selij Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Re: Evander Holyfield UK tour What is the reason for him being in UK just now? Anyone know? He's been on radio and TV a lot, this morning I even caught him on soccer AM. Skint................lost a $230m fortune. And acc to his interviews doesn't regret it (?). Hasn't spent it on wine, women and song either. The usual "bad investment advice" and apparently someone, who he wont name, or even shame, borrowed money using his house as collateral (without his knowledge, yea go figure) and couldn't keep up repayments so he's homeless too. Apparently, physically the biggest property in the whole state. Unlike his stage/ring persona doesn't seem to have an ounce of venom inside of him in real life. And he's definitely puddled so shouldn't even be considering a comeback. Recent radio interviews were stage managed coz he was asked the same Q's on Talksport as he was on 5Live radio stations. Some bollox about a lad called "Cecil" who he pronounced as "Cee-cill" who he lost to twice and then beat in a 3rd fight at age 11. Weird. And surely not a coincidence that the researchers stumbled upon that simultaneously. (?) And he kept saying "Momma" this and "My momma that" - seemed more scared of his mother than Mike Tyson. And an image of that "momma" on Tom n Jerry kept appearing in my mind's eye.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it paid his air fair and accommodation. Surely it must be another reason?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can safely assume you are a hater, and a Tyson fan then. Also what skills do you think he lacks? No doubt you will invent something. Starting to think this a forum with as many haters, as there are admirers of boxers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Re: Evander Holyfield UK tour --- I don't assume, I know that your "we" is just you assuming that you know what you do not know. Early on mr. Field was a skilled boxer-puncher. Post Foreman he became a tough man brawler with no power as he slowly dissolved to shot. I'm not a fan of Tyson, but he was invincible until his HOF team died out and King and Givens put him on meds and stripped him of tens of millions that forced him to fight when he had life threatening mental impairment...you need to buy a clue.

I'm not a fan of Tyson, but he was invincible until his HOF team died out and King and Givens put him on meds and stripped him of tens of millions that forced him to fight when he had life threatening mental impairment...you need to buy a clue. Firstly, no one is invincible, so it is you that needs to buy a clue. Maybe stop reading Superman comics? I seem to recall Tyson beating a much better Bruno even quicker, the second time around, just before he fought Evander. I also seem to recall him beating world champ Seldon in 1rd, before he beat Evander, so he was not that washed up was he! Yet all were saying Evander was washed up, after the Czyz fight, who was a former middleweight. I seem to also recall that the ring magazine gave a washed up former light heavy and cruiserweight only 1rd against Tyson. I seem to recall Tyson trying to break Botha's arm and continuing to punch Savarese whilst the ref tried to stop him, yet was not DQ'd or even docked any points and continuing to hit Ruddock low, despite the fact that he had been docked, and could have been DQ'd again, but was not, yet had the front to say Holyfield was fighting dirty! I was so happy that the interviewer showed replays of the alleged butts, and told Tyson to his face, that he was the one leaning in with the head. and being the supreme sportsman that he was, telling us how he wanted to punch Ferguson's nose into his brain and gloating how Biggs squealed in pain and telling Lewis how he wanted to eat his kids and telling an interviewer how he liked to hurt women and how he smirked as he told how he hit Robin Givens, and she flew across the room. I could go on, but I am sick to death of you, with your hatred of boxers and constant scouring of anything I post, in your quest to get back at me for showing your lack of knowledge, your bias, your hypocrisy, and your contradictions. You can copy and paste articles, check all your facts before you try to prove me wrong, get everyone on your side, threaten to eat my kids, but you will never beat me pal.....and I use that word sarcastically.

chaconfan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Re: Evander Holyfield UK tour Quote from intellectual wannabe LRR- I don't assume, I know that your "we" is just you assuming that you know what you do not know. No, you are wrong yet again, my desperate nemesis. My assumption was justified, based on the comments made. In fact, it could be moved from an assumption, to a presumption, seeing that he clearly indicated a lack of respect for Mr Holyfield. Which would lead anyone with a brain, to come to the conclusion that I did. I also assumed that the forum would have fair minded, intelligent people on it, as well as people like you, hence the use of the word, "we".

LondonRingRules Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Re: Evander Holyfield UK tour --- Mr. Field won't be missing many meals, that's for sure. Likely he goes the Tyson route and gets some savvy guys to further promote his personal appearances and on computer games, bios and such. With near a dozen kids and half dozen baby mamas that we know of and who knows how many others, he won't ever have much spare cash to throw around, but maybe make some extra cash as a condom spokesman. We can only hope he finally got hisself fixed. Enough is enough, Ya Basta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
