What's your thoughts on Evander's return? Is he still "The Real Deal"?

From what I saw? He's back.
One of the best performanecs i've seen from any fighter in a long time. He looked great. He had a decent jab, decent reflexes, and great speed + power when he wanted to put the pressure on.
He got hit with a right hand.. but thats fine. People say he was hurt, i dont think so. He's a veteran, much liek bhop. He knows any hit you take should lead to a clinch. Don't try to look good and eat shots.
Him and bhop are identical in that area.. hit and grab. Had bhop not been arrested for so many years he'd have been on the same olympic team evander came from too lol.
I think Evanders problem wasnt skill, but health. If his health is fine, he could possibly be a champion again.

Did he look good against the accountant? Yes. Is he back? No.

I agree Dirty, that you cant so much say he's back , just yet. But I do think he is pssibly on his way. He started off looking a little slow, but he came on abit, and showed that explosive speed, that you really only see from two modern day Heavywieght fighters. Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Sure Ali was faster, and Chris Byrd may be faster also, but neither had the explosive and powerful speed like Tyson and Evander.

It's been years since his last fight, and it was an emberassing performance. Nerves and rust is what overwhelmed him in this fight, and he overcame them both and proved a valid point.
it doesnt matter who he fight, but how he fought. and he looked great.

Wish he would stay retired- he's nothing to gain.
