Give that man a hand - agree 100%. This fight is a crock and I don't know why anyone would want to see it.

I met Holyfield about 2 years ago and the guy could barely speak.
It wasn't a case of the lights are on - but nobody's home... the lights were off so I couldn't tell if anybody was home or not

Re: very interesting article on boxers that dont know when to quit
There are so many sad cases of fighters who continue on way past their best.
Ali and Frazier both should have finished after The Thriller In Manilla, Jones jr and Holyfield are two modern day examples of fighters who are just destroying their legacy by continuing on. In the case of Jones Jr they embarrass themselves by losing to fighters who really would not be in the same class when in their primes. Duran, Chavez, Camacho etc all went to long. Maybe Hagler was right to quit when he did? Tszyu knew when to give it up, injuries and age beats everyone in competitive sport. Is Hatton next? Mosley is 39 in September and before we get to excited about his match up with Mayweather bare in mind he has not fought since January 2009, come fight time that will be 15 months of inactivity. Mosley could get very old very quickly in this fight.
Hopkins is the only exception to the rule, he has been remarkable these past 10 years.
