By Chris Williams: Some fighters just don’t know when to quit and call it a day. Often, we the boxing public, don’t see it because it often effects obscure fighters that the public isn’t aware of. However, Holyfield, 46, is a textbook case of a fighter that has over-stayed his visit in the sport and really needs to get a clue and retire. Naturally, I have nothing against a fighter wanting to provide for themselves and better their situation, because after all, it’s their life.
Holyfield vs. Valuev
Will Holyfield Retire If He Loses To Valuev?
By William Mackay: Evander Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs) doesn’t know the word quit, but after Saturday night, he might want to add it to his vocabulary, because in facing seven foot Nikolay Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs), he’ll be at a tremendous disadvantage and will almost surely lose the fight. For those who are keeping score, this will be Holyfield’s fifth heavyweight title, if he should win the fight, a number that would further enhance his status among boxing fans.
Holyfield Tries To Beat Father Time Against Valuev
By Jim Dower: Forty-six year-old former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs) will be facing two opponents on Saturday night – Nikolay Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs) and Father time – in his attempt to capture an unheard of 5th heavyweight title. Given his last performance a year ago in October against Sultan Ibragimov, the odds would seem to be against Holyfield in beating Valuev.
Holyfield-Valuev Analysis
By Erik Schmidt: Four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs) will be trying to get an unheard of 5th heavyweight title when he meets up with World Boxing Association (WBA) champion
Nikolay Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs) this Saturday night at the Hallenstadion, in Zurich, Switzerland. For Holyfield, now 46, it’s been a year since he last saw action, losing to then WBO heavyweight champion Sultan Ibagimov by a one-sided 12-round unanimous decision in Moscow, Russia. For that reason among many, it seems especially curious why Holyfield would be getting another shot at a title considering that he’s not fought once in the past year.
