I'll participate...I challenge anyone to explain to me the positive side of Evander Holyfield's comeback
First off it's not a comeback because he never left so there is no challenge to explain it. Second he is most likely in 10 to 1000 times in better shape then any computer hack on this forum and most likely 99.9% of all heavyweight boxers out there and can beat many of them if not most of them. Fighting is his CHOSEN profession and livelyhood and who are you to say he can't do it anymore. There are fighters out there who get beat just about everytime they step in the ring for some up and comer and no one is forcing them out. So Lyle what do you do for a living and are you the absolute best there is or are there thousands out there that make you look like an amateur. This no challenge at all, I'm saying your opinion of Holyfield don't mean squat to anyone but yourself. Now why don't you convince everyone he has no business in the ring when he just defeated a top 15 contender of the world who fought and was robbed of the title against Byrd two years ago. Oh I know he's not the fastest and the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division. Hey guess what Lyle, either is 99.9% of all heavyweights. So in your eyes thats reason enough to forceably retire him.

The positive side, how about he's a man who happens to enjoy what he does and can, and he has fans that will watch him fight whether you will or not makes no difference. now the negative side, he faces the fate or chance that all fighters face, a loss, brain damage or maybe even death. If we or you follow your opinion then there should be no boxing, wrestling, football, baseball, mixed martial arts, gymnastics, downhill hill ski racing, auto racing, motorcycle racing, bobsledding, I could go on and on and name just about every sport there is. Now tell us the negatives that no other fighter or sportsman faces.
