...Well no one knew who he was when Byrd beat him...he had a torn rotator cuff see if Holyfield would want to try and gut out his torn rotator cuff again or quit if given the chance again.

He has had a bad back for a while and neck surgery...I think he shouldn't fight anymore but I don't fault him for wanting to continue to do what he loves and is good at....no reason to lose respect for him just because his body is wearing down.

Danny Williams had a torn rotator cuff in one fight and didn't quit so why excuse Vitali for the same thing?
I doubt Holyfield would quit.

Also Vitali quit against Byrd? Ike punked Byrd out in 5 rounds.

Vitali in his prime fighting years lost to a 38 year old Lennox Lewis who had one foot in retirement and went into that fight at his career Heaviest.

So let's all Welcome back Vitali who has already pulled out of a few fights.

Who cares- the guy was overated in the 1st place.
