Holyfield on Joe Louis "I'd tear him up!"

[holmcall]

Seriously what exactly is Holyfield suppose to say? "Yeah Louis would beat me ass?" "I don't deserve to be in the same ring with him?" Come on now. Holyfield is/was a great fighter. And he knows it. I see nothing wrong with his comments.

But why diss a great like Louis? What does it gain him? He should just go away into the sunset and take the Beast from Russia with him. Louis was a beloved champion in his day.

I'm just plain sick of Holyfield and his "dream." Give me a break here. What part of "it's over" doesn't he get? Part of my animus is due to the fact I hate to see great fighters screw up thier legacy by staying on too long. Same thing happened to Saad and that was sad.

It really wasn't even that much of a diss. He pretty much just said he could beat him. Yeah I agree it's time for him to go. It's been time. But he fights on for the same reason Louis fought on. He needs the money.

I ignore all negative Holyfield news. That guy that fought recently is named Evander Holyfield. But that's just in name. It's not the same guy I followed and made money off by betting on him. That guy disappeared when James Toney (a former Middleweight) knocked him out. He was already shot by than. But I bought his excuses (bad shoulder against Byrd, Ruiz to much holding was the problem) even though I knew they were just that. Excuses. Cuz he was Holyfield. He earned his excuses (they long ran out by now).

Now I seen a lot of Louis fights. Read and study up on him enough to know he was a great fighter. But he was before my time. I didn't follow him. So I can't back him as much as I back Holyfield. And I don't want to back him up. Louis never made me no money like Evander did. So Evander says he can beat Louis ass. Than Evander can beat Louis ass

Fair enough!
