He's 55 frigging years old, less than a decade away from Social Security. He definitely doesn't need the money, for if anything, he's been a shrewd businessman. So stay FRIGGING retired and go knit something!!

Unfortunately, Holmes was still coming up when Foreman first retired in 1977. Nothing would have pleased me more than to have seen Holmes getting squashed like a cockroach by the 70's Foreman. Luckily (for me), Holmes DID make the mistake of getting in the ring with Mike Tyson in 1988 and got KTFO.
Holmes was one of the greatest Heavy Weight Champs ever, quit raggin on him. He is NOT a racist and a bigot. WTF are you talkin about. He is actually a pretty good guy, he is just pi$$ed that he is so unde   . And he is a funny B@stard too.Â
He may have been a great heavyweight (I don't know that I'd go so far as saying "one of the greatest ever"), but he was is a racist, a bigot, and a bitter old man. Why else would he be talking about fighting at age 55? Damn, I wish Foreman would reconsider and shut that racist mouth once and for all.
