No fighter ever ever ever wants to retire. Of course Evander should be retired. His speech has dramatically deteriorated. This Hallmark guy is not being truthful. He is still making a little money off of Evander. No-one should commission a fight with these old boxers. They do not know what is good for them. They will die in the ring if you let them. Like dogs.
@bigassbullseyes bullshit he took loads of tests including one before the Tyson fight and it came back negative so don't just believe false assumptions.
Today's heavyweights are so rubbish that Holyfield at 45 years old has nothing much to worry about. Of course he's nowhere near what he used to be, and he probably cant beat everyone out there, but it's not as if there are any really phenomenal dangerous fighters out there. Guys like Valuev and Klitschko are just big mooses, they aren't "killers". Holyfield comes from a much TOUGHER ERA.
I worry the brain-related problems Tim says aren't happening may be something that comes up suddenly. Evander has fought more tough rounds than anyone. He's always been willing to take hard shots to land one, and he's never been a one-punch KO guy, so he's taken a LOT of shots. Way more htan ali/tyson, /foremna, etc. Maybe boxers ages should be measured in lifetime hard head shots taken. Evander would be 100 years old, at least. He does seem to be retired, though.
His trainer made good points that holmes and foreman were in such terrible condition and ruled the 90era, I know today is era is miles tougher but a great warrior like Holyfield could comptee against one of the top contender like the way he did with Ibragimov or lewis

He's also on steroids, does anyone care to mention that, he's used them all his career.

No. This era is not nearly as good as the deep 90's era. Most people like to compare the 90's to the 70's.
