“We saw Evander Holyfield and we all got lost in the nostalgia of what Evander used to be capable of doing,” said Nelson. “Then reality kicked in, he’s a 58-year-old man who clearly has no punch resistance. He looked the part, but that’s about it.
Nelson continued: “Evander made the same mistake as most ex-fighters do when you think, ‘I can do it.’ Is David Haye at the same stage as Holyfield? I don’t believe so.
Nelson also said: “Holyfield had been away from the sport long enough for people to forget his last few fights and remember his heyday. But you’ve got to be realistic with yourself and say, ‘Right, can I really do this?’
