He fought 4 fights with a torn rotator cuff, and never complained about it once ! thats a warrior, now thats a real prize fighter !! before its over with the throw backs are going to be deep in the mix. and knock these youngster on their backsides !! Holyfield, Tua, Peter for 2007 baby .. now that's what I’m talking about !

Well said, I think we are the only 2 around here that support Evander and think he has a legitimate shot at winning championship and look strong and sharp doing it...
back at yeah JT ... I think most people don't understand the pain in which Evander was in for those fights with Ruiz , Donald, Toney.. Evander was fighting with a torn rotator cuff during those matches. Holyfield had a 4 fight deal with King when he ripped his rotator cuff. went to the doctor and the doctor said that there is a 50% chance after surgery that you will not be able to ever fight again.. Evander said " hell with that I got 4 fights coming up .I am going to honor the contract, and after that I will take on the surgery and its risks. So he did.. Now after 4 surgeries that he is back to pain free. .

I have fought before with a slight tear in my rotator cuff.. Slight tear mind you , and I thought I was going to fukin die ! The fact Evander did it for 4 fights with a severe tear is a testament to his courage and warrior type mentality.. and he never complained once about it ! I Fucking love the guy !
