Why would Holyfield keep going????
Surely he has enough money to retire and sit on the porch.

Nikolai Valuev will not defend his WBA heavyweight title against Evander Holyfield, despite US media reports that the former champion was close to a deal to attempt to become the oldest heavyweight champion ever.

Holyfield has been in negotiations with Valuev's promoter, Wilfred Sauerland, but the Russian's manager, Boris Dimitrov, said last night: "We have nothing but respect for Evander Holyfield and we revere his amazing accomplishments. I don't want to insult Mr Holyfield but he is nearly 46. Nikolai doesn't want to box him. That will be ridiculous."

Holyfield has not fought since losing a WBO title challenge to Sultan Ibragimov a year ago.

the fact thats its not happennig might end up being even more detrimental to holuyfiels health...fighting for a world title may have given him the emotional closure he needs to end his career (winning a 5th world title would have been great)....

now i just see him embarressing himself taking whatever fights he is offered for paltry sums of money from shady promoters...
