Evander,I know youve got to pay for your 5 Million Kids,but 7 years ago you were a great champ,do you really think your helping your legacy by fighting Vinny Maddalone,or Fres "A great way to pad your record" Oquendo?
Holyfield is coming along fine being injury free and handled well at this point... He is gradually stepping it up and not sustaining alot of Punishment... His handspeed, combos look better than they have in the last 7 years as well as his workrate... People could hate all they want and take cheap shots but Evander is a specimen at 44, guys like Ali, Holmes and Foreman were flabby and out of shape and not well prepared as they got old, Holy still trains like he is 28 again... He should be supported as long he stays competitive and progresses towards a championship fight, Ronnie Shields has a good eye on Holyfield and will not let him take 2 much punishmnet in a fight
He never had great power,and speed is the first thing to go
Its all about the paycheck
And he isnt competitive,he's fighting nobodies,he doesnt have time to "come along"
Your entitled to your opinion, but guaranteed you will be eating your words when he beats a Briggs or Valuev again judging by the terseness of your previous comments your dislike for Holyfield is blinding his progression and legitimacy to being a threat to todays heavyweights.. Albeit I think its a testament to how poor the division is, but hey if Evander can capitalize than more power to him
No
Actually he was once upon a time a decent heavyweight
Now he's old,lacking decent power,and fighting sub-par opposition(and trust me,one of those fighters is managed by our promoter,I know of wich I speak)and running out of time
It aint personal baby,its buisness
