Hmm well maybe not.

I know the point you are making but still you might be wrong to categorize folks that disagree with you as being something other than 'true lovers' of Holyfield.

I'd love to see him clean up the division and retire on his own terms.

Certainly there is a matter of being sensible but there's enough rationale for his continuing that I think - in the end - it's the hurt business - hopefully no one gets damaged - but there are many reasons not to be in the ring.

Youth. Inexperience. Age. Incompetence. The fact that it is possible to get damaged regardless of whether you are in your prime or not.

Some things increase likelihood of getting hurt. Age is one. Just one.

There are also still many reasons not to step into the ring to fight Holyfield, even a Holyfield of his present age.

Fres may just find that out. So may some others.

Since we have no control over the matter, I'm hoping so.
