Before Evanders last farce of a fight i'd have gone with him, but to be fair he looked terrible and IMO did something I never thought I'd see him do and quit. I thought though that Evander had finally realised he was past it and couldn't keep this up. How wrong was I? He's back next week and I think he will lose to Nielsen, who is also no spring chicken but Evander is now completely shot and the more he fights the more he risks serious injury.
It's a shame too, Evander is a true legend and is my favourite HW ever. I think that if he had retired after the rematch with Lewis, people would now be talking about him in the same sentence as the likes of Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis. I don't usually like to say that legacies are damaged by a fighter carrying on too long but Evander has gone that far past his prime now that young fight fans will only remember this big name who never looked very good.
