight classes getting old is a problem as the younger guys are faster , and stronger, and its more exaggerated, meaning that it shows up more, however in the Heavyweight Division, its not such a factor and might actually be beneficial this day and age. . The Heavyweight Division is green, Evander has more experience and is a real fighter. . Fighters in this division aside from the Russians have very little amateur experience and after 30 boxing matches still don’t know how to box well.. Evander is conditioned young, he in better shape then most 25 years old Heavyweights. He has a few years left, now that his shoulder is healed up. He should have the opportunity to fight on .

Hi!

Sam is no "bum" he is a contender. Very good really; tough, can throw combination and knock out punch. I will bet on on Sam. Remember I said that I would never write again in this forum if Maskaev did not win. I did that because of his win over Sam. You see Sam went the distance with Maskaev and had him him work hard, so he is at least as good as Rahman. Holyfield is thus fighting someone with the skill of the top fighters (Maskaev we know). A too big risk at this point. Sam will end him.

I agree Lords...I also believe that Evanders corner keeps a good eye on him when he fights and will not let him sustain an accumalative beating....Evander is a cagy and well seasoned veteran and if the shoulders were the root of the problem and are healed, I see him outsmarting his opponents and doing Hopkins like tactics and tricks in the clinch and other types of things to sustain him in the fight....Evander will be fine he has a wealth of experience..

Yes well I wanted to play it high stakes; either I know what Im talking about and Maskaev wins or I shut up. (Unlike that Belfort character.)
