But he been talking so much shyt about being ducked, he better show up

Exactly.

As far as I'm concerned, the best Mayfield has looked was against Manny in them sparring videos from a while back. Provodnikov actually took them Manny beatings and turned that shyt into memorable performances that raised his stock.

Mayfield got bars though. nikka spit better than he box. Just needs some more polishing.

By TMZ

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield told a housemate on UK Celebrity Big Brother last night being gay is no different than being handicapped ... because a doctor can fix both.

Holyfield pulled the Phil Robertson like move during his first week in the BB house Sunday when Luisa Zissman asked him if there were any gay boxers.

Holyfield stutters while trying to answer her ... but when Luisa says being gay is normal -- Evander quickly disagrees and tries to explain why it's not only a choice, but compares homosexuality to having a disability and says doctors can fix it.

The Apprentice runner-up Zissman told Holyfield: "I think it's really bad that no one stands up and says it in the sports industry."

Holyfield, 51, asked her: "What would be good about it?"

Then Zissman replied "I think it's good to be open like that because it's normal."

Holyfield said: "But that ain't normal. The Bible lets you know there's wrong, there's right".

Zissman, 26, said: "That's just the way some people are born."
Holyfield replied: "It don't make no difference. If you're born and your leg were turned this way, what do you do? You go to a doctor and get it fixed back right."

She repeatedly urged the retired boxer to change the subject, telling him: "I don't think this is an appropriate conversation to have in this house.

Despite Holyfield's personal beliefs ... beliefs shared by many people around the world ... Big Brother producers tried to impose morality on him, scolding him for sharing his beliefs and telling him he offended many people.

Holyfield never apologizes and explains he was just trying to share his opinion.

According to Fighthype, Manny has chose to fight Timothy Bradley on April 12th

good for Manny. although he is more likely to lose to Bradley than Prov, he is more likely to sustain more damage from Prov

Calzaghe put in work for years. It's just that he took his own sweet time doing so. I can't fault him for retiring when he did even though there were some good fights out there left for him.

He got one of the hardest styles to beat in the ring, but due to his competition I don't know how well he fares against other HOF/ATG's.

Calzaghe was a good fighter but not a great. He would lose to closer to prime Hopkins and prime RJJ easy. He could dominate fighters with lesser boxing skill or athleticism....but put him against like ability and I am sure he would lose. I dont fault him for retiring when he did. Nothing to prove against Dawson or anyone....even though I could see him outworking Chad. Joe made it to the level to where he got big fights with no much risk for big bucks. After that.....there was no need for him to risk getting beat.

betcha Holyfield tried to smash tho.

still, I dont condone or condemn anything about Holyfield's personal lifestyle...at the same time, this shyt pisses me off that just because the dude voiced his opinion that he is homophobic. fukk is that??? he causes outrage due to homophobic slur? fags doin too much. why do you care what Holyfield says? if u then stop going on these crusades to shut people up.
