Where is Rocky??????

Holyfield wasn’t that good in his prime against far less intimidating opponents.

I’ll say one thing for Holyfield, he’s got stones.

Holyfield was an excellent cruiserweight who went nuts with steroids and became an excellent “heavyweight”.

That being said he’s out of his mind getting into the ring, he won’t be happy until he has total brain damage, his speech has already suffered a great deal.

I liked Hollyfield, mostly because before the fight where he destroyed Mike Tyson he said (then denied he said it) “You don't get enough opportunities in life to beat up a rapist.”

Have you ever seen Valuev fight? He's big but he has few evident skills. The only thing that makes this fight interesting is that Holyfield is 46. If Holyfield is 36, he wins with no trouble. If Holyfield is 26, he creams Valuev, even if Holyfield is still a cruiserweight.

Valuev is the modern-day Primo Carnera - big but can't fight a lick.

Holyfield’s brother is a patient/friend of mine.
A really nice guy down to earth and humble.
He works at the FCI trying to get the felons on the right track to reenter society and reduce recidivism.
Evander spends time working with the Boy’s club and helping to keep kids from getting into trouble.
He has certainly made mistakes, but he is a good person and has given back to the community and is trying to get out of debt the way he can best, not seeking a federal handout like others.
He said the fight will be in Germany. He trains in Houston near downtown.
Brought me an autographed picture of big brother I did not even ask for.
