Yes but many people amazingly forget that holyfield was also the undisputed cruiserweight champion back when there were great cruiserweights. His wars at cruiser woulda solidified his ticket to the boxing HOF alone. Holyfield actually doesn't sound worse off than he did in the last several years, should he retire? maybe. But in my opinion Holy is a throwback fighter back when fighters fought a 100 fights or more before their retirement, the mans kicking 40's door down but he showed he still has the staying power to remain fighting in my opinion. If he has a gimme like Byrd who has no punch whatsoever in front of him why not take it?
Look at it this way, lewis is not gonna be around much longer, Ruiz holds a belt and while holy lost to him once he still has a chance of beating him and he will probably beat byrd. He can in reality hold two belts and if lewis should retire he could go for the third belt. He will not retire until he gets his shot at being undisputed champ again. Holy is still the best fight of the last 15 years, no question. Holyfields name should be mentioned with that of Ali, Dempsy, marciano, & Louis.
